So the police failed to mention the why, for this arrest, just that they were in possession of a lot of candy and the replies are really making them pay for their mistake

???candy
I prefer it over sweets
This is disgraceful behaviour by the police. Because an autistic girl said to her mother, in her house, that the police woman looks like a lesbian like her nana, this police woman went over the top demanding an arrest.

Is it illegal to say to someone they look like a lesbian? Genuine question.

Looked into it a bit more. Yeah there is no way this was a crime. It would be like someone saying to me I look like a Scotsman when I walked down the street wearing a kilt.
"Comments were made which resulted in the girl being arrested on suspicion of a homophobic public order offence."
Arresting a child for engaging in a ‘public order offence’ within her home by likening an officer's appearance to a lesbian, similar to her grandmother. This incident raises serious concerns about the quality of policing

. Top-down organisational changes needed and compensation owed to the family.
The 16-year-old, who also suffers from scoliosis, had been driven to her home in Leeds, West Yorkshire, by officers after midnight when she allegedly made the comment.
In response, West Yorkshire Police said a relative of the girl had earlier called to say she was intoxicated in Leeds city centre.

I don't get how what was said is an insult. The line wasn't even said to the female officer.
The officer overheard a conversation in a private residence.
I've heard that line from the police so many times. You do realise that the law is public right? It's not hidden away in law offices, anyone can read it:In your capacity as what? Are you some type of lawyer or something?
(1)A person who uses threatening words or behaviour, or displays any written material which is threatening, is guilty of an offence if he intends thereby to stir up religious hatred [or hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation].
(2)An offence under this section may be committed in a public or a private place, except that no offence is committed where the words or behaviour are used, or the written material is displayed, by a person inside a dwelling and are not heard or seen except by other persons in that or another dwelling.
She wasn't arrested for intoxication though. If she was committing criminal acts and the police wanted to arrest her for that, then that's what they should do. They should not be arresting someone because they are such **********, that they can't help being visually compared to someone who happens to be a lesbian.It might not have been the first incident of the night. They had just driven her home while she was intoxicated.
