‘Non-Crime Hate’
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
I bet you have never heard of a non-crime hate incident.
So far as I know, this is an exclusively British perversion.
Someone can denounce you for just thinking you said something rude about our usual pets.
Something entirely legal, by the way.
And the police will come around and give you a stern warning.
You can be written up and filed away as the perp of a non-crime hate incident.
And you have no recourse, no appeal.
This is supposed to keep real hate speech under control, but all it does is punish Brits who step out of line.
Even children can be written up for non-crime hate.
His Majesty's Government has an 11,000-word webpage explaining non-crime hate incidents, updated just last June, that explains how this all works.
This sentence sets the tone.
Freedom of expression is a qualified right.
Which means that it can be restricted for certain purposes to the extent necessary in a democratic society.
You can get yourself written up if you do anything that is perceived by a person other than the subject, that's you, to be motivated wholly or partly by hostility or prejudice towards persons with a particular characteristic.
Hostility can be nothing more than dislike or unfriendliness.
And the characteristics are the standard stuff:
race, religion, sex orientation, disability,
An officer can get creative.
He can write up any kind of dislike or unfriendliness if he deems it necessary to record an incident involving a different characteristic that is not covered by hate crime legislation.
And officers have.
The alleged victim Or anyone else can rat you out.
It can be something you said or did or just a tweet.
If and only if the investigating officer determines there was no dislike or unfriendliness, then he needn't write up the incident.
If he thinks you are a nasty character who might do it again, at his discretion, he can put you into a database.
If you apply for certain jobs, such as teaching, child care, medicine, social work, A potential employer could find you out and decide not to hire you for something that's not a crime.
There is no provision in the law to punish or even reprimand people who call in fake or ridiculous incidents.
And many are ridiculous.
Dirty pants on washing line recorded as non-crime hate incident by police.
Someone in North Wales complained that her neighbor hung a very large, soiled pair of underpants on their washing line and left it there for two months.
She said it was because she has an Italian name.
The same article mentions a complaint against a man who refused to shake hands with someone he thought was a transsexual.
A Russian-speaking man claimed that a barber gave him an aggressive haircut after they talked about the war in Ukraine.
A nine-year-old girl was written up for calling a classmate a retard, and two secondary school girls got the treatment for saying that another pupil smelled like fish.
As I said, police can be creative.
This article says that a vicar got a visit from the police because a homosexual was alarmed and distressed when the vicar said homosexuality is a sin.
People get a knock on the door for misgendering someone.
The manager of a pub got a write-up because he kicked out customers who were having sex in the restroom.
The complaint claimed it was only because one of the fraudikers was transsexual.
I guess nobody cares if normal people copulate in pubs.
The Home Office is supposed to have issued common-sense rules to cut back on the foolishness so that write-ups are reserved for incidents clearly motivated by intentional hostility.
Where there is a real risk of escalation causing significant harm or a criminal offense.
All of this is utterly subjective.
A lot of people think the whole business should be scrapped.
The Times of London, not exactly a hot-headed journal, is running a poll that asks should police stop investigating non-crime hate incidents.
When I looked, 90% of people said yes, and only 8% said no.
The current labor government, of course, is siding with the 8%.
The Home Office says logging this stuff helps the police to build an intelligence picture around community tensions in order to map trends and prevent escalation.
You never know when misgendering could escalate into murder.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper says tracking these incidents can be a crucial tool to enable police and other authorities to track and warn of rising abuse against Jewish and
Well, I guess that settles it.
You know what?
I bet every protected category says exactly the same thing.
The whole idea of the police investigating non-crime is absurd.
The only consequence is that people get the word, button your lip, don't upset Britain's special people.
Last year, police logged more than 13,000 cases of non-crime hate.
Each took an estimated five hours of police time, and that works out to about 60,000 cop hours.
Britain must be wonderfully crime-free to be able to send police out to dress people down if they won't shake hands.
Well, let's see.
Here is a graph of violent crimes in Britain over the last 20 years.
There's been a slight dip the last two years, but there is still well over twice as much violent crime as there was 10 years ago.
What's more, three in four burglaries unsolved in England and Wales last year.
That was 200,000 unsolved break-ins, and a suspect was charged in only 6% of cases.
So far, all I've talked about is non-crime hate.
Maybe I'll make another video about, sure enough, criminal hate.
Apparently, there's plenty of that too.
Malicious communication, and that can be just a tweet, can get you two years in the pokey and a fine for whatever the judge thinks he can squeeze out of you.
You can spend seven years in the pokey for inciting racial hate, and you don't have to do a thing, just say things.
These are sad times for a country that used to believe in personal liberty.
Britain is a perfect example of what the great Sam Francis called anarcho-tyranny.
Francis died in 2005.
And for those of you who did not know him, Wikipedia helpfully explains that he was an American white supremacist writer.
Just what Wikipedia says about me.
We get anarcho-tyranny when police can't or won't control real crime.
That's the anarchy.
Instead, police go after law-abiding people like you and me for non-crime hate incidents, malicious communication, praying in school.
Smoking in the wrong place, jaywalking, owning the wrong pistol magazine, not wearing a bicycle helmet, etc., etc.
That's the tyranny.
These are sad times for our country, too.
And Francis saw it coming 30 years ago.
You'll find videos, podcasts, articles, a lot of things I feel sure will interest you.
