Rejected petition Stricter Rules on Employed Charity Workers with Clipboards

More details

I petition the government to place a ban or enforce stricter rules to prevent

employed charity workers with clipboards appraoching you in the middle of the

street or walk up and down your address and harrass you for credit card or debit

card details.

Charity volunteers with tins are not allowed to approach people or shake their tins

as this is considered to be begging for money. These rules should apply to the

EMPLOYED workers who are paid commision for all the details they collect as the

principle is essentialy the same they are begging for money in the form of plastic.
