Dean Laidley mugshot leak a significant breach of privacy, police say

Liberty Victoria's Gemma Cafarella said the leak damaged the public's trust in Victoria Police and further eroded the relationship between police and the transgender and gender non-conforming communities.

"Victorians need to be able to trust police with a whole lot of their personal information in order to allow police to do their job and breaches like this seriously undermines the capacity of Victorians to put that trust in police," Ms Cafarella said.
