Improve & implement mandatory security for all clubs and bars to prevent spiking

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Improve prevention of being drugged on a night out by increasing obligatory, thorough searches before the entry into bars and nightclubs. Also, additional training should be crucial for staff to aid victims of these attacks.
Many people (especially women) are being put in extreme, life altering danger (HIV infections through dirty needles). Also, the use of these drugs themselves can be highly dangerous and destressing to the victims. Furthermore, the drugs can be used to facilitate sexual assault or even rape.
