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.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition calling for the law to be changed so hoax callers to emergency services may face a fine or prison sentence if that's something you would like to see happen.
