Message | We believe the government should have the right to carry out surveilance of potentially dangerous individuals, subject to approval of the courts. While we think these powers should be used sparingly, we think they are needed to protect the public from the dangers of terrorism and organised crime. |

Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
