Police are keeping non-crime hate incidents because "it's easy policing", a critic has claimed on GB News.
Harry Miller, a former police officer who works with free speech campaign group Fair Cop, said officers don't need evidence or court proceedings to record these incidents.
"You don't need any evidence, you don't need to go to court, you just need to look at someone and say, 'they're hateful' and slap a non-crime hate incident on them without any due process whatsoever," he told GB News. He compared the practice to "stamping your forehead with a big 'H' for heretic", arguing it targets those who say things "the establishment does not like".
Miller described the system as "lazy, political policing" that "the Stasi would absolutely enjoy". His comments come as a new Policy Exchange think tank report revealed police officers spend around 60,000 hours annually investigating some 13,000 non-crime hate incidents.
