Polis menjadi mangsa luahan perasaan sekali lagi.
Disebabkan nila setitik, habis rosak susu sebelanga.
Seekoar kerbau yang membawa lumpur, habis semuanya
terpalit. 

Yang menjadi mangsa ialah kebanyakan anggota polis
yang masih ikhlas menjalankan tanggungjawab menjaga
ketenteraman awam dengan motonya Mesra, Cepat dan
Betul.

Justeru itu kepentingan anggota-anggota polis yang
menjalankan tugas haruslah dilindungi agar mereka
tidak terperangkap dengan sistem perundangan yang
mencabar dewasa ini. Arahan lisan sering boleh
dipertikaikan dan membawa seribu satu macam pengertian
sekiranya ianya tidak diiringi dengan arahan secara
bertulis. Justeru itu untuk mengelakkan ramai pihak
yang malu akibat isu ketuk ketampi oleh tahanan reman
polis tempoh hari satu peraturan yang khusus haruslah
dirangka untuk melakukan pemeriksaan terhadap tahanan.

Sekiranya ketuk ketampi adalah satu cara yang lazim
dilakukan, ianya hendaklah diwartakan dengan jelas.
Berapa kali ketuk ketampi harus dilakukan, bagaimana
caranya, memegang atau tidak memegang telinga, kalau
yang mengandung bagaimana ? Kemudian bilik dimana
tahanan diarahkan untuk membuka pakaian hendaklah
dijelaskan keadaannya samada bilik konkrit, bilik yang
tidak mempunyai tingkap berkaca, bilik yang tidak
mempunyai cermin ? Kemudian pula haruslah diadakan
peraturan agar peguam, pelawat bahkan anggota polis
sendiri tidak dibenarkan membawa kamera serta talipon
berkamera dalam kawasan lokap dan sebagainya.

Segala peraturan ini haruslah dibuat untuk tatapan
umum agar membuktikan ketelusan pihak polis
menjalankan tugas mereka disamping menanamkan budaya
agar masyarakat Malaysia ini memahami sistem
perundangan negara sebelum membuat sebarang tuduhan
kepada pihak polis.

Berikut ialah prosedur terperinci bagaimana untuk
melakukan pemeriksaan terhadap tahanan yang boleh
didapati dengan mudah oleh orang awam melalui laman
web Jabatan Pemulihan New Zealand ( New Zealand
Department Of Corrections)
http://www.corrections.govt.nz/public/policyandlegislation/ppm/sectionb/b15/b1501r5.html

Antara prosedur yang menarik perhatian yang terdapat
dalam peraturan melakukan pemeriksaan terhapap tahanan
ialah :

1. Apabila pakaian ditanggalkan oleh tahanan, samada
menaikkan, menurunkan atau membuka pakaian, untuk
memeriksa tahanan tidak menyembunyikan senjata.
TAHANAN YANG DIPERIKSA MESTILAH DIPASTIKAN MEMPUNYAI
PAKAIAN YANG MENUTUP LEBIH DARIPADA SEPARUH BADANNYA
PADA BILA-BILA MASA MELAINKAN DALAMKEADAAN YANG
BENAR-BENAR MUNASABAH. (Lihat bagaimana prihatinnya
undang-undang ini menjaga kehormatan manusia walaupun
mereka adalah merupakan tahanan)

2. Ketika melakukan pemeriksaan, tahanan yang
diperiksa boleh diarahkan untuk, membuka mulut,
menunjukkan tapak tangan, menunjukkan tapak kaki,
mengurai rambut, mengangkat tangan untuk menunjukkan
ketiak.

Policy and Procedures Manual
B.15 Prisoner and Prison Facility Searching
B.15.01.R5 Prisoner Strip Search (National
Requirement)

Authority for strip search

Section 98(5) of the Corrections Act 2004 authorises
strip searches:

Only for the purpose of detecting any unauthorised
item; and 
Only if a strip search (rather than a scanner search
or a rub-down search) is necessary in the
circumstances for the purpose of detecting an
unauthorised item 
When a strip search MUST be conducted

A prisoner must be required to undergo a strip search
in the situations outlined in Section 98(7) of the
Corrections Act 2004, which are:

On first being admitted to a prison; and 
Immediately before the prisoner is transferred to
another prison; and 
When a prisoner is received in a prison after transfer
from another prison. 
When a strip search MAY be conducted

The situations in which a strip search may be
conducted are:

Where an officer has reasonable grounds for believing
that the prisoner has an unauthorised item in their
possession; and 
The officer has obtained the approval of the Prison
Manager (or delegated manager in accordance with the
Prison Manager Delegations Framework) to conduct a
strip search (section 98 (3)). 
OR

When a prisoner is in one of the situations outlined
in section 98(6)(a) to (i) of the Corrections Act
2004. These are as follows: 
Immediately before the prisoner is locked in a cell to
undergo a penalty of cell confinement imposed under
subpart 5 of Part 2 of the Corrections Act 2004; 
On the return of the prisoner to the prison; 
On the return of the prisoner from work or from a part
of the prison that is not supervised; 
Immediately before the prisoner leaves the prison; 
At any time while the prisoner is being transferred to
another prison; 
At any time while the prisoner is outside the prison
in the control of an officer; 
Immediately before the prisoner is brought before: 
a Visiting Justice for the purposes of any hearing or
examination under subpart 5 of Part 2 of the
Corrections Act 2004 or any appeal under subpart 5 of
Part 2 of the Act. 
A hearing adjudicator for the purposes of any hearing
or examination under subpart 5 of Part 2 of the
Corrections Act 2004 
any tribunal or court 
Immediately before any person visits the prisoner; 
Immediately after any person has visited the prisoner.

 
Watch Point

Whether the strip search is conducted in the
“reasonable grounds” situation (section 98(3)) or in
one of the situations listed in section 98(6) (a) to
(i), the strip search must be for the purpose of
detecting any unauthorised item, and must be conducted
only if a strip search, rather than a scanner search
or a rub-down search, is necessary in the
circumstances for detecting any such unauthorised
item.

This means that no prison can have a ‘blanket policy’
that all prisoners must be strip searched in a
situation where staff have the authority to strip
search. Rather, there must be allowances for
exceptions based on the particular circumstances of an
individual case.

Example:

The reason for conducting strip searches after visits
is for the purpose of detecting any unauthorised item.
In general, we know, based on experience, that in this
situation unauthorised items are unlikely to be able
to be detected by either a scanner or a rubdown
search.

However, this does not mean that a prison can have any
‘blanket policy’ along the lines that all prisoners
will be strip searched after all visits - there must
be allowance for exceptions based on the particular
circumstances. For example:

Where a prisoner has had a booth visit it would be
difficult to say that a strip search was for the
purpose of detecting an unauthorised item or a strip
search, rather than a scanner search or a rub-down
search was necessary in those circumstances (unless
there was some other reason to believe that an
unauthorised item might have been passed to the
prisoner during the visit, e.g. some action observed
by an officer or if damage to the booth was found
following the visit).

Strip search prior to providing a urine sample

A prisoner who is required to submit to a prescribed
procedure for the purpose of detecting the use of
drugs or consumption of alcohol may, immediately
before the prisoner supplies a sample in accordance
with that procedure, be required to undergo a strip
search, but only if:

The nature of the prescribed procedure is such that
there is a risk that the prisoner may tamper with the
sample; and 
A strip search is necessary to ensure that such
tampering does not occur. 
Strip Search (section 90 of the Corrections Act 2004)

A strip search means a search where the person
conducting the search may require the person being
searched to remove, raise, lower, or open all or any
of the latter person’s clothing.

For the purpose of facilitating a strip search, the
person being searched may be required to do all or any
of the following: 
Open his or her mouth, 
Display the palms of his or her hands, 
Display the soles of his or her feet, 
Lift or rub his or her hair, 
Raise his or her arms to expose his or her armpits 
With his or her legs spread apart, bend his or her
knees. 
The person conducting the search may conduct a visual
examination and may use an illuminating or magnifying
instrument (including a hand-held mirror) to inspect
the mouth, nose, and ears, but may not insert any
instrument, device, or thing into any such orifice. No
other body cavities may be searched. 
If (and only if) the strip search is being conducted
on the grounds set out in section 98 (3) (a) i.e.
because an officer has reasonable grounds for
believing that a prisoner has an unauthorised item in
his or her possession the person conducting the search
may also: 
(In addition to the things in 1 above) require the
person being searched to bend his or her knees, with
his or her legs spread apart, until his or her
buttocks are adjacent to his or her heels. 
(In addition to 2 above), conduct a visual examination
and use an illuminating or magnifying instrument (i.e.
a torch or a hand-held mirror with a handle) to
inspect the anal and genital areas, but must not
insert any instrument, device or thing into any
orifice. 

Watch Points

It is important to note that a decision as to whether
or not to require / do either or both of these things,
should take into account whether or not it is
necessary to search for a suspected unauthorised item
in the anal and genital areas. For example, where the
reasonable grounds to believe the prisoner has an
unauthorised item in his/her possession is information
received or an eye-witness account of the prisoner
having recently put an unauthorised item in his/her
mouth, and he/she has had no opportunity to transfer
it to the anal or genital area, then it may be
difficult for staff to justify requiring / doing
either or both of the two things outlined in the
bullet points immediately above.

Whenever a searching officer is conducting a visual
examination of the anal and genital areas (whether or
not using an illuminating or magnifying instrument)
during a “reasonable grounds” strip search, he/she
must be particularly mindful of the requirement to
conduct the search with decency and sensitivity, and
in a manner that preserves the dignity and privacy of
the prisoner being searched.

Hand-held mirrors (magnifying or otherwise) on handles
should be used when carrying out these “reasonable
grounds” searches. No mirrors are to be installed
permanently on the floor in areas where strip searches
are conducted, due to the risk of their being used for
searches other than “reasonable grounds” searches.

Strip search conditions

Strip searches must comply with the following
conditions:

A strip search is carried out by a person of the same
sex as the person being searched. 
A second officer, who may be another officer or a
member of the police, must be present as the
witnessing officer. 
The searching officer should be visible to the witness
at all times. 
A strip search shall not be carried out in the view of
any person of the opposite sex. 
A strip search shall not be carried out in view of
another prisoner. 

Conducting a strip search

As each article of clothing is removed, lowered,
raised or opened by the person being searched, it is
checked to identify whether or not it conceals an
unauthorised item and may be searched. 
The person being searched is not put in a position
where more than half of their body is naked unless
good reason justifies otherwise. 
As each article of clothing is removed, and when an
area is unclothed, a visual scan is undertaken to
identify whether or not there are unauthorised
articles. 
Any item carried by, or in the possession of, the
prisoner may be searched. 
Reporting and recording - "Reasonable grounds" strip
searches 

Where the search is authorised under Section 98(3)(a)
of the Corrections Act 2004 (reasonable grounds for
believing the prisoner possesses an unauthorised
item), the following information must be recorded in
the IOMS "Search Person" report:

the reason(s) for the search 
the name of the prisoner 
the names of the officers conducting the search 
the date and time of the strip search 
any unusual circumstances, and 
the result of the search 
This information must be recorded as soon as
practicable, certified by both officers, and reported
to the Prison Manager.

An incident report must also be completed on IOMS.  In
addition to the information above, this incident
report must also include confirmation that approval to
conduct the “reasonable grounds” strip search was
obtained from the Prison Manager (or delegated manager
in accordance with the Prison Manager Delegations
Framework).
