Rejected petition Randomly search everyone in knife crime “hot spots”

Knife crime has hit epidemic proportions & is not only killing many people , the threat of knife crime terrifies everyone. The rise in people carrying knives is a trend & it can be reversed . A bold move needs to be taken & I am convinced the public would support this.
