Fair Cop was established to protect police officers who face disciplinary issues for expressing anti-trans, misogynist and other anti-LGBTQ+ views. It was started in 2019 by former police officer Harry Miller, after he was investigated for posting anti-trans content on social media.
The organisation has strong links to the far right and the broader gender critical milieu. In 2020, it promoted the #SayYesToHate Twitter campaign, which took aim at the supposedly too-broad definitions in hate crime legislation.
In 2023, Fair Cop intervened on behalf of James Goddard, previously an organiser in Patriotic Alternative, after he posted anti-LGBTQ+ rants online and was investigated by the police. Miller was arrested in 2022 after posting a picture of the progress pride flag fashioned into a swastika. This resulted in widespread far-right support online.
Miller has appeared alongside several far-right activists on social media and offline. In 2020, he spoke at the Hearts of Oak annual conference and he was interviewed by Carl Benjamin (AKA Sargon of Akkad) on the Lotus Eaters in 2023.
