| Message | Mr. Speaker, Law enforcement agencies require special powers to track and avert acts of terrorism, indulging in buerocratic procedures such as obtaining warrant from court will waste much valued time in the fight against terrorism. - Emfrid Sundberg Parliamentary Leader of TNK |
| Date | 18:42:09, February 11, 2016 CET | From | Oberoende Alternativ (OA) | To | Debating the Restrictions on Police Searches |
| Message | "Mr. Speaker, There is no evidence that any crime or terrorism has ever been prevented by a lack of care and oversight. The real crime here would be the government breaking and entering, quartering, and taking from people who are not suspected of being a criminal. If there is a scream from a building, the police can search it, as this law allows for reasonable grounds. If there is a suspect that is believed to be hiding in a building, the police can call a judge and get a warrant on the spot. I stand with Liberty, and therefore I stand with this bill." - Gustaf Westerwel Premiärminister of Telamon |
