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. Police officers are currently able to stop and search people with reasonable grounds for suspecting they are carrying a weapon. You can find out more here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
