"Non-crime Hate Incidents" (NCHIs) is a British term used by police to
describe people who say things that hurt people's feelings. Sounds like
a pretty minor sort of thing that police would almost never bother with,
right? Actually, Leo Kearse points out that these NCHIs are a top
priority with police to the point where most other crimes remain
unsolved and even uninvestigated.

As Kearse points out, these vaguely defined non-crimes contain the
distinct possibility of significant jail time and are NEVER expunged
from your record - unlike *actual* crimes like assault and embezzlement.

 How in the blue fuck can you be put in jail for something that isn't a
crime?!?
 

This is a question that has baffled observers of British policing for some time....
