Dear T/Commander Blackburn @CityPoliceCB We note you used the pejorative term ‘trolls’ in relation to women during a recent conference.
We have written to @LGBTpoliceuk asking for details of all senior officers within that organisation pending legal action.
The dehumanising of a class protected by virtue of sex is a recognised precursor to violence. We note an officer of @metpoliceuk is currently under arrest for indecent exposure, kidnap and murder. Do you see the link?
The @CollegeofPolice claims that antilocution (shit talking) is step 1 of 5 on a journey to genocide. Why do you consider that calling women ‘trolls’ does not count especially given that 2 women a week are unlawfully killed?
Please report yourself for a Non Crime Hate Incident whilst you still have time. @threadreaderapp unroll

JC: on the question of retention periods, some evidence before court below.
{WHY ISNT THIS CLEAR AND CONSISTENT?}
Answer seems to be 'it depends' on local policies and how applies? Suggestion is 6 years.
JC Returning to submissions about implications for individual about categorisation of complaint about hate. Para 177 of Knowles J judgment, he accepted submission that while overall information is important to policing, the 'mere recording' has no real consequence.
Its been 2 years since Harry’s thinking was first checked by PC Gul - described by Mr Justice Knowles at the first hearing as behaviour akin to the Cheka, the Stasi and the Gestapo.
In that time over 120k ‘non crime hate incidents’ have been recorded. The police claim this is ‘essential’ to prevent our ‘escalation’ into criminality - but when asked, not a single force could tell us what they did with this data, other than disclose it to potential employers.
TOMORROW. The Court of Appeal will examine the validity of the Hate Crimes Guidance.
Hopefully it will also be aware of the existence of a new movement #superstraight.
This is a declared sexual orientation now with its own flag. And subject to threats and hatred.
Remember. The police MUST record ALL reports about hatred towards sexual orientation, simply because anyone believes someone has experienced hate because of it.
They state there must be ‘categorical’ evidence of malice before they would refuse.
We and others continue to point out the absurdity of perception based reporting of ‘hate incidents’. Not a single police force could tell us what they did with their ‘hate incident’ data and how they used it to prevent escalation.
