Message | I think what we need to consider is, what if the emergency overwhelms the civilian police force? The current law prohibits the military from providing any help whatsoever. This change allows the military to assist.. but only if asked to. So, why deny extra help in case of serious emergencies? Voting against this is sort of like keeping the nation with one hand tied behind its back. Better to utilize the resources we have available , than give in to irrational fears of a 'police state'. |

Message | I think that this is more in the way of martial law than other emergency work (eg., evacuations, defences, medical aid). But if you can prove otherwise, I'll vote for. |
Date | 02:07:59, September 27, 2005 CET | From | LibCom Party | To | Debating the Malavia Emergency Response bill |
Message | As ULP points out, the military can already provide logistical support, leaving the police free to do their job. We're against allowing the military to take over policing. |
