Where does the NYPD keep getting these expensive but apparently useless robots?

stealth_cookies ,

How long until it drowns itself?

PersnickityPenguin ,

Oh my God they look like a white Dalek!

Diplomjodler ,

How long until it shoots the first black person? Place your bets now.

Harpsist ,

Are we even taking bets that don’t say the word “month” in them?

boatsnhos931 ,

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

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.

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

…

Damn you

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.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Hopefully within the first week.

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

prohibited by the potential for public outrage

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

reverendsteveii ,

Inb4 someone gets charged with assaulting an officer for drawing a dick on a robot

PostmodernPythia ,

People are going to draw so many dicks on that boi.

dan80 ,

Basically a protecton. Make sure to have metro tickets on you.

just_another_person ,

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.

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.

Player2 ,

So a security camera on wheels

Maybe 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!

I already did

Hmmm I wonder if anyone has ever hacked a police department by requesting all the bodycam footage and watching an authentication happen.
