First Minister Humza Yousaf hit out at the Scottish Tory leader’s characterisation of a new police pilot
Mr Ross’s criticism – which was dismissed as “seeking cheap political headlines” by First Minister Humza Yousaf on Thursday – stems from an announcement this week of a trial where crimes which present no risk, harm or vulnerability nor which have any positive line of inquiry will be logged but no further action taken.
Speaking at First Minister’s Questions at Holyrood, Mr Ross said: “This pilot is unfairly treating communities in the north-east as guinea pigs.He added: “First Minister, this is a direct consequence of SNP funding cuts. “Why is the First Minister telling offenders that they can break the law and get away with it here in Scotland?”
