An NYPD security robot will be patrolling the Times Square subway station::The NYPD is deploying a robot with four cameras to patrol the Times Square subway station.
Inb4 someone gets charged with assaulting an officer for drawing a dick on a robot
So a security camera on wheels
How long until it shoots the first black person? Place your bets now.
Where does the NYPD keep getting these expensive but apparently useless robots?
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.
Can even security robots prevent anything?
Is it just fancy CCTV?
