Home office to overturn the conviction of Acting Sergeant Blades

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Sergeant Blades has a criminal background and has had to pay £100 to each of his apparent victims. All because he was trying to do his job

Acting Sergeant Blades was convicted of dangerous driving all because he was doing his job to catch criminals. In doing so he has blocked the path of offenders trying to make off with his patrol car. It is my opinion that Acting Sergeant Blades was merely trying to protect the public from these offenders and should therefore have his conviction overturned

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
