The High Court has ruled that the police unlawfully interfered with Harry Miller.
A Humberside Police ‘community cohesion’ officer came to his house and warned him to ‘check his thinking’ because he had committed a ‘non-crime hate incident’.
A non-crime, hate incident.
The definition of a hate incident doesn’t require any evidence.

Reminds me of that guy in sumskilz’s sig.A hate incident is any incident which the victim, or anyone else, thinks is based on someone’s prejudice towards them because of their race, religion, sexual orientation, disability or because they are transgender. Not all hate incidents will amount to criminal offences, but it is equally important that these are reported and recorded by the police.
Evidence of the hate element is not a requirement. You do not need to personally perceive the incident to be hate related. It would be enough if another person, a witness or even a police officer thought that the incident was hate related.
The police have no business interfering with my private life when I’ve comitted no crime. Humberside Police have behaved in a way that favours certain political interest groups such as Stonewall UK, and intimidates law-abiding citizens because they dislike their political opinions. This isn’t impartial policing.
No matter how much they dress it up rainbows and language like ‘community cohesion’, this kind of policing is wrong, and police services up and down the country should be reviewing their conduct."The effect of the police turning up at his place of work because of his political opinions must not be underestimated,” Mr Justice Knowles wrote in his final judgment. "To do so would be to undervalue a cardinal democratic freedom. In this country we have never had a Cheka, a Gestapo or a Stasi. We have never lived in an Orwellian society."

Edit: A woman had to appear in court today facing jail time after being arrested in front of her children for calling someone a pig in a wig on Twitter, so there’s stil a long way to go for free speech. https://metro.co.uk/2020/02/14/mum-s...tter-12241097/
