Stop eBay selling uniforms & equipment from the emergency services.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Ebay is currently selling everything from Police, Paramedic & Fire service uniforms to badges & equipment from our emergency services which is a security risk to members of the public and the UK in general.

I want this to stop or be limited with checks made in order to keep the public safe.
I have produced a short documentary about the subject that shows how easy it is to buy equipment used by our emergency services that should not be made available to the public without checks.

Why it was rejected

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

The Government and Parliament can't stop just one company doing something. You could start a new petition calling for the sale of these items to be banned in the UK.
