This is why the Second Amendment exists, and moreover, is why the Second Amendment should (and I believe does) protect the right of citizens to possess armor piercing, anti-materiel, and high explosive weaponry.
I absolutely do not trust law enforcement use of robots in patrol applications.
It’s one thing to use a robot to deal with a bomb, but I will not accept a robot bring used to deal with people.
The potential for abuse is just too high.
You as a citizen deserve to be armed with the equipment necessary to defeat whatever equipment can be brought against you by a tyrannical government.
If they deploy robots against you, you should have weapons capable of destroying robots.
That reminds me to take my ED-209 for a walk. On a leash of course. 🙂
It’s more likely to get shot by a ‘fellow’ officer. 🙂
Reality: It’s uses are going to be so limited and operation time-consuming/complicated enough that it will stay boxed up in a trunk 99% of the time except for photo ops or a technophile office wanting to play w/ it.
At least I won’t feel guilty yeeting that mechanical dog… its kinda creepy …
And I’m guessing its name is Brillo?
