Bill: Policing Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: United Liberal Alliance
Status[?]: defeated
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: October 2116
Description[?]:
| In light of an addition to the proposals for police weaponry, I would like to readdress the issue of weapons for the police. I still believe that ordinary officers should only carry non-lethal weapons, but obviously there can still be specially trained firearms units. |

Proposal[?] to change The weapons used by police forces.
Old value:: Police officers carry standard firearms.

| Message | I understand your reasoning for it, I'm just not sure that this is going to be as effective in some situations. |

| Message | Same reasoning as RP. I believe that ordinary police officers can carry normal handguns. Our FBI equivalent, will have the right to use military grade weapons though. I remember we debated over this once, and we realized, countries are different all over the world...some works, some doesn't. hmmm i'll think about it. |
