Police strip search 'wouldn't have happened if I was a man' woman claims

‘Maria’ claims she was strip searched when she was arrested by Greater Manchester Police in May 2023 for malicious communications - she was accused of swearing at police during a call.

GMP say they thought she may be concealing a vape.

In response, the force says there’s currently ‘no evidence to suggest that any GMP employees have misconducted themselves or committed a criminal offence’.

Their full reply plays at the end of this video.
