The Scottish Police Federation has declared that of the more than 8000 reports they have received under the new ‘hate crime’ law, less than one percent are leading to investigations.
General Secretary David Kennedy told The Sunday Times that “The number of complaints that translated into actual hate crime investigations is extremely small,” saying it constitutes under one percent.
The volume of hate reports that have been made in just one week is equivalent to one grievance every minute, according to the Times.
As we previously highlighted, it seems most are just activists trying to weaponise the legislation against people whose opinions they do not agree with.
Kennedy last week commented that the excess costs are already piling up as police try to deal with the influx of reports.
“Although there are lots of complaints coming in, a tiny percentage of that are turning into actual investigations. It will all be done within the control room, the control room will be paying extra overtime and using officers from the control room area to do it,” Kennedy stated.
He further noted that the new law is “a disaster and officers are swamped under a deluge of complaints, adding that staff will be spending their time “weeding through” the reports to see if any constitute real crimes.
“It will be officers sitting and reading through whatever has been sent in to make sure that there is not any hate crime and that there is not any other crime being reported,” he noted.
Kennedy urged that his department hasn’t been provided any new staff and that it will take “weeks or months” to review all the reports.
“It’s going to cost hundreds of thousands of pounds and we don’t have any officers so I don’t care what anybody says there is a detrimental impact on other parts of the force,” he urged.
In addition, The chairman of the Scottish Police Federation, David Threadgold, has warned “At some point in the next financial year, the police service will not do something because of the demand that it’s being placed under now. That will have an impact later on in the year – there’s no doubt about it.”
As we have highlighted, under the new legislation, anyone deemed to have been verbally ‘abusive’, in person or online, to a transgender person, including “insulting” them could be hit with a prison sentence of up to seven years.

Bury the cops in paperwork. Make them squeal like pigs (not in the Deliverance sense). Make the system unworkable.
It’s not the cops that need burying, it’s the lunatic Left wing MPs who have enacted the legislation that nobody wanted or asked for (except a tiny minority of sick, perverted extremists).
