Once it's decided there are grounds for arrest, which is then a referral to the Procurator Fiscal.

PC plod isn't going to arrest someone on his/her say so, this will be through a complaint to the "police".

Oh dear in an ideal world maybe but its not and never will be.

So if there are no convictions in the next 12 months the legislator in Scotland will withdraw the legislation? Or then this is a **** show at best and lets hope most sensible people walk away from it as quickly as they can. Unfortunately I fear not.
 
All I've said is let's see how it goes. I don't think think the scaremongering is right but let's see.

You've decided it's sh1t after two days, no one has even been convicted yet.
 
No That not quite what I said. However i don't think we are that far apart on out view of the legislation and its implementation

I called a black man "gammon" today...
He put his arm around me and said: "it's ok mate. Do you know where you live? Do you want me to call someone for you?"
Didn't seem upset about it the slightest.
Instead he thought I had escaped from an asylum...

You really think it will be a PC who decides? I'm not saying it won't all go wrong, but give it a chance. There isn't that much of a difference to existing legislation.

Sec 3 and 4 are quite significant. Not to mention the whole point is to define factors that result in harsher sentencing. What other laws do we have where a person’s beliefs result in increased sentences?
 
Scottish police say JK Rowling will not be prosecuted for saying men are "men."

Transactivists are not necessarily "woke"

You have changed the meaning of the word in your own mind.

Very much like motorbiking.

He wants to denigrate people who are opposed to racism.

So hypothetically speaking if a person traveled from (let's just say essex as an example) to Scotland and he/him/whatever proclaimed that 'a man being with another man' is abnormal, should he/him/whatever be prosecuted?

High profile person with deep pockets for expensive lawyers doesn’t get prosecuted.

Who’d have thought.

I don't know your objective in raising an entirely different question.

Sounds like you are postulating a religious fundamentalist commenting on homosexuality.
