Rejected petition DC Hannah Notley's 4 month sentence to lenient
More details
DC Hannah Notley has recently been convicted for lying to the victim of Rape that the public prosecutor would not take her case to charge.
In reality she had failed to even send the file.
DC Hannah Notley holds a position of responsibility in society as a Police Constable. They rightly deserve our respect for their role in society, however when they breach that public trust this ought to be a significant aggravating factor.
We see too many Police cases like this where a lenient sentence is passed involving crimes committed by serving Police Constables.
We say enough is enough and the Government needs to step up and ensure that sentences reflect the seriousness of their actions. 4 months is no deterrent to other rogue Constables who bring disgrace on their hard working colleagues and erode public confidence in the public service of the police.
We say review the sentence of DC Hannah Notley
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for.
Sentences that appear to be unduly lenient cannot be referred through the E-Petitions website. If you believe a sentence given in a Crown Court appears to be very low, or unduly lenient, anyone can contact the Attorney General's office asking for the sentence to be reviewed as long as it is within 28 days of sentencing.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
