Comment on Young woman's strip search at festival akin to 'sexual assault', court told

Failure to train my ass. Those bastards are completely aware of what they are doing to these women and taking advantage of their own authority. This country would rather see these pigs kill their house pets and sexually molest their own kids before ever demanding a shred of accountability. We’ve all seen the type of shit that gets posted to bad cop no donut on the daily. The benefits to working that kind of job is bound to continue attracting more assholes.

Is this a problem in Australia too?

Yup. Not to quite the same extent as America…you’re much less likely to get shot by an Australian cop, and cops who do provably wrong as an individual (as opposed to institutional problems like the one in this story) are much more likely to get charged here. But by and large it’s exactly the same problem.

  It used to be a huge problem in QLD in the 1980s.
  
  Wait, that was when Dutton was a cop, wasn’t it!?
