The Independent Police Conduct Authority and the Privacy Commissioner are broadening their investigation into the police practice of photographing innocent youths - to include any member of the public.
The inquiry was launched last year after RNZ alerted police to multiple cases of young Māori being photographed on the street in Wairarapa.
This morning, RNZ revealed this has happened to rangatahi across the country and the photographs are being sent to a national police database.
Te Aniwa Hurihanganui reports.
