Have You Ever Been Involved In A 'hate Incident' ?

[ludwig]

You possibly could have been (according to the police) depending on what opinions you may have expressed on this site and elsewhere.

Thoughts?

No. I love everybody.

[emmie]

i make no remarks, i think, that would inflame others to report me to the police, either on here or outside.

[ludwig]

// No. I love everybody. //

That doesn't seem to matter barry. It appears that if anybody 'perceives' that you don't love them then you don't.

What absolute tosh, if he hasn't committed a crime, then no records should be kept. Complete bullocks.

[fender62]

all a waste of police time and money, debate discourse has been shut down, opinions carefully examined for any hint of phobic ists isms.

[Canary42]

The judge, quite rightly, rejected it.

Bravo Mr Miller for taking them to court.
And winning.

This case show the problems we have today with the Police Farce. No time or money for basic duties but plenty (900) officers available to peruse ludicrous charges and accusations.

Have You Ever Been Involved In A 'hate Incident' ? - Yes I have. Once near Brick lane and once in Brixton.

[retrocop]

Lol. Many times. Goes with the job in certain areas.

"The[College of Policing] guidelines define a hate incident as "any non-crime incident which is perceived, by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by a hostility or prejudice against a person who is transgender or perceived to be transgender"."

Am I the only one that finds this chilling?

Somebody saying 'I don't believe a man can turn into a woman' can be reported by anybody to the police as a hate crime. That is just bananas.

By the way, if an incident is 'non-crime', what the hell does it have to do with plod?

[sevenOP]

His tweets have not been disclosed so no-one knows if they were crimes or not.

[youngmafbog]

Yes they have - they are in the DM.

[sevenOP]

"Yes they have - they are in the DM."

By 'they' do you mean the 2 out of 30 ?

These TWO :

Inconclusive.

[Spicerack]

No surprise that 7op is on the side of the fascists.

I suppose it gives the police something to do now they've cleared up all the other types of crime.

[sevenOP]

Afternoon Spicerack.

@echo on again I see.

[sevenOP]

Shocking ambiguity.

"The police and Crown Prosecution Service have agreed a common definition of hate incidents.

They say something is a hate incident if the victim or anyone else think it was motivated by hostility or prejudice based on one of the following things:
disability race religion transgender identity sexual orientation."

police time wasted.. feel insulted, get a life...meanwhile in the real world, knife deaths, jihadists, drug gangs...etc, BUT NO.. he said i was fat...right send the flying squad, double shifts looking perpetrator.

[Deskdiary]

^^^you joke, but I do wonder if 'fatism' will become a protected characteristic under the Equality Act at some point.

As it is the word 'fat' is frowned upon now, so I wonder what the 'correct' description will be going forwards. Well upholstered?

I occasionally have my posts removed on this site by the thought police – perhaps I should be expecting a knock at the door from inspector knacker.
