Accused of non-crime hate incident

Accusation0 Comments

As Pearsons is getting ready to attend a Remembrance Sunday event, two police constables from Essex Police come to her door. The police inform her that she had been accused of a non-crime hate incident (NCHI) related to ‘stirring up hatred’ in a post on X a year before. When she asks which post, the constable says he is not allowed to say. When she asks who made the complaint, she is told she is not allowed to know that either.

Pearson: You can’t give me my accuser’s name?”
Police: It’s not ‘the accuser, they’re called ‘the victim’.

Pearson responds:

Today, we are commemorating hundreds of thousands of British men, most of them roughly the age you two are now, who gave their lives so that we could live in a free country, not under the jackboot of tyranny. And you, YOU come here on this sacred day… You know, those soldiers, they could never have imagined that their country, our country, the country they died for, would ever become a place where the police would turn up at the door of a person who has done nothing wrong…

Pearson accuses the police of wasting time and asks them why it has taken a year to come forward, with no response. One of the constables asks for her phone number and email address in case they needed to call her in for an interview; She gives him her email only.
