| Whereas, in the status quo, the rights of police officers to search persons or their property is left up to local governments; Whereas, this means the federal government has no direct control over the privacy of its citizens; Whereas, privacy is a right of citizens that must be upheld; and Whereas, the lack of privacy protections makes a security state which exercises total control of its citizens possible in Beluzia, Therefore, we submit the following proposal: |

| Message | The federal government has no authority in policing the rest of Beluzia, let the local governments decide their rules; sometimes authoritarian policies work, sometimes they do not. Let the locals decide, they vote in their local governments directly after all. |
| Date | 14:56:57, December 17, 2015 CET | From | Labour Party | To | Debating the A Bill to Protect the Privacy of Beluzian Citizens |
| Message | We agree with the Confederate Party. The issue of policing should be left with local governments. |
| Date | 19:35:20, December 17, 2015 CET | From | Green Party | To | Debating the A Bill to Protect the Privacy of Beluzian Citizens |
| Message | This is no longer an issue of policing, but rather, an issue of human rights. As a national government, we are responsible for creating laws that best protect the rights of our citizens including our human rights. As of current, we cannot guarantee that our local populace will have their human rights protected. We must protect the right to privacy of our citizens, even if it means creating a slightly stronger federal government. What the other parties believe is essentially not important. What is important are the rights of our citizens. The Confederate Party and the DLP are advocating for a system in which our natural human right to privacy is easily able to be violated. We must close this discrepancy in our nations laws before we are put on trial for abuses against human rights. |
