Rejected petition: We, the people revoke our consent to the police due to 2-tier policing
Rejected on
We demand Government and Parliament legislate to ensure equality in law enforcement for all citizens, ending two-tier policing. Review police guidelines, funding, and accountability to guarantee fair and impartial treatment regardless of background, belief, or position
2-tier policing undermines equality and erodes public trust, essential for policing by consent. When groups (e.g., those with political connections, wealth, or religious beliefs) receive preferential treatment, it shows the police service is biased and politically motivated. This selective enforcement damages the social contract, creating systemic injustice. Restoring consent requires uncompromising impartiality
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
There are already laws and guidance in place that require the police to treat everyone equally and it isn't clear how you would like those rules changed.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
