How police labeled tweets 'dangerous' — my High Court victory. Visited by the police, not because you had committed a crime, but because of something you posted online.
Harry Miller, whose case became one of the most significant free speech battles in recent British legal history experienced this.
According to Miller, police argued that certain forms of speech, left unchallenged, could potentially escalate into more serious harms in the future.
Miller disagreed arguing that police should not be monitoring lawful opinions or acting as arbiters of acceptable thought.
The dispute eventually reached the courts, where the case became a landmark moment in the debate over free expression, policing, and the limits of state power.
Whatever your views on the subject matter itself, the broader question remains: Should police ever intervene when no crime has been committed?
