Expand the offence of wasting police time to social services and anonymous tips

Petition Details

We want a cap on how many false anonymous reports to social services there can be before false reporters will have consequences if it is found to be false

Additional Information

Because there are times that false reports happen and it destroys people's lives and the people who are causing it to get away without so much as a warning
