Superintendent Martin Earl apologised in a statement on Monday for "any confusion" the campaign caused, declaring: "We would like to clarify that 'being offensive' is not in itself an offense."
Earl explained that the campaign was organized by local police in the Wirral area of Merseyside "to encourage people to report hate crime," but added that the message was "incorrect," despite calling it "well intentioned."
Merseyside Police in Wirral became the target of international condemnation and concern after it posted pictures last week of its police officers standing by a rainbow flag billboard that read, "Being offensive is an offense: Merseyside Police stand with and support the LGBTQI+ community, we will not tolerate hate crime on any level."
The billboard also defined "hate crime" as a crime against "sex workers, sexual orientation, disability, gender identity, race, ethnicity or nationality, religion, faith or belief," prompting some Brits to question whether ridiculing prostitutes was now a criminal offense.
