This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

If you think the police or a court have lost or thrown away evidence accidentally for a specific case, you may wish to make a complaint.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission, not the Government or Parliament, conducts independent investigations of the police. You can find out more about the IPCC, including how to make a complaint, here:
