NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller has hit back at calls to water-down police powers, warning it could lead to a rise in youth crime.

There has been a growing push to ban strip searches and sniffer dogs at music festivals across the state since NSW Deputy Coroner Harriet Grahame called for a softening of police

measures. Mr Fuller said the state avoided major problems with current police practice and feared a relaxed approach would create a "generation of kids with no respect for authority".

Is this a function of improved technology/care (replacements) for us or a case of throw-away culture, and expenditure for GDP's sake? Nice to hear more about this practical woman organising the project
