Bill: Military and Police Separation
Details
Submitted by[?]: Progressive Conservatives
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: May 3218
Description[?]:
| We suggest that our police and armed forces should be totally independent and separate from each other. Our police should be responsible for law and order in-country while our armed forces should be responsible for defence out-of-country. Our armed forces shouldn't have an active role in-country unless operations reach our shores - and even in that case - shouldn't have power over private citizens. |
