The police said that the content and appearance of the stickers "Woman = adult human female" and "Women don't have penises"
was "not suitable for sharing."

So the truth is not suitable for the delicate eyes of the public.

TRAs are apparently removing the labels and replacing them with "Non binary finery" and "trans women are women".

Meanwhile back in the real world where women are murdered and assaulted.....

The police don't help their cause by making themselves a laughing stock.

"If it was a racist sticker then I think it would be classified as a hate crime."

So, how would that work?

"Black: any human group having dark-coloured skin"

A hate crime?

Good on them. They can't do their jobs at the best of times, they have no real chance of policing language.
