Police are to be barred from recording non-crime hate incidents just because someone is offended, under plans announced on Monday by Suella Braverman.
The Home Secretary has endorsed new guidance that requires officers to prioritise freedom of expression over offensive, controversial or derogatory language that upsets people.
Officers will be restricted to recording only incidents that are motivated by intentional hostility and pose a real risk of escalating into significant harm.
It aims to reduce the number of non-crime hate incidents which have seen 120,000 people recorded in the past five years.
......
The new guidance drawn up by the College of Policing follows the case of Harry Miller, a retired policeman who won a free-speech battle after being visited by his local force for tweeting about transgender rights. The Court of Appeal ruled the police action had breached his human rights.
