Unsure about Scottish law in relation to protest and policing?

@activists_legal have compiled a comprehensive guide, which you can consult on their website - alongside an up-to-date guide on protest and COVID-19: https://buff.ly/3s5Cdjs

We're still living with Coronavirus regulations that mean police in Scotland have the power to enforce travel restrictions and break up gatherings. 🚔🙅‍♀️ If you see cops abusing those powers, tell SCALP, and read our guide here:

Two weeks on and the Guardian website is still misinforming people about lockdown 🥺 @guardian @guardiannews

Scottish Community & Activist Legal Project@activists_legal

@guardian 👋 We couldn't help noticing that your Covid map is wrong. Mainland Scotland is not in 'national lockdown', this is a non sequitur - restrictions are at Level 4. Secondly the Levels shown for many Islands, inc. Na h-Eileanan Siar, is wrong.
