Do these people never watch movies? We know how this ends, it goes -
Twenty seconds to comply!
Then everyone dies.

All the things the cops would want this bot to do are prohibited by rules or by the potential for public outrage; no facial recognition, no offensive capabilities, it's basically just a camera drone. But that will change when the rules change, or when people stop paying attention... if this thing can avoid being trashed for more then ten minutes after it's deployed.
30 0 ReplyYeah I’m waiting for the article about it being pushed onto the tracks.
25 0 ReplyThis was my first thought, too. This thing is gonna get hit by a train.

How long until it shoots the first black person? Place your bets now.
16 0 ReplySo a security camera on wheels
15 0 ReplyMaybe this ridiculous thing will eventually replace some of the worst or most useless human cops... in twenty years, after a few billion tax dollars, just before their union neuters the project and renders it virtually useless. Think of the possibilities!

Robocop needs to ease up on the Robodonuts.
14 0 ReplyUh, how is it better than a security camera? Can it dispense pepper spray or chase dudes up stairs?
14 0 ReplyWell, you see this uses up a far larger chunk of the pointlessly huge police budget. I'm sure they'll also figure out a way for it to kill people soon.

Patrolling in what way? Just being there is not a deterrent for a damn thing.
14 0 ReplyIt has cameras and can follow people or raise alarm. It won't take long until someone shoves it onto train tracks, though.
13 0 ReplyOkay, so criminals are like "It saw us with our masks on. We have 10 minutes to get out of here...". Not a great deterrent.
3 0 ReplyYa, my immediate though is this things going to get annihilated somehow quick. Throw on a hat and big sunglasses, push it into the tracks, bye bye.

4 0 ReplyCan even security robots prevent anything?
Is it just fancy CCTV?
4 0 ReplyCCTV that can follow people, raise an alarm, and be shoved in front of an incoming train when it does. A cleaning robot would have been more useful.
