POLICE: JUST ENFORCE THE LAW
Fair Cop exists to remind authority of Articles 8, 9, 10 and 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights; to make the public aware of these rights; and to challenge illegal interference by the police, politicians and others who step across these rights in pursuit of ideological gain.
Fair Cop is campaigning for the College of Policing to change its Hate Crime Guidance.
