| Message | Why? Please elaborate on your positions. 1) Order needs to be able to be maintained in a state of emergency. Anything less than that the government can't do its job of protecting its citizens. 2) A DNA bank is a very efficient way to solve crime. How is this unnecessary state power? It is a measure enacted to protect the citizens of Aldegar. 3)Not allowing the police to carry lethal weapons leaves the police unable to fight crime, and will increase the mortality rates of police officers. 4) Why take the police from public property? 5) The prisoners are a burden on society and should pay at least for a portion of their upkeep. They shouldn't work for a wage even. |
