The search of an indigenous teenager who was removed from a bus at gunpoint, may have been illegal. 

The Commonwealth Ombudsman has found that racial bias may have been involved in the arrest of a 17-year-old boy in Canberra last year. Australian federal police officers had their guns drawn when they arrested him in November. 

The officers quickly learned they had the wrong person, but continued to search him anyway.
