| Message | It's simply insane that we do not have a police force, either at the national or local level. |
| Date | 21:45:20, March 31, 2016 CET | From | Socialist Party of Kalistan (SPoK) | To | Debating the Police Force Creation Act |
| Message | We have found that the police do more harm than good in Kalistan. The current policy is not insane: it is the result of prioritizing the civil liberties of Kalistani Citizens over the interests of the State and over the interests of Property. |
| Date | 21:56:00, March 31, 2016 CET | From | National Conservative Party | To | Debating the Police Force Creation Act |
| Message | The police, provided they are suitably restrained by due process and there is a proper emphasis on civil liberties, are not more harm than good for a society. There must be law and order; the absence of a police force merely invites chaos and lawbreaking. Preserving peace and security for citizens is not in the interests of the State or of Property - it is in the common popular interest. |
| Date | 22:00:14, March 31, 2016 CET | From | Socialist Party of Kalistan (SPoK) | To | Debating the Police Force Creation Act |
| Message | We respectfully disagree that a police force is necessary to maintain order. But that is the last thing we need to say on it. Our votes will stand. |

In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
