Non crime hate incidents scrapped.
About time. What a waste of police resources NCHI claims were. Something that started out as a well intentioned attempt at intelligence gathering to prevent crime was quickly weaponised by some to punish people who disagreed with them, usually via an online spat.
The process was the punishment and having people endure visits from the police, phones and laptops confiscated, and be under the shadow of investigation for months, was used as a way to silence others. It doesn't stop the police investigating death threats etc but hopefully it will put an end to frivolous complaints.
