West Yorkshire Police

[doctorbarbie]

Does your local police force have a dedicated service staffed by trans people for trans people to report hate crimes?

Probably not. It's interesting that West Yorkshire does.

Also if you could identify an individual or role/section within the organisations and ask only for correspondence between them that would again narrow the request.

I wonder if the West Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner knows what's going on.

Yes, the Commissioner states:

"The Commissioner also notes that the police explained that locating information from 2014 onwards would take minimal effort, in this case, 20 searches".

So a new request, requesting information from 2014 onwards should be successful.

Satire is not a crime

Apparently on twitter it is, witness the banning of Godfrey Elfwick and Titania McGrath (now reinstated). So it looks like it's spreading, no satire, no parody.

What a miserable life to be endlessly looking for offence. If it wasn't becoming so totalitarian I'd feel sorry for these people. When did people lose the ability to laugh.

popchyk funnily enough I’ve just turned that FOI up as well

I think definitely worth persuing it.
