Police Authorities: record a riot as a riot
We, the undersigned, urge the Policing & Criminal Justice Minister, Nick Herbert MP, to use the Government’s powers to compel Police Authorities not to record criminal activity related to the 2011 riots as ‘violent disorder’ (or any other terminology that falls short of ‘rioting’) in order to avoid paying out compensation under the Riot Damages Act.
Where Police Authorities have done this, we urge the Government use its powers to compel them to revisit their decision and rightfully pay out the compensation that is being underwritten by Government to riot victims.
It is unacceptable that, many months on, nie out of 10 victims have not received the compensation guaranteed to them under law.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
