REQUEST

 Miller v The College of Policing [2021] EWCA Civ 1926

"117.  ...The net for non-crime hate speech is an exceptionally wide one ...There is no provision for proportionality to be applied to recording.  And the Guidance says nothing about the language to be used in any such record, or whether someone should be notified that a record, flagged as a hate incident has been made of a complaint against them, leaving such issues to individual forces to decide."
