Sophie Khan, legal director of Police Action Centre, a charity that advises people on their rights if they wish to pursue an action against the police, questioned whether strip searches of children were necessary.
"It is disturbing that the Met strip search children as young as 10 years old on a routine basis. Strip searching is an inhuman and degrading experience and children should not be subjected to such treatment unless there is no other feasible method to detect crime available to the police," she said.
