, Constance said she felt compelled to remind MSPs of the purpose of the law as she said some politicians had"lost sight and empathy" towards the people it is designed to protect by misrepresenting its intentions.
"Over the past month, there has unfortunately been deliberate misinformation and misrepresentation of the act, losing sight and empathy towards people in our communities it seeks to protect."Debate around the act has provided little light and too much heat. There is nothing in the act that is divisive, it should not be anyone’s intention to make it so."
Constance has, however, conceded the Scottish Government could have done more to inform people about the act. The force said the “vast majority” of complaints received during this second week were anonymous, with most resulting in no further action being taken when assessed against the legislation. Experts say the threshold for prosecution is high – something Constance reiterated at Holyrood – and that it is unlikely many people will be prosecuted under the legislation.We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
