| Message | Executions should always be carried out in public as a warning to prospective wrongdoers. The police should only search someone's property with a warrant however if they have sufficient reason to suspect a person of wrongdoing they should search that person. There should be police presence in all the major tourist destinations and other points of interest to ensure citizen safety. Legal aid for low income wrongdoers is a definite yes. The police should only arrest wrongdoers. I stand with the proposals in everything else. |
