Petition The sentence for assault on any public servant should be automatically doubled.

The public (and public servants) are regularly dismayed and stunned at the level of sentence given to those guilty of assault on public servants.

The sentence for such offences should be doubled to serve as a real deterrent, so that public servants are afforded the full protection of the law.
