This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. The enforcement of the law is the responsibility of the police and the courts, which are independent of the Government and Parliament.

If you would like Parliament to change the law, you could start a new petition asking for a specific change.
