Trump International Golf Course Urination Scandal: Rohan Beyts Asks For Damages For 'Secretly Filming' Her
Scottish golf course owned by President Donald Trump has come into news after its employees took pictures of a woman urinating last year. The employees of the golf course took pictures of that woman urinating in sand dunes while on a walk close to the beach near Aberdeenshire, where Trump's gold course is located, as they had thought that she had breached the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982, according to reports.
Carol Rohan Beyts, 62, the woman who urinated, said in court Monday that during the time of the incident in April last year, she was being treated for a gall bladder problem, and the urgency to relieve herself during the walk resulted to her urination. One of her friends, who was present with her, during the walk, offered to stand watch for Beyts while she urinated, the Independent reported.

Three days after the incident, two police officers visited Beyts at her home in Montrose and arrested her for public urination. After being informed by the police that she was filmed by the employees of the golf course, she was "shocked" and "upset". The charges against Beyts were dropped after she refused to accept a written warning, according to the Guardian.
She had also shared about the entire incident on her Facebook page.
During the court procedure that started this week, Beyts has demanded about $ 2,800 in damages on the grounds that employees of Trump's Scotland golf course had breached data protection laws by "secretly filming" her. A decision from the court is scheduled for Wednesday, according to reports.
Beyts also said during the hearing she has been a long time opponent of Trump's Scottish golf course, which faces stiff opposition due to environmental concerns, according to the Independent.
