| Message | Well, I believe Article 1 is fine as it is now - how can it be a violation of civil rights if no one is forced to do it? And of course they are not free, so we do not lose money. I would gladly vote for changing Article 2 on the condition that life sentences are possible for major / violent crimes. So I must vote no for now. |

| Message | We would support life sentences however believe everyone should have the chance to be released after a certain time if they no longer pose a danger to the public. We feel having an ID card system in place can be costly and unnecessary even if people themselves have to pay for them and also fear that even a voluntary system is open to abuse and can potentially constitute a slippery slope towards unwanted intrusion into people's private lives. |

| Message | on A:1 we do not agree as it's on voluntary basis your are not required to carry them. But sometimes like then you want to take out money from a bank inside it you must have it for security reasons. |
