| Message | If the SWP is happy to proceed with this bill, we will put it to vote asap. |

| Message | Our plan for the maintenance of law and order and the application of justice in Dorvik is not perhaps one that requires a conventional police force. We put forward a proposition for the establishment of a paramilitary style cooperative police body of willing parties to look after these duties. Before this organization is created we should contribute a charter of law and responsibility that this organization adheres to until it satisfies all parties. We will support the UPSC's proposal on the implication on regional courts only and feel this aspect should be highlighted specifically in its administration of justice upon the implication of a new police body in its corresponding charter. |

| Message | The SWP took specific consideration of the cost factors incurred with establishing the administration of justice with our above proposal in our most recent budget. The cutback in our military spending also means ample military surplus can be used to arm a new police body rather then falling into potentially unsafe hands. |

| Message | Can we substitute police with people militia? |
| Date | 16:19:40, September 07, 2009 CET | From | United People's Socialist Collectives | To | Debating the Justice Reform 2 |
| Message | We, like the SWP, feel the court system is of particular importance. The UPSC think the proposed bill allows enough flexibility to allow community level justice with civilian based enforcers. |
| Date | 08:24:23, September 08, 2009 CET | From | Dorvik Worker's Party | To | Debating the Justice Reform 2 |
| Message | We have stated what we will accept in terms of a police body. Proletariat: If our current law is The government does not operate or fund any police. and we propose a bill stating in great detail a new paramilitary organisation responsible for justice across Dorvik and add it to the RP laws should that not suffice? |
