Bill: Better Police Bill
Details

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 4021
Description[?]:
| We give police too many weapons and responsibilities and things are more likely to go wrong when this happens. Our bill will not remove the ability of police to defend themselves but make it less likely for people to get hurt. It will also keep our citizens safer by having a local police force that's easier to get to. |

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
