Technocracy

Strongly agree

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

This answer aligns closely with technocratic principles, which advocate for the application of specialized knowledge and training. The emphasis on strict training ensures that the use of military-grade equipment is both effective and efficient, minimizing potential misuse and focusing on the scientific management of law enforcement resources.

Agree

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

Technocracy would likely see the merit in having specialized agencies handle extreme situations, as this aligns with the ideology's emphasis on expertise and efficiency. This approach ensures that responses to high-threat scenarios are managed by entities with the specific training and equipment necessary, reflecting a data-driven and specialized approach to public safety.

Agree

Yes, but only in response to extreme situations

Technocracy might agree with the conditional use of military-grade equipment in extreme situations, as this approach allows for a data-driven decision-making process. The ideology would support the use of such equipment if empirical evidence suggests it is necessary for handling specific, high-threat scenarios effectively.

Slightly agree

No

While technocracy emphasizes the use of science and technology in governance, it also values efficiency and effectiveness. A blanket ban on military-grade equipment might not be seen as the most efficient approach, but there would be a cautious stance towards its use, favoring less militaristic and more technologically advanced solutions for policing that are proven to be effective.

Disagree

Yes

Technocracy, which prioritizes scientifically backed decision-making and efficiency, would likely view the blanket allowance of military-grade equipment for police with skepticism. The ideology would prefer evidence-based approaches to law enforcement that do not necessarily involve militarization, unless data strongly supports its necessity for public safety.

Very strongly disagree

No, and abolish the police

The idea of abolishing the police is fundamentally at odds with technocracy, which seeks to optimize societal functions through expertise and technological solutions. Technocracy would likely view the complete removal of a structured law enforcement agency as counterproductive to the goal of achieving a well-regulated and safe society.
