| Message | The Kazari Organization have been crusaders against crime, we will not stop until tougher and vital precautionary measures are put in place to combat crime and criminal behavior. Though to some, perhaps to our rivals who label us authoritarian, this may seem inethical, but to let would-be criminals roam the streets and wait until the shenannigan commit the crime is inethical, probably more inethical than to stop the crime before it happens. As for article 2, Habeas data is very important for the courts to use. There is some information convicted people will not tell us, thus choking the due process. We only want to make the court system more efficient. Only IMPORTANT information, such as criminal/dangerous contacts with other people and associates of the crime. -William S. Frost 7th district of Kragusrov |

| Message | We would support Article 1 to prevent repeat crimes, but we will not support Article 2 under any circumstance. Individual rights is one of the fundamental beliefs on the Orange Party. |

| Message | We do agree with the OP. Individual rights are saint! |
| Date | 17:00:50, February 01, 2009 CET | From | National Equality Party | To | Debating the Fight Crime with Intelligence |
| Message | We too would support article 1, but we're still unsure of article 2. It has too many what if's attached to it. If the proposal is removed, we will support the bill. |
