Bill: Separation of police and military
Details
Submitted by[?]: Liberty Party
Status[?]: defeated
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: August 2174
Description[?]:
| In order to limit the extent to which the State can oppress the citizenry, there should be a clear division between the police and military. Nonetheless, we acknowledge that there are times when a serious public emergency (say disease epidemic, or a strike by police officers) may require the support of the military. However, we propose that under these circumstances the following safeguards be put into place (as was once the case): 1. On occasions where the military is supporting the police, ultimate authority resides with the police service, not the military. 2. Any military personnel involved are subject to standard police codes of conduct rather than military. |
