Raya Meredith was at one of Australia’s biggest music festivals when a drug detection dog sniffed in her direction. The dog then walked on, the New South Wales supreme court recently heard, but police officers stopped her. They took her bag and searched it.
The 27-year-old, who was postpartum at the time, was then taken into a makeshift tarpaulin, where a female police officer asked her to take all her clothes off, bend over and bare her bottom, drop her breasts and remove her tampon. At one point, a male officer walked in unannounced.
