Not satisfied with crushing free speech for adults; UK law enforcement is now targeting our children

The concept of a “non-crime hate” incidence in the UK began in 2014.  It has always been chilling in its ambiguity and scope. 

People who perceive themselves to be victims do not have to justify or provide evidence of their belief that someone else is guilty of “non-crime hate.”  Police officers or staff are not permitted to directly challenge the so-called victim’s perception and evidence of the hostility is not required.

“That guarantees the maximal level of investigation and documentation of speech incidents. The chilling effect on free speech is glacial,” Jonathan Turley writes.

And now these Orwellian rules which violate our rights are being used on children in playgrounds.  “The impact on both parents and children will obviously be immense,” Turley says.  “It adds a coercive element to speech laws.”

A nine-year-old child is among the youngsters being probed by police over hate incidents … Officers recorded incidents against the child, who called a fellow primary school pupil a “retard,” and against two schoolgirls who said another student smelled “like fish.” The youngsters were among multiple cases of children being recorded as having committed non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs), The Times discovered through freedom of information requests to police forces.
