Show Notes
UK police are abandoning non-crime hate incidents, focusing on real crimes like street violence. The change comes after a review found the old system was flawed. Forces will now use a triage system to prioritize threats to safety or property. This move is welcomed by those like Helen Jones, who was visited by police for online political comments. Campaigners say it ends the chill on free speech. New rules will tighten what counts as an incident and remove them from crime databases. Critics argue its a rebrand, not a full scrap, but free speech groups celebrate. The shift is expected by early next year.
