Bill: CPL Police Support Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Conservative Liberal Party
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: May 2110
Description[?]:
| We propose that the military may be called in to help the police force in serious emergencies. This is because of police overstretch, the Armed Forces will from time to time be needed to back up the police forces. The following situations, we feel, create the need for the Armed Forces to back up the Civil Forces 1) Natural Disasters 2) Isolated outbreaks of serious diseases. 3) Serious rioting 4) Violent social/sectarian/politica/seperatist events 4) Any situation where anarchy occurs due to the above factors The Armed Forces may only use 'light' weapons already employed by the Civil Forces. |
