A father-of-two who called a lesbian policewoman a 'tattooed fat d***' has been convicted for the hate crime after a judge accused him of 'living in the Stone Ages.'
Louis Risley, 43, was said to have smirked as he verbally abused PC Shelley Quince-Black about her sexuality as she helped arrest him for loitering in someone else's garden on April 12.
Back at the police station, PC Quince-Black relayed the homophobic insult as she gave Risley's details to a senior colleague only for the suspect from Warrington, Cheshire, to retort: 'Well you are though, aren't you?'
The officer from Cheshire Police, who is in a same-sex marriage, was said to have been 'taken aback' and felt 'disrespected' by the comment.
In a statement she said: 'I felt that he had no regard as to how it would affect me. He said it off the cuff as if he used it frequently.
'I do not come to work to be victimised. I do not think that it's appropriate to use that language in a public area.'
At Warrington Magistrates Court, Risley pleaded guilty to using threatening, insulting or abusive words or behaviour to cause harassment, alarm, or distress and was fined £150 with £119 in costs and a victim surcharge.
District judge Nicholas Sanders told him: 'We are not living in the Stone Ages when people felt free to insult others due to their perceived sexuality, race or anything else.
'It may have been acceptable some 40 or 50 years ago, but it is not now. You need to moderate your behaviour as an offence like this goes well beyond just words, it really does upset people.'

I could afford the fine.
A reprobate mind?
Well, we know the man has good eyesight.
OTOH, his description may have been spot-on!
Sodom and Gomorrah was nothing compared to the pervs we’ve got today.
It IS a fat tattooed dyke.
What’s the problem?
In a statement she said: ‘I felt that he had no regard as to how it would affect me. He said it off the cuff as if he used it frequently.
‘I do not come to work to be victimised. I do not think that it’s appropriate to use that language in a public area.’
The danger in holding people responsible for other people’s feelings is that you ultimately have no end in sight. The drama just continues forever.
What’s the problem? Truth is illegal in most countries.
They all think God has changed in the last 120 years
At least the penalty matches the triviality of the offense: 150 pounds.
Compare with Alex Jones’s penalty for a slightly more serious transgression: nearly $1 billion.
tell-em you want jail...
Indeed the left truth is hate speech to the left it’s propaganda or nothing room 101 is always open.
