@wood5y sorry, no. Scotland is a separate jurisdiction. We have our own legal system with our own legal principles and our own police force. One of the articles of the treaty of union was that our legal jurisdiction would not be superseded by any external court.
A move like this is being contemplated to compromise the devolved settlement and remove control of the police forces from the devolved governments #scotland #wales #northernireland
