Kent Police is slammed for poster classifying rapes as non-emergency crimes that should be reported online

Kent Police is facing an outcry after Internet users shared images of a poster displayed in its station window in Maidstone that classed rape and sexual assault as 'non-emergency' crimes.

The poster - a black-and-white A4 printout - told passers-by how 'non-emergency enquiries' can be shared with the police force via an online form, and listed rape and sexual assault in the same category as anti-social behaviour, fraud and road traffic incidents.

A snap of the poster has been circulated on social media, with one user writing a message to Kent Police which read: 'This just goes to show how done out this country is getting!

'How can you downplay such a horrific and violent crime?

'I get it's hard to prove but going about it like this ain't the way. Absolute tools.'

TFW you can't report being raped because the website is down.

This sub attempts to create a ~neutral place where participants may discuss CW topics without tribal turf-defending and finger-pointing. This sub is not as heavily moderated as others, but it is definitely not a free-for-all.

Text posts with context only. Explain how your submission relates to the Culture War and attempt to do so without sneering. "Why do I have a bad reaction to this?" is far better than "Look at this idiot."
