Legal vs Lawful

The request was refused by Police Scotland.

Dear Police Scotland,

1,Can you tell me why and what law you use to refuse to supply a "person" a copy of an arrest warrant issued under the non attendance of a court visit or non payment of a fixed penalty notice.
2,It is my understanding that a warrant is not lawful unless it has a wet ink signature from a sheriff/JP/Judge, are police Scotland enforcing warrants without a Sherriff/JP or judges signature?
3,It is my understanding that the Scottish police force has to uphold the safety of the "persons" living within "Scotland, if this is correct which law takes priority "legal" or "lawful" or "statute vs common
4,If a court enforced a "legal" law which caused fraud, extortion and breach of the peace against a "person" would police Scotland turn a blind eye to protect the "legal system"

Yours faithfully,

Keith de McMillan
