Transphobia: Victoria Police Officer Stood Down Over Leaked Photos of Arrested Coach Dean Laidley

“Victorians should feel confident that their privacy will be protected by Victoria Police when they interact with police. The release of the photos, which include a mug shot and photographs of sensitive Victoria Police records, is a serious violation of Laidley’s human rights, and will likely impact public confidence in Victoria Police’s approach to privacy,” said Liberty Victoria, one of Australia’s leading and longest-standing civil liberties organisations, in a media statement.
