You can get arrested for grossly offensive (completely subjective).

Also they have a category called non-crime hate incidents (Hello Kafka) where they come to "intimidate" you without any charges being filed.

That non crime hate incident goes on your criminal record and if you need an enhanced criminal records check, it will show up, and can be used to deny you employment. Its not just intimidation.
You mean police acting is a non authoritative capacity to maintain public order?
