The NSW Government has proposed new search powers for NSW Police should they be re-elected this Saturday.
NSW Premiere Gladys Berejiklian and retiring Police Minister Troy Grant announced a new pilot program that would allow police to search the homes of convicted drug dealers without a warrant in Bankstown, Coffs-Clarence, Hunter Valley, and Orana Mid-Western commands.
Many have criticized the move as being an overreach of government authority and question whether it is needed in place of the existing warrant system.
