Id like to see a piper taken to court and challange it, the police would be unable to privide any evidence of a breach of the peace
" 6. Persisting to the annoyance of others in playing musical instruments,
singing, playing radios etc on being required to stop - Section 54(1) of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982"
one could argue that In Scotland a bagpipe is a weapon of war not a musical instrument.
and what evidence would the police produce to show that annoyance had occured.
If I made a sworn statement that i was "annoyed" by the Tattoo would it be cancelled?
I cant wait for a test case
