Petition to the House of Commons
  
    We, the undersigned citizens and residents of Canada, bring the attention of the House of Commons to the following:
    Whereas, upholding a high standard of the law should never be done in a way that puts in danger the very citizens that the law intends to protect;
    Whereas, police forces have been known to impound people's vehicles at night, leaving them alone on the side of the road. This puts citizens in a dangerous and vulnerable situation, especially when it occurs in a remote area or in harsh weather conditions.
    Therefore we, the undersigned, call on the government of Canada to take the following action to address the situation:
    
      
        1. Provide police with the resources they need to effectively uphold the law, while avoiding putting citizens in positions where they could be vulnerable; and
      
    
    
      
        2. Ensure that vehicles are only impounded at night if it is absolutely necessary for public safety, and that arrangements for the protection of the owner of the vehicle are made by the police in these cases.
