A Tory MSP has threatened legal action against Police Scotland after the force logged a social media comment he made as a "hate incident".
Murdo Fraser likened identifying as non-binary to identifying "as a cat", in relation to Scottish government equality policies last November.
Police decided no crime had been committed after a complaint was made.
However Mr Fraser has accused police of acting unlawfully by recording it as a hate incident, and his complaint comes ahead of new hate crime legislation taking effect in Scotland from 1 April.
TalkTV's Kevin O'Sullivan and Alex Phillips are joined by Mr Fraser who says Scotland’s new hate crime act is wasting police time, insisting "none of these complaints are being taken forward but the police have to spend time investigating them.”
