Rejected petition Replace sound alarms with community-friendly alternative

More details

Sound alarms, whether from cars, or from commercial or residential premises, are designed to be both highly unpleasant and highly audible. When they go off they cause significant stress and inconvenience to neighbours. And they do go off often. Whatever their effectiveness at preventing crime, the brunt of the cost is borne by neighbours. Alternative solutions to preventing robbery ought to be found which don't affect neighbours so detrimentally.
