Scots TV presenter Kaye Adams stopped by police at Cop26 for 'unusual behaviour'

Scots TV presenter Kaye Adams says she was stopped by police at Cop 26 for filming with her iphone.

The former Edinburgh schoolgirl spoke online about being questioned by plain clothed officers for acting suspiciously at the event yesterday.

The TV star was walking around Glasgow filming videos for her social media when she was stopped.

Her final video showed police officers standing outside the building, before Kaye could be heard off-camera saying "What, are you alright?".

Later on she went onto Twitter and posted, saying: “Just got stopped and questioned by a plain clothes police officer near Cop 26 for acting ‘surreptitiously’.

"Never been accused of that before!”

She continued: “Secretive filming apparently. I had my secretive iPhone in my secretive hand.”

Kaye seemed to shrug off the incident and later took to Instagram to praise the climate summit.

She said: “Amazing to think the future of the planet is being discussed behind these turnstiles.”

Police Scotland say they are monitoring anyone acting "unusual" in and around the Cop 26 event.

Assistant Chief Constable Gary Ritchie said: “Police Scotland is running Project Servator, a tactic proven to help disrupt a range of criminal activity, as part of the policing operation to provide a safe and secure COP26.

“Project Servator has been deployed successfully at major events in the past such as the Commonwealth Games and Edinburgh Festivals.

“As part of these deployments officers, both uniform and plain clothes, who are trained in spotting unusual behaviour, will proactively engage with people and will be happy to provide information and reassurance about the campaign.”

Kaye was born in Falkirk but attended school at St. George’s School for Girls in Edinburgh, before she went onto study politics and economics at the University of Edinburgh.
