“can police search my phone in Australia”,

“can police enter my house without permission in QLD”,or

“what can police do during a traffic stop”, you’re not alone.

Police powers vary depending on the situation — and understanding the limits matters.

Can police search your phone?

When can police search you or your property?

What can police do during a traffic stop?
