Help decrease the overall UK crime rate
Introduce a formal request for the implementation of a protocol mandating the stopping and searching of individuals donning balaclavas while on public streets.
I would like the government or parliament help to assist the fast evolving criminal activity across the United Kingdom. Those wearing balaclavas have no reason to wear a balaclava unless potentially being involved in criminal activity, such as murders, robberies, trafficking etc
