reinstate stop and search
Rejected

What the petition asks
I believe that bringing back the stop and search policy will save lives. Other families will not have to endure the pain of losing their child.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This is an operational matter for the Police. The UK Government or Parliament are not responsible for decisions around stop and search.
