Make blocking emergency vehicles on purpose a criminal offence.
There are too many reports of ambulances being blocked on purpose resulting in people not being able to receive emergency treatment. Even to the point when paramedics are dealing with poorly patients they are receiving letters about blocking driveways. This should be a criminal offence.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because it's already a criminal offence to obstruct emergency workers under the Emergency Workers (Obstruction) Act 2006. We are therefore unsure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
The decision on whether to arrest or prosecute someone under this Act would be a decision for the police and Crown Prosecution Service and not the UK Government or Parliament.
