Robot Cops Are Real 

+Titty Mcgee This is the funniest thing I've read all day.

no if the robot suddenly could not monitor anything it would alert the guards.

And stairs.

Hilarious! This is when a human comes out to rescue the blinded device!

LMAO #S/-\\//-\GE

Only in America

They would plant 50 guns. Then claim the robots life was in dangers.

Pretty much

So true. And it's looks cool.

Ian Sun

I agree

Oh look public fines.

@@jackreacher2914 good. He deserves to be killed like one.

+Robert Briggs The way I look at it is this. It is another tool to keep criminals in line. Criminals look for opportunity, as they discussed above. These robots take that away by being able to record and report suspicious activity. Once the combined data is all synced up and processed they will be able to better predict that activity. I think they should avoid adding in any actual deterrents (tasers, non lethal firearms, etc...), but having that presence is key. A mall in my area had a problem with abductions of young women. Not kids, actual young women. It was a nightmare and they had to increase their security to stop it. Imagine if these robots had been patrolling the halls and they knew about a few problem areas. They don't need breaks and never have to close their "eyes." They can watch those problem areas 24/7 if need be.

Masked criminals smash car into robot rendering it immobile...Rape, plunder and pillage at will! The fact is, there are cameras everywhere and criminals could care less! The police STILL have to be notified, and by the time they get on scene, the bad guys are gone!

smart guns are a failure, just as this machine

deff

Save lives!

a great example of smart people spending too much time on whether they could do something and not enough time on whether they should.

Ya, ram a car into it. Done.

They can't swim - one of them just topped itself in a fountain in Washington DC.

Robocide why?

No because one just drowned itself

Mark Apsolon nope one knightscope drowned itself in a mall fountain

Hervi Namuco That one is still alright its name was steve they have names

There likely will be both in place

+Kent A. Vander Velden How are these things oppressing anyone? By recording a public space looking for criminal activity? Cameras do the same thing. Are you gonna tell me that we shouldn't have cameras in retail or public spaces? They aren't programmed to come at you, and they don't even have the capacity to do so. They aren't going to follow you home and force entry to your private space. I ask again, how does this oppress anyone?

+sonomakid Do you believe that we have insufficient, enough, or too many cameras in public spaces? (Forget retail)

If they do not act as a deterrent to criminal activity then not enough. If they do, then we have enough. I'm not sure what we would determine to be too much. Perhaps when there is too much input for a guard to process? That is the point of public spaces though, they are public. I don't expect, nor should I have, privacy in those spaces. If I want privacy I can stay at home.

+sonomakid That seems a very logical argument. The fear of public spaces and the promise of safety through surveillance is an easy way to sell continuous surveillance. Additional cameras will be easier after the first batch because the public has accepted the idea. Creative people will think of new uses for ubiquitous cameras, and creative people want to demonstrate their creativity, perhaps without considering how their idea might be evolved. Traffic cameras first offered to serve as witness to accidents and then became speed cameras. You may be OK with that, and that's fine. When public surveillance is absolute, and crime still exists, the separation of public and private will have eroded further. We already have lots of cameras in our homes. There are six cameras, three microphones, and two Internet enabled GPS units on my desk, counting those in phones, laptop, etc (and I'm probably missing some.) There are already companies who monitor their remote employees using the camera on their corporate laptop. That apparently is OK to some as well, after all, many have cameras on them through their work shift in brick-and-mortar locations already. Oppression is not just about forcefully entering people's homes or otherwise laying hands on them. Oppression is also anxiety created by continuous monitoring with fear of anything they do or say being taken out of context or infringement of the rules automatically met with punishment. The slippery slope leads to recording everyone, everywhere, and continuously (re-)mining it for rule infringement and for marketing information.

Kent A. Vander Velden An excellent point. I guess I personally have never felt that anxiety, and as such have no frame of reference personally to have resonated with your initial comment. I definitely see where you are coming from now, and that makes a lot of sense. My personal feeling currently is that I would never worry about being recorded in public as I do not do anything that warrants some sort of backlash from the powers that be. However, after reading through your explanation it does appear that we need to draw some sort of line. Who is to say that 10, 20, or 30 years from now something I do every day won't be considered illegal, or if not illegal, publicly shameful. At that point I will wish that someone had throttled back on surveillance. Of course by then we both know it will be too late. Very intriguing, and something to think about. Thank you.

+Gregory Leon I had the same thought. Oh, she's such a nerd! She probably skimmed one whole episode of Doctor Who! They only say the freaking word 2000 times throughout the new series alone.

She thinks its hip to be a nerd 🤣🤣🤣

their name is the doctor, not doctor who!

***** Because they might take over the world?

I just had to say LOL! on your avatar coupled with your username :-)

Freaking hipster Daleks.

Ah so i see your a man of wisdom , lmao but seriously i have been going from videos to videos to just find this comment lmaoo

Right, I need one of these for my wrench costume now!

it is a trashcan with cameras what is it gonna do shoot me?

+PoliticalSmackdown Let me put it this way. they have omni-directional vision, making the abduction of one impossible without being positively identified

Ever hear of a mask and a blanket? you must be new at this

people are gonna be knocking these over at every turn

PoliticalSmackdown Ever heard of a taser. You will

Really bad situation I hope people start protesting this shit soon

Nope, it actually makes many IT jobs. It does however remove all that min wage slave labor, that it does.

save it for when you need it. every offensive move against them they will make them design more anti-human. better to save up all those techniques at once for when the singularity or sudden grip, comes.

or if I beat one with a baseball bat and got away without even driving but had a mask on? they look slow.

philip teal. Yes , you've just got away with some crime. Its that easy. Robot have useless video. Hahaha !

Good point. This is why they need integrated tasers.

lmao

daphoenixto they just said it doesn’t take jobs...lol
