Police wrong to join Pride march, judge rules

NEWCASTLE, UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 17 – The High Court found Northumbria Police unlawfully endorsed a political cause by marching in uniform at Newcastle Pride, highlighting concerns over police impartiality in community events.

  • A judge ruled that Northumbria Police Chief Constable Vanessa Jardine's decision to allow officers to participate in the Pride march was unlawful.
  • Lindsey Smith, who describes herself as a 'gender critical' lesbian, brought the case against Jardine, arguing that the participation showed bias and undermined impartiality.
  • The judge found that the officers' involvement demonstrated support for the transgender rights cause and those opposing it were 'not welcome' at the Pride events.
