Bill: Torture Act
Details
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: March 2038
Description[?]:
| Torture is the most horrific thing that can be done by one human to another, be it psychological or physical. However, the use of torture can not be entirely forbidden, for there are certain situations (a terrorist with a bomb in one of ten appartment buildings ) where torture or chemical interrogation, as foul as it may be, must be used. |

| Date | not recorded | From | Deadly Buzz Party | To | Debating the Torture Act |
| Message | I'll have to vote no. "Grave Emergencies" sounds too strict. There would be situations in relation to terror suspects that there might be something going on that we dont know about, and torture (psychological only) may get the important information. |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
