Rejected petition Allow motorcycle riders to carry an item for self defence
There is a rise in bike theft on the UK and 9 times out of 10 the owner of the bike can't not defend themselves as in the UK we can't not legally carry any self defence items
More details
I believe carry an item the police use the batton will help fight against the thief's that try. more people need to have that ability to defend themselves against this criminal's we work hard for our bikes/gear to have someone steal them under our noses we have no way to defend ourselves from a safe distance a batton would help this. having an item for self defence. Will lower the crime rate for stolen bikes in the UK with some free training from local police forces will help the riders
