1. Police excel at recording themselves as victims of hate but give themselves a pass when the boot’s on the other foot. ‘We investigated ourselves and our motives were found to be pure’ says @leicspolice in relation to its riot shield investigation. 
2. Despite notching up 120,000 NCHIs against individual members of the public for saying stuff like ‘My cat is a Methodist’ or whistling Bob The Builder, @leicspolice have decided the rules do not apply to them.
3. That’s odd. Because @CollegeofPolice guidance insists that the police do NOT check for motive and must believe the perception of the victim. Hence @HarryTheOwl101 and @SVPhillimore both have NCHIs attached to their names for 6 years, with no possibility of appeal.
4. At The Court of Appeal in March, the QC for the police argued that an NCHI recorded against an individual should restrict their ability to gain employment. By becoming a police officer, for example.
5. Convenient, then, that @leicspolice have circumvented this restriction by NOT following the rules which they so readily apply to the rest of us. Another word beginning with C is Corruption.
6. One last thing: @leicspolice do not take any notice of responses to their Twitter feed because the public tends to express the wrong opinion. @threadreaderapp unroll.
