Drug dogs challenge

-

THREE young men will challenge NSW Police in court after authoritie­s announced they would deny entry to Sydney festivalgo­ers singled out by sniffer dogs, even if no drugs were found.

Tom Raue is one of three plaintiffs planning to file an injunction in the Supreme Court today to stop what has been labelled an overreach of police powers.

The 27-year-old said the often-inaccurate dog indication­s prompted police body searches that left punters feeling violated.
