Hannah Laing allegations against Munich police spark scrutiny

Hannah Laing is a Scottish DJ and producer from Dundee. At the Isle of Summer festival in Munich-Riem, an incident involving Laing and her cousin prompted public attention. Hannah Laing allegations against Munich police were raised after Laing and her cousin used the same toilet cubicle because of long waiting times and were stopped by four plainclothes police officers who took them to a tent for personal checks.

The officers suspected they had consumed drugs, and Laing reports that during the search one officer held her hands while another conducted an invasive search over her body, including inside her underwear. Laing says nothing was found and that she was not clearly informed beforehand about how extensive the search would be. Police are reported to have justified the measure by referring to a sign prohibiting the shared toilet cubicle, and Laing says she did not understand German and was unaware of the rule.

At the time of the report, Isle of Summer and the responsible police authority had not commented, and Laing received support from Marlon Hoffstadt, Amelie Lens, Mariana Bo, Somewhen and Marie Vaunt; the festival reportedly took very good care of her and was shocked by the incident.
