| Message | Anyways, under grave emergencies most law officials would ignore the law. If there was a nuclear bomb somewhere in Astoria City about to go off, do you think the sheriff would follow protocol? Highly unlikely. This bill allows us to have our cake and eat it too. |

| Message | But he should and will be prosecuted for not following protocol afterwards. Are you promoting a police state? |

| Message | In kidnapping cases it should be allowed to perform torture to get information out on the destination of people. (ooc: it is not my real life stance, but it could have helped in those detraux cases in belgium, and as i understand there is a case happening in liege right now) sad but true :-( |
