| Message | As always we support this upholding of liberty. This issue has pingponged back and forth for years and years, I wouldn't blame both police and protesters for being thoroughly confused about their rights by now! |

| Message | Indeed, and the AAP intends to keep championing this issue (as well as all those other 'civil liberty issues' that we consistently push), UNTIL justice is served. We thank the LPE for their support. |

| Message | i am voting against as the current system works just fine. there are plenty of situations where your proposed system can turn into violence and people being injured or worse. the current system allows people to gather freely but if they pose a risk to public safety then the peoples right to feel safe is more important. |

| Message | Response to the FCoL: The AAP utterly disagrees, and is surprised to see the FCoL endorsing what equates to a martial-law state. The proposed sytem cannot 'turn into violence' because the language of the Bill explicitly makes it clear that the police CAN disrupt a gathering where there is ACTUAL risk. At the moment, they just have to be able to argue that THEY 'believe' there MIGHT be risk. The current system allows people to gather freely IF the police allow it. And, a police contingent doesn't even have to present probable cause to break up a rally. The AAP is particularly drawn to this issue, since early AAP rallies were broken up by Likatonian Peace-officers, who 'thought' there 'might' be some possible 'risk' to such a gathering. |

| Message | The AAP has decided to push this issue to vote, in absence of any further comment. |

| Message | The LPE also has personal experience, as the older parties present will remember. Because our members were pro abortion, the then consul decided that we posed a risk to the safety of citizens (unborn), and gave orders to have our party dispersed. Thankfully we managed to repeal the law before he took police action, though we did have a few nasty days besieged in the senate house. |

| Message | The AAP is always saddened by such stories, and it is for those exact reasons that we see need to have this unjust law repealed. |
