Bill: Policing for the People
Details
Submitted by[?]: Beluzian Jamahiriya Revival
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: February 3646
Description[?]:
| No civilised, democratic nation should ever consider sending armed troops to kill its own people. If there was ever widespread violent unrest, this would suggest that the government had lost all legitimacy, and the use of the military in such a situation would be deplorable. This being the case, we propose the logical step that these values are enshrined in law. |

| Random fact: Any RP law granting extraordinary "emergency powers" or dictator-like powers to a government must be passed by at least a 2/3rds majority, but (like all RP laws) may always be overturned by a simple majority vote of the legislature. |
