No time for shoplifting, burglars and knives.

But have plenty of time to control people’s speech 👍

The police should not be involved in this

[chrispv]

The police should be investigating crime, not non-crime.

[technonarg]

We need to get rid of the college of policing.

[bryto]

They would investigate someone calling you queer but won’t show up when yer house has been robbed!!! This is the country we actually live in

[pollyparrot]

If no crime has been committed why are the police involved at all?

[juanvaldez]

It’s called fascism … say what you want about my beloved America but at least it’s a real country … this .. this, is living on your knees

[philnorton]

The only important part of this expression is “non-crime incident”, just like breathing, it requires no investigation; a complete waste of time time and money.

In which case, I'd like to report that I've been a victim of a hate crime by Kier Starmer! Alongside the majority of British citizens! Because I literally cannot fathom any other reasoning than hate behind his actions!

I'm offended by Lammy calling trump a racist, will the bizzies arrest him?

When they did this in Scotland, the public flooded the police with the most ridiculous complaints about non crime, until they had to throw their hands up and say 'we can't keep this up'.

I’m reading George Orwell’s 1984 at the moment, and it’s scary. The similarities to what is happening today are unbelievably accurate.

[laragara]

Then isn't it a 'civil' matter? In which case the police have no place to involve themselves

[markl]

Why are police investigating non crimes?? Its in the name ffs

[johngreen]

Who is supporting this stuff? You never see them defending there views on talk shows !!

[markgordon]

If it’s not a crime do the police have any power to investigate. Can people not just tell the police to clear off?

[hovercraft-xj]

Well said Andrew, bloody ridiculous!

[Firefly]

Are we not entitled to hate other things or people anymore? As long as we don't commit a crime, then the government (ie the police) need to butt out

[edwardshaw]

Calling some gay is not a crime full stop this country is a total joke

[bballbeasty]

Under Labour, being offended now makes you a victim of a non-crime for which someone can go to Jail. Let that sink in… a NON-CRIME
