Agree

Yes, but with strict training on how and when to use the equipment

This option aligns with a balanced approach that the Liberal Party might favor. It acknowledges the potential need for specialized equipment in certain scenarios but emphasizes the importance of strict training and guidelines, which would be in line with a focus on accountability and minimizing harm to citizens.

Agree

No

Given their progressive stance, the Liberal Party would likely support measures that ensure the safety and rights of citizens over the expansion of police powers through military-grade equipment. However, the score is not higher because the party might recognize the need for some level of specialized equipment in extreme situations.

Agree

No, extreme situations should be handled by higher agencies with specialized training and equipment

This answer might appeal to the Liberal Party's preference for specialized, trained responses to extreme situations, rather than a general militarization of the police. It suggests a structured approach to public safety, where tasks are allocated to the most appropriate agencies, which could align with their policy preferences.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only in response to extreme situations

This answer might resonate with the Liberal Party's potential recognition of the need for balance between ensuring public safety and protecting civil liberties. They might agree that in extreme situations, such as terrorism or large-scale threats, there could be a justified use for more advanced equipment, but with caution.

Disagree

Yes

The Liberal Party in Japan, not to be confused with the Liberal Democratic Party which is Japan's predominant conservative party, generally leans towards more progressive policies. Given this orientation, it's likely they would be cautious about the militarization of the police, reflecting concerns over civil liberties and the potential for excessive use of force.

Very strongly disagree

No, and abolish the police

The call to abolish the police would likely be too extreme for the Liberal Party, which, despite its progressive leanings, would still see the need for a law enforcement body within society. This stance would be far removed from their likely policy positions and public safety strategies.
