Police chiefs are embroiled in a fresh woke row over official guidance that says biological men who identify as women can ask to be strip searched by a female officer. The National Police Chiefs’ Council and British Transport Police will next week face a High Court challenge after they published the guidance despite last year’s Supreme Court ruling.Women’s rights groups who have launched the legal action say the advice from police chiefs will put female officers under pressure to search detainees who are biological men.
The police refusing to obey the law? Say it ain't so!
The NPCC guidance says that female officers can refuse to conduct an intimate search of a trans woman detainee.But women’s rights charity Sex Matter, which is bringing the legal challenge, argues that female officers feel that in reality they can’t opt out of their duties, fearing career repercussions. They claim in legal documents this amounts to discrimination and harassment.
It does, because it is!
The NPCC said the guidance ‘was developed after a thorough process in response to last year’s Supreme Court ruling’ and is ‘explicit that officers will face no career detriment for refusing to carry out a search’.
Yeah, we the public know you are liars, especially when it relates to woke policies, , so don't expect your staff not to realise it too.
