What the petition asks
There is a massive problem of motorbikes being stolen and used to terrorise innocent members of the public. Our roads and parks have become like racetracks and the police are not allowed to give chase in case the rider hurts themselves a ridiculous policy that does nothing but protect the criminal.
Yobs are stealing motorbikes off decent people just to joy ride and burn out, the police are told to do nothing but watch them, WRONG.
