| Message | Surely it makes sense for there to be local police forces as each state has different laws as we are a federal republic |

| Message | This will only mean that certain areas will become lawless as there will no longer be a police force. A well-equiped police force is a very expensive thing, so the State should provide for it, not the local governments. In areas with lots of riots and other security problems, this Act would only make matters even worse. |
