00:00Now, we are talking about that story again, about hate speech on social media or non-crime hate speech.
00:06A retired special constable was arrested and detained over a social media post warning about the threat of anti-Semitism in Britain.
00:14After the arrest, officers examined the 71-year-old's collection of books by authors like, brace yourself, Douglas Murray,
00:21along with copies of the, oh my God, shock, The Spectator, referring to them as containing very Brexity things.
00:28Not a crime, by the way. The incident took place in November 2023, which was just after, obviously, October 7 horrors in Israel.
00:38This week, Kemp Police admitted the caution was a mistake and deleted it from the accused's record.
00:45Joining me now is former police officer Harry Miller.
00:49Harry, you must be absolutely just, I mean, tearing your hair out of this.
00:56It's just, where are we going with this?
00:58Yeah, I've no idea, because the police simply take no notice.
01:03We've had ruling after ruling. We've had guidance after guidance.
01:06We've had Home Secretaries repeatedly telling the police to get back in line, and they simply don't do it.
01:12Look, when I watched the video of the police entering that house yesterday,
01:16all that was missing were ski masks and the breaking of a window as they accessed, you know,
01:21as they accessed through a rear window.
01:24By any other measure, this was burglary.
01:27The police should not have been in the house.
01:30They shouldn't have been going through the person's drawers.
01:33They shouldn't have been looking at his wife's shopping list.
01:36They shouldn't have been checking on his books.
01:38All of this is absolutely un-British.
01:41It's also entirely unlawful.
01:44And I very much fear that somebody, as a result of one of these unlawful police bullying actions,
01:51I believe that somebody's going to take their life.
01:53I believe that somebody's going to have a mental breakdown, because this is simply not funny.
01:59And the police seem to think that they can do it without any form of comeback at all.
02:03What they've said after this is, we will treat, we're sorry, we'll treat this as a learning experience.
02:08Well, they don't learn.
02:10They don't treat this as a learning experience.
02:12They've never done so.
02:13They simply stubbornly refuse to change their ways.
02:17They've become the thought police.
02:19They've become the bookshelf police.
02:21It can only be a matter of time before we find ourselves with a house that is surrounded.
02:26And through that loud hailer comes the words,
02:29throw out your Douglas Murray books and then step out with your hands up.
02:33It can only be a matter of time, because this is the way that policing is going.
02:38And it's been going this way for a long time.
02:41And nobody seems to know where the handbrake is.
02:44Nobody seems to know how to stop it.
02:47I mean, Harry, obviously, I mean, you know, the ordinary coppers,
02:49the men and women are actually on the front line, on the beat.
02:51They are following orders.
02:53So they would be, you know, taking orders from their superiors.
02:56So are we saying that it's the people at the top of the police force?
03:00Or is this coming from politicians?
03:01Well, it's quite interesting, because Tim Smith, the chief constable of Kent,
03:06only last year, he told politicians to keep out of policing.
03:10Well, you know, in many respects, that's a good thing.
03:13We don't want politicians in policing.
03:15But when the police behave like this, who's going to get involved and put a stop to it?
03:20That's the problem.
03:21It's coming from the College of Policing.
03:22It's coming from the chief constable.
03:24It's coming from police and crimes commissioners who haven't got any balls and refuse to sack their chief officers.
03:31And we simply allow it to happen because they know they're on the wrong side of the law.
03:35Well, they see themselves as being on the right side of history.
03:38And it's that which gives them the moral fortitude to carry on doing these absolutely corrupt home invasions.
03:45Because this is what this is.
03:47This was a home invasion with violence.
03:50When you arrest somebody and put handcuffs on them, that is violence.
03:54If it was me, what I would be doing, I would be arresting those police officers for burglary.
03:59Because they entered as trespassers and they committed an assault on the homeowner.
04:03I would be arresting them.
04:05I would make sure every single one is thrown out of uniform and not allowed back in again.
04:09Because it cannot keep going on.
04:10And we can't keep saying sorry.
04:12Sorry.
