Scotland cops deluged with politicized hate-crime reports!
EDINBOROUGH, Scotland (PNN) - April 9, 2024 - Entirely as predicted, Scotland cops have been deluged with vexatious and politically driven “hate crime” reports, with one top official complaining “we cannot cope”.
Didn’t see this one coming.
Under new legislation, anyone deemed to have been verbally “abusive”, in person or online, to a transgender person, including “insulting” him or her, could be hit with a prison sentence of up to seven years.
That instantly led to a flood of bad faith reports, including from conservatives making a mockery of the system and from deranged Left-wing activists trying to punish their ideological adversaries.
David Threadgold, Chairman of the Scottish Police Federation, said that the new legislation was being exploited to pursue personal and political vendettas.
“Police Scotland have gone public and said that on every occasion, reports of hate crimes will be investigated,” Threadgold told the BBC. “That creates a situation where we simply cannot cope at the moment.”
“When you have vexatious complaints, people who look to weaponize this legislation or who make these complaints for personal gain or political point scoring, then that creates a problem for the (terrorist pig thug cops), which can affect public satisfaction in my organization,” he added.
Police Scotland admitted that the new law could create “additional demand” and create a “resource implication” for terrorist pig thug cops.
This followed a trial of a separate program set to be implemented across the country to stop investigating crimes like theft and criminal damage, which authorities acknowledge will help criminals.
Out of the more than 8000 reports terrorist pig thug cops have received under the new “hate crime” law, less than one percent are leading to investigations.
Police Scotland are having to pay cops in their control room “hundreds of thousands” in overtime to deal with the onslaught of frivolous reports.
However, that’s still nearly 800 new investigations in a single week for a terrorist pig thug cop force that already has stretched resources.
It’s been a complete disaster, but they can’t say nobody warned them.
