What happens in a police strip search in England and Wales?

A strip search by the police is a frightening prospect. Worse still is the possibility that it took place unnecessarily. In 2019, the BBC reported that in a 12-month period the Metropolitan Police had strip-searched over 10,000 detainees, 16% of the total number of detainees. Strip searches were disproportionately carried out against Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic detainees. A large number of those strip searched were under the age of 18. HM Inspectorate of Constabulary, Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) said that not all of these strip searches were necessary.

If you have been subjected to a strip search that you feel was unnecessary, perhaps you felt powerless and vulnerable when it was taking place. The good news is that police have strict protocols that they are legally bound to follow when conducting a strip search. If they failed to adhere to this code of conduct, you may have grounds for a complaint or even a civil claim for compensation. This article explains the law surrounding body searches, strip searches, and intimate searches. As a suspect, knowing your rights is vital. By being clued up, you can protect your rights and hold the police accountable for their behaviour.

What is a strip search?

To understand police search powers, it helps to know about the different types of police searches that can take place in England and Wales.

What clothing items can be removed in a normal stop and search?

The exercise of stop and search powers has increased 24% between 2020 to 2021. If you are subject to a stop and search, it helps to know the extent of police powers. These are set out in PACE Code A. In the course of a normal stop and search, a police officer can only ask you to remove outer layers of clothing. These could include a coat, gloves, a hat, but not a face covering. If it is reasonably believed that you are wearing an item in order to disguise your identity, you can be ordered to remove it. Police officers are entitled to put their hand inside your socks or headwear if they believe something is concealed inside. If the officer wants to search further, they must provide a reason.

More thorough search

If the police officer wants you to remove any other items of clothing beyond what can be removed in a normal stop and search, this must be done outside of public view. A ‘more thorough search’ could involve the removal of a t-shirt or sweater. It could also involve the removal of religious headwear such as a turban or hijab. This can be done in the back of a police van, or somewhere else that is out of public view. A more thorough search must be done by an officer who is the same sex as the suspect.

Strip search

Strip searches are governed by PACE Code C, which was last updated in 2019. A strip search may take place only if it is considered necessary to remove an article that a detainee would not be allowed to keep, and the officer reasonably considers that the detainee might have concealed such an article. A strip search involves the removal of anything more than outer clothing. It can only take place at a police station or at a designated police area such as a police tent. A strip search must be done outside of public view, and somewhere that officers or anyone else of the opposite sex cannot see. The search must be conducted by an officer of the same sex as the suspect. There must usually be at least two people present (unless in an urgent case where there is risk of serious harm to the detainee or someone else).

Intimate search

An intimate search is a physical examination of the suspect’s body orifices other than the mouth i.e. the vagina or the anus. These searches can only be conducted if authorised by an officer of the rank of inspector or above who has reasonable grounds to believe that the suspect may have concealed anything that they could or might use to cause physical injury to themselves or others at the police station, or a Class A drug that they intend to supply to another or export.

An intimate search should usually be carried out by a registered nurse or a medical practitioner, unless an officer of at least inspector rank considers that this is not practicable, in which case it can be carried out by a police officer. The search can be carried out at a hospital, surgery, other medical premises, or, if the search is for an item that could be used to cause physical injury, it can also be carried out at the police station.

If the search is for drugs, the officer conducting the search must obtain the written consent of the suspect. If you refuse consent, the officer must warn you that your refusal could harm your case at trial. Before an intimate search is conducted, you must be informed of why it is being carried out, and of the fact that it has been authorised by a suitably senior police officer.

Strip search or intimate search of a person under the age of 17

If you are under the age of 17, an appropriate adult must be present during the strip search or intimate search. An appropriate adult is a trusted friend over the age of 18; they could be a relative, friend, or social worker. The appropriate adult can be of the opposite sex if that is the person that you have chosen. If you would prefer, the search can take place in the absence of the appropriate adult. If you are a young person who is to undergo an intimate search, your consent must be given in the presence of the appropriate adult.

How is a strip search conducted in the UK?

A strip search must take place out of public view. In order to minimise your embarrassment, you should not usually be required to remove all of your clothes at once. Usually you will be allowed to remove all the clothing above the waist and redress, before removing the rest of your clothing. The search must be conducted as quickly as possible, and you should be allowed to dress as soon as the procedure is complete.

If it is necessary to assist the search, you can be asked to hold your arms in the air, or stand with your legs apart and bent forward so that a visual examination can be made of the genital and anal areas. Note that the officer may not make physical contact with your body orifices as part of a strip search (this would constitute an intimate search).

What are your rights when you are strip searched?

If you are strip searched, it helps to know your rights. Here is some advice to keep in mind.

• Don’t be afraid to speak out and inform officers if you believe that they are not acting in accordance with the law.
• If you feel uncomfortable about how the search is being conducted, or the location where the search is being carried out, inform the officer who is doing the search, and ask them to put it in your records. For example, you could ask for the search to take place in a more private space.
• You have a right to ask questions about why the search is happening and what will happen next. You also have a right to film the search, although you must ask the officer conducting the search for permission before you switch the camera on.
• You are entitled to a copy of the search form, or where this has been digitised, the reference number for the search form that will enable you to retrieve a copy from the police station. You can request a copy of the search form any time within 3 months after the search.
• The search must be carried out with regard to your dignity, sensitivity, and vulnerability. This includes your health, hygiene, and welfare needs. The officer conducting the search should make all reasonable efforts to secure your cooperation and minimise embarrassment.

What should you do if you believe that you were strip searched unlawfully?

If you believe that a strip search was carried out unlawfully, you can make a complaint to the police force who carried out the search. You can also speak with a solicitor specialising in civil liberties to discuss bringing a civil action against the police for compensation. Because claims under the Human Rights Act 1998 must be lodged within 12 months of the incident, you should speak with a solicitor as soon as possible if you think that you may want to pursue a claim. At Stuart Miller Solicitors, our civil liberties team are ready to help. Contact us for a no-obligation consultation today.

We had an issue with the police raising an incorrect safeguarding issue against our daughter because we used a Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) which they disagreed with (wet cupping therapy). The police wanted us to sign a community resolution order admitting that we assaulted our child! We spoke to Mohammed Zeb who swiftly acted to contact experts in our field and his field, along with experts in social services matters and gave us recommendations to challenge the police. Their weak case quickly dissolved into no further action when the police realised that we would not accept a resolution order claiming we assaulted our child.I would strongly recommend Mr Zeb to all and would use nobody but them in the future.

Stuart Millers were great at dealing with a tricky case and managed to get a great outcome. From the first meeting and hearing, Abu Kibla was friendly, knowledgable and very helpful and you can see a genuine care for his clients. Luke Collins did the day to day and was great at preparing clear written representations and dealing with the CPS. Kathleen Joyce attended the final hearing and despite a last minute time change by the court the day before, she was well prepared, presented the case and mitigation arguments perfectly and was very reassuring and comforting throughout the whole day. Professional, responsive and reasonable fees. Would definitely recommend the firm.

Unfortunately I got myself into abit of trouble and didn't have a solicitor at the time. When I was in the police station I was asked if I wanted a solicitor and I said yes and I was then put in a cell till I was interviewed. Officer come to my cell to take me to my interview and asked if I wanted to consult with my solicitor I said yes, when we got to the Consultation room Mr Zeb was waiting for me and he ensured me that everything was going to be okay and this case will be solved with no problems at all and he was right I got NFA and the case was dropped that's all thanks to Mr Zeb he was very professional in this field and was intouch with me and kept me updated with everything that was going on. I will definitely use this firm again in future.

Words can not do justice to Stuart Miller Solicitors. I am forever grateful to Mohammad Zeb and Savannah who came to me like angels along with their appointed barrister Harry Mcdonald when my son was on trial. With my son having three charges against him along with joint enterprise which included affray and violent disorder. They took the case on and from the very 1st day kept me updated with the progress and supported me throughout the case. With my son in remand and a serious injury to his face they kept him motivated and in the right frame of mind with video links. Also they were available to him even on weekends if he had any questions. Their guidance and professionalism was absolutely outstanding. Savannah was superb throughout this case. Her approach to everything made it easy for me and my family. The barrister Harry took the case on at short notice and what a outstanding approach he had. Being in court for the 1st time for my son he represented my son superbly. After arguing his defence for my son for 7 gruelling days my son was found not guilty of all charges. I can not praise Stuart Miller enough. A must go to firm if you are in a unfortunate situation and need legal help. Wish Mohammad Zeb, Savannah, Harry Mcdonald and everyone at Stuart Miller the very best for the future. A very big thank you from me and my family.

If you need a criminal defence solicitor that delivers results, contact Mr Zeb. He s the best in his field. From the moment I walked into Stuart Miller Solicitor's office, I knew I was in good hands. His unmatched expertise and personalized approach ensured that my charges dropped before the hustle of reaching out to court, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Stuart Miller Solicitors are very good but Mr Zeb is the best. I highly recommend him and the firm to anyone facing legal challenges

Unfortunately got myself in a situation where I needed legal representation. My solicitor was great, but attention needs to be drawn especially to Amirah. She well and truly went over and beyond what most people would do, to help me resolve the situation. Nothing was ever too much, in fact it was her who pushed things further than I'd have even asked her to, she really does care about not just her occupation, but the people she helps. Cannot say enough good things about her... not just good legal representation, but an actual lovely person who genuinely cares, and you don't get that very often anymore. So, thank you to Stuart Miller Solicitors in Wood Green, but definitely, more importantly, to Amirah.

I would like to say a big thank you to Savannah Loizides. My elderly mother recently required legal assistance for a police interview as part of an investigation.Savannah was professional, caring and supportive.

He was very helpful and made us feel at ease right away.We left pleasantly satisfied and would definitely recommend Abu Kibla to anyone needing representation.Thank you

Jake Elliott

11:46 02 Aug 23

Abu Kibla represented me for my second drink driving offence, and not only that I had no license or insurance. Perhaps I am exposing myself saying that but you need the context as Kibla managed to get my ban reduced from 3 years to 2.5, and only a 200 pound fine. Aside from being very professional at what he does, he's also a good guy, who has your back. He explained my situation to the judge in a clear way I wouldn't have been able to. Don't hesitate!

R M

20:05 01 Aug 23

I would like to thank everyone at Stuart miller especially to Kibla for their excellent work. At a time when things were very hard for me they helped me win my case. I hoped for total support from Stuart Miller when I instructed them, I got so much more. I would highly recommend Stuart Miller to anyone seeking for a reliable legal team. Many thanks again for everything, you were brilliant.

I really don't know where to start, but this firm is amazing. From my initial contact, then my first meeting With Mr Zeb, I knew I was going to be in good hands.I found myself in a very difficult situation in March 2019 and my case did not come to an end until July of this year. Throughout, there has always been good communication and although the outcome of my case was not looking good, I'm glad the team were honest about what to expect.I would like to thank Reem Khatib especially, who went above and beyond. I couldn't have asked for a better solicitor. Very thorough and informative and helped put my mind at ease as there were several aspects of my case that made things extremely difficult. One thing I loved about Reem was that she cared. Really, really cared, which is what you want in a situation like this. In the lead up to my sentencing hearing, Reem was abroad and still checked in with me.I was expecting a custodial sentence with a starting point of 5 years and managed to leave court with a suspended sentence/community service. This could only be down to Reem's dedication and hard work. Nobody expected this and I am very glad to have had her working on my case. As well as my Barrister, Lily, special thanks to you also. I really don't think I would have had this outcome had it not have been for you two.I am glad this is finally over and once again would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Reem. She really fought for the best possible outcome, which I received.I will never find myself in any trouble again, but would highly recommend Stuart Miller Solicitors for anyone that may need a solicitor.Thanks againJahnel

Stuart Miller helped me navigate through the legal process for the first time, providing excellent guidance throughout the entirety of such a stressful period. I would like to thank Selina Guler for her wonderful work in preparing my defence, as well as Joe Barlow, who were exceptionally helpful throughout the process, explaining everything that arose in detail so as to ensure I could make informed decisions throughout. My experience felt personalised, and gave me the reassurances I needed to calm my nerves, in comparison to the regular ignorant demeanour that typically comes hand in hand with law firms. I felt supported and in safe hands from my initial enquiry right through to the end.
