There is an excellent interview with Harry Miller in the Telegraph. He talks about how the police are operating on behalf of a political lobby group and how the recording of non crime incidents has accelerated. The Telegraph cites that these have been used against 120,000 people. It is fantastic to see this getting such prominent media coverage. This is a threat to freedom of speech, it is intended to stifle debate and Harry Miller has catapulted these issues to the front page. Great stuff.
^“As a former officer, I have a sense of what the law is and for the life of me I could not see what law I was breaking - and more to the point, neither could the police,” Mr Miller told The Telegraph. “They just had this vague idea that if you continue doing what you are doing then you will become a criminal. I asked how, and they couldn’t tell me.
“That’s not how the law works. We have to know where the line in the sand is and if the police don’t know where that line is, then don’t turn up at my workplace, don’t ring me up, don’t start using coercive control and tell me to ‘check my thinking’ - because that is not the job of the police.”^
