Wall Street Protests

So back to the dressing as a tent to mock the cops bit.

Melbourne city council decided to make it illegal to wear a tent in a public park.
They sent in the cops.
Story with video here http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-12-0...tester/3715344

Instead of arresting the tentee, they stripped the tent off her. Leaving her in her undies in a public park.

(1) It is highly implausible that any Australian government could make a law regulating what you wear, even more so for a city council. I assume lawyers are circling already. Can anyone say "unconstitutional"?
(2) People who break the law are supposed to be arrested, not stripped. WTF?
