flag UK police recommend ending recording of minor hate incidents to focus on serious crime and protect free speech.

flag UK police leaders are recommending the elimination of the "non-crime hate incidents" category, calling it outdated and ineffective, especially in the digital age. flag The proposed change would stop logging minor prejudice-driven incidents like social media posts, instead treating them as intelligence reports. flag Only the most serious cases would be recorded as anti-social behavior. flag The move, driven by concerns over resource misuse, free speech, and high-profile cases like that of Father Ted creator Graham Linehan, aims to focus policing on serious crime and restore public trust. flag The new approach is set to be presented to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood.
