Vic: Police get extra search powers
A crackdown on drunkenness and violence will continue in Victoria .. with new laws
which include extra powers for police to strip-search people for weapons.
Police can also issue 234-dollar on-the-spot fines for people who refuse to leave pubs
and clubs when asked.
The new laws come after the nationally coordinated Operation Unite police crackdown
on alcohol-related violence across Australia and New Zealand.
