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.

Whatsit_Tooya ,

Yeah I’m waiting for the article about it being pushed onto the tracks.

Hopefully within the first week.

This was my first thought, too. This thing is gonna get hit by a train.

Give it a minute little frogs, this is them initially turning the burner on under the pot. It’s gonna get warmer.

Uh, how is it better than a security camera? Can it dispense pepper spray or chase dudes up stairs?

Astroturfed ,

Well, 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.

So basically a $5 dollar can of spray paint and it’s back to being worth it’s weight in scrap

Why do I get phycho pass vibes from this thing?

I bet if you break this thing you will get charged with assault on an officer

I’m gonna push that offbrand baymax onto the tracks.

Do these people never watch movies? We know how this ends, it goes -

Twenty seconds to comply!

Then everyone dies.

This one is even dumber, it just goes twenty seconds to comply and then become a $20 webcam (for $9/hour of taxpayer funds)

LemmyFeed , to technology in An NYPD security robot will be patrolling the Times Square subway station

Don’t they know what we do robots here in America?

TheOSINTguy ,

Didn’t the bot get beheaded?

just_another_person , to technology in An NYPD security robot will be patrolling the Times Square subway station

Patrolling in what way? Just being there is not a deterrent for a damn thing.

ChaoticNeutralCzech ,

It has cameras and can follow people or raise alarm. It won’t take long until someone shoves it onto train tracks, though.

The robot is gonna fall into a bad crowd soon after being deployed.

SilentCal ,

Imagine paying a robot’s company $9 an hour for it to get HitchBot-Ed or mugged like a food delivery bot by anyone who owns a facemask

just_another_person ,

Okay, so criminals are like “It saw us with our masks on. We have 10 minutes to get out of here…”. Not a great deterrent.

Astroturfed ,

Ya, 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.

It would be a real shame if something bad were to happen to it.

I’ll be waiting for the news of when it gets destroyed by someone.

Ryantific_theory ,

You mean, waiting for news when it gets isekai’d after someone pushes it in front of a train lol.

@marrenia@astraea.pink avatar

I’m waiting for it to end up beat up with baseball bats and dumped in a fountain

DragonTypeWyvern ,

…

Damn you
