Rejected petition Stop the privitisation of the Police

More details

Private companies should not be allowed to have police powers. It will see a servere drop in the level of service members of the public receive with no ability to complain to the independent police authority. Officers and police staff will lose their jobs, and as private companies have to make a profit it will cost the tax payer more money.

Say no to legalised private thugs on the street!
