Tory MSP writes to Police Scotland chief over ‘non-crime hate incident’ row
Murdo Fraser said the force had ‘serious questions’ to answer
We might be living in topsy-turvy world when Murdo Fraser has a point. Honestly, the whole idea of the police keeping "hate" notes on you when you haven't committed a crime is pretty dystopian.
You're viewing a single thread.
Murdo is just being a reactionary prick, which plays well to his base, which wants to stir up hatred against certain groups, for example, catholics or trans people.
NCHI recording is necessary for statistical purposes, as well as for identifying clusters of hate incidents so that resources can be allocated.
Personal data is not attached to NCHIs unless the instance poses the risk of significant harm to an individual or group.
