Baird Inquiry: How Greater Manchester Police acted unlawfully
The Baird Inquiry was set up to look into the treatment of people in the custody of Greater Manchester Police, following a Sky News investigation by our home affairs editor Jason Farrell.
Dame Vera Baird, a former victim's commissioner, examined 15 cases and found GMP were guilty of unlawful arrests, demeaning strip searches and exercising powers they do not have.
Niall Paterson is joined by Jason to hear more of the stories of people mistreated by GMP and to look at Dame Vera's findings.
Plus, Niall speaks to Maggie Oliver, a former GMP detective constable who campaigns for greater accountability from the police.
