Sounds useful to meThe police response to an ex-officer's allegedly transphobic tweets was unlawful, the High Court has ruled.
Harry Miller, from Lincolnshire, was visited by Humberside Police at work in January last year after a complaint about his tweets.
He was told he had not committed a crime, but it would be recorded as a non-crime "hate incident".
The court found the force's actions were a "disproportionate interference" on his right to freedom of expression. (LINK)
