Rejected petition I would like the homeless to be given ID cards to prove they are homeless.

I would like the homeless to be given identification cards by the council to prove they are homeless. On many occasions i have given money to people whom I thought was homeless, turned out to be con artists. This will be beneficial for the homeless and public.

More details

All over the internet there are many videos of which people are claiming to be homeless, conning people out of money and other goods. It will be beneficial for the homeless as they can get the help they need and the public will be helping genuine people in need.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because it's the responsibility of individuals to decide who they give money to and not the UK Government or Parliament.

You might like to give money to a homelessness charity instead:

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
