Thousands of festival goers may be entitled to compensation from the state government as part of a class action over strip-searches conducted by NSW Police officers.

The class action, run by Redfern Legal Centre and Slater and Gordon Lawyers , launched in 2022 , is believed to be the biggest brought against NSW Police.

The case has been listed for a four-week trial in the NSW Supreme Court starting in May 2025 .

In the 2018-19 and 2019-20 financial years , NSW Police conducted 9116 in-the-field strip searches, or searches outside of police custody.

Seven years later , Fatovic 's relationship with police has not been repaired.

Fatovic: "I still get paranoid and nervous when I see police with dogs" Orrock: "It definitely made me not really feel safe around police. I definitely would not go to a cop for help now at all”.
