Restrict actions of police during peaceful protests, rather than expanding them.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

On the 16th of March 2021, Parliament will vote on the passing of The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill. If this is passed, it will hinder peaceful but effective protests from taking place. We believe this bill simply will not be representative of public opinion.

The police have demonstrated on the evening of 13th March 2021 that they already have too much freedom to restrain peaceful protesters. This act will allow them to do so even more freely. We cannot let this happen, and we need to keep government voting representative of the general public, rather than whipped into voting for a bill that will massively hinder our right to protest peacefully.

Why it was rejected

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

We're not sure what you'd like the Government to do to restrict the actions available to the police.
