Uniformed police Participating in a proud parade after a “broad-catering” is being banned effectively Decision in High Court.
The decision submitted on Wednesday ruled that the officials had participated Newcastle’s Pride Parade Last year.
The case was brought by Linzi Smith, which describes himself as a “gay critical ‘, which” believes a person’s sex is an irreversible feature “in court documents, which is” believes a person’s sex “.
He argued that the police violated their impartial obligations to participate in the incident and appear under a banner supporting the rights of transgender people.
Judge, Mr. Justice Linden, agreed with him and ruled the Chief Constable of Northern Police when he allowed uniformed officers to participate in the event last year.
It is likely to be ruling that the police are capable of participating in community programs across the country.
Chief Constable Gavin Stephens, Chairman of the Council of National Police Heads, said that the organization has stated as “working through expansion” and is working to help local forces “to maintain their impartiality in the events to help take decisions around partnership in events.”
He said, “Police officers and employees who know their communities appear in communities and play an active role in their local fields, showing time and time to create confidence and trust in our service,” he said.
“Every week police officers and employees participate in thousands of programs in the country as part of their duties, ranging from community programs in village halls to large scale programs ranging from community programs, carnival, parade and festivals.
“However, we believe that policing should also maintain its impartiality, including the types of events that support it and play an active part.”
In a witness statement, Harry Miller, a former officer and founder of the Group Fair Cop, said that the chief constable marched next to the participants, “Flags and symbol clearly connected to gender ideologists” such as “Trans women are women” and “trans rights human rights”.
He argued that it indicated a political union.
Arriving at its decision, the judge said that the participation of the chief constable can be seen as “to express the support of the head of the force and promote march for ideas” and therefore “as an outfit to indicate the position or perspective of the force as an outfit”.
Executive Director of The Good Law Project Joe Mogham Casey said that “incredibly important” decisions can be practical implications for all people who are subject to fair obligations participating in such events.
“Fairness duties that the police have a large number of fairness is not different from the duties that are with all other folk servants,” he said. “This does not mean that the police cannot do these parades to the police – they can. But this means that they cannot march in them.
“But this may also mean that civil servants cannot march them or BBC journalists.”
He warned that it could expand parade or protests related to other reasons such as racism or anti-Misogini is also a legally protected group under the Equality Act.
Mr. Mougham said that “there was a lack of clarity in the heart of the judgment”, which he said that the “gender ideology” does not define the phrase.
,[The judge’s ruling] It seems that the reality or validity of trans existence is for debate. Independent“The difficulty of Parliament has said that it is not for debate.
“The Equality Act assumes that trans the people – such as women and disabled people – are a group that does not exist for debate, it has to be preserved.”
He said: “This is another decision made by our courts so far, which has a profound impact on LGBT rights, where a court has not considered it appropriate to hear from the community.”
In response to the ruling, the Northumbria police said that it is an important role to play in various programs including parade and festivals throughout the year. “
It has been said that their primary objective is to protect people, these incidents also provide the police “an opportunity to connect with those who may have less confidence in policing.”
These incidents “provide the force with the opportunity to join people who may have less confidence in policing”
“It is important important that they feel supported and we trust them.” “That’s why we felt important to challenge the case that was brought against us and which implications for comprehensive policing.
“We will work through the ruling to understand the implications, while being perfect for our values of fairness, visibility and all.”
