Apparently ministers have been surprised by the stramash, which seems to me to imply stupidity and lack of knowledge.

Apparently people shouldn't waste police time, perhaps the Scottish government and parliament should have applied that to themselves. I'm also not sure how there can be lots of vexatious complaints, and yet the number of complaints justify the legislation as is said by Angela Constance.
