Lauren Maires from 3D Solicitors and Dijen Basu QC discuss the case of a group of police officers who exchanged sexist, degrading, racist, antisemitic, homophobic, and disability-mocking messages while off off-duty in a WhatsApp group chat. They also posted crime scene photographs of their current investigations. No crime was committed in posting those messages and photos. The case came down to the question, was the WhatsApp group chat a private matter for the officers taking part, or could they be subjected to disciplinary action for their messages?
