Summer Album #12 PC Al Smith – tackling trans-gender hate crime

Most police officers are used to enforcing laws but one West Midlands PC is also changing them!Inspired by their own experiences, PC Al Smith – responsible for hunting down paedophiles as part of the force’s cutting edge Online Child Sexual Exploitation Team – has changed a piece of law known as the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) to ensure transgendered detainees are treated as the gender they identify with rather than the gender they were given at birth.
