Petition deficit savings

More details

There could be a very easy way to deal with two huge problems that the coalition are facing today.

Firstly people who are arrested or taken to A&E when drunk or under the influence of drugs, should face an instant fine of £500. Having spoken to various Police officers and A&E nurses, they are all in favour of tackling this menace and feel this would stamp out the problem almost immediatley.

Secondly the money raised by such fines could be pumped straight back into the NHS and Police forces, which would benefit everyone.

On average there are 12,500 incidents of this nature every weekend, this should raise £6,250,000 each weekend.
