Suspend the Criminal Justice Act (1994) to allow celebrations after Covid-19

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

A brief suspension of the Criminal Justice and Public Order act (1994)
To allow people of all races and ages to come together to celebrate and enjoy the conclusion of the Covid-19 global epidemic, whenever that may be

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

Suspending the Criminal Justice Act 1994 would make a number of changes to the law, including crimes relating to obscenity and the ways in which police evidence is obtained.

You could start a new petition calling for the law on trespass to be suspended, if that's what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
