Harry Miller, a gender-critical former police officer, has lodged a judicial review against the Home Office in an effort to change the way hate crimes are recorded.
The free speech campaigner and founder of Fair Cop—an organisation that aims to take politics out of policing — was questioned by Lincolnshire Police after celebrating the dismissal of a transgender activist and former police constable, Lyndsay Watson.
Over a period of 18 months, Mr Miller was subjected to a targeted and sustained campaign by Lyndsay Watson, who sent him more than 1,200 messages calling him a “Nazi”, “bigot”, and “wife beater” (among other things). In October 2023, Watson was sacked for gross misconduct by Leicestershire Police.
Miller celebrated Watson’s dismissal in a series of social media posts and in a magazine article. All was well until Lincolnshire Police contacted Mr Miller to inform him that he was being investigated for an alleged hate crime. One of the alleged offences was that he had referred to Watson using the wrong pronouns in his article.
No further action was taken against Mr Miller after he was questioned under caution; however, a year later he discovered — via a subject access request — that a hate crime had been recorded against him.
