What the petition asks
There are over 70 Peadophile hunting groups working hard to keep our children safe. They work within the law so why have local Police been given orders from 'above' to try & arrest them & not to work with them.
The Hunter groups are not vigilantes, they do not take the law into their own hands. They are evidence gatherers & they expose peapophiles then hand them over to the police, along with all the evidence needed to enable a conviction.
Instead of working against them, recognise the important part they play in keeping our children safe.
Licence them if needs be.
Recognise they provide a service our Police force can't.
Hunters are proactive - Police are reactive.
Our children need their protection
