The legislation does not include a provision requiring them to appear in front of the public on video, Briggs said, because some counties may not have the technology, and he hopes to respect officials privacy if they are not presentable.  "Maybe they were in a bad car wreck if their faces were really smashed up," he said.

Avalanche warning issued for Pentland Hills as snow begins to thaw Those planning to visit the Pentland Hills have been warned that there are risks of an avalanche after one was reported this morning. Thursday, 28th January 2021, 11:38 am Dave Wright took the photo of the snow giving way and falling down the hill earlier this week, but he says the risks are still real.
