IMHO, someone who is a reporter and on the ground should spent some time trying to find out what was behind this decision. Like Ian, I suspect mere laziness and misunderstanding and fear.

This is a classic example of Bhaskar Chakravorti's "dem-Moore" law in action. We have not yet hit the digital tipping point. Someone in the Scottish police hierarchy got cold feet, IMHO.
