[quote Sicario]The Judge in Harry The Owl's case against the college of policing was very clear in the judgment he handed down regarding police over-reach, and the danger of "policing" free speech. Professor Stock also gave evidence.
It's a long read, but covers everything that Ceri is talking about.
The police have a LOT to answer for. Still, easier to join in with the bullying and silencing of women than to go out there and catch actual criminals, eh?

Any word btw on Harry Miller's appeal from March 2021 against the College of Policing re the part of the judgement that didn't go in his favour (which I'm obviously hoping he wins on appeal)?
www.judiciary.uk/publications/miller-v-1-the-college-of-policing-2-the-chief-constable-of-humberside-police/
This appeal concerns the lawfulness of provisions of a document entitled Hate Crime Operational Guidance (HCOG) that is published by the Respondent, the College of Policing. Specifically, the appeal concerns the provisions in the HCOG on the recording of so-called non-crime hate incidents. The Appellant is an individual who made a number of posts on Twitter that were recorded as non-crime hate incidents by Humberside Police.
A positive result for Harry would be massively helpful right now.
