“With an act designated as ‘non-crime,’ you might reasonably expect the role for law enforcement to be quite limited. No crime means no cops … right? For years, though, the United Kingdom has allowed a system of police intervention and record-keeping over ‘non-crime hate incidents’ — including legal speech — to flourish. But new Home Office guidance intends to ‘prevent police from recording lawful free speech.’ Will this signal a new step forward for the UK? It’s complicated.” (04/02/26)
