Police Scotland submission of 30 November 2021

PE1898/D - Make entering someone’s home without their permission or warrant a crime

The SPICe and SG submissions articulate the current law and powers and therefore Police Scotland have nothing additional to add in this regard.

There are situations when individuals are found to be within an address and it appears they are not entitled to be there. These are dealt with according to the circumstances and evidence presented. Where criminality is established this is dealt with accordingly.

Police Scotland are unaware of any scenarios where the existing law was insufficient to deal with matters criminally if required.
