I am not sure robots being tasked with intervening in situations with potentially violent persons is such a bad thing. a robot does not need to fear loss of life, it seems like this will be a good thing for discouraging the use of deadly force

I've been watching a bunch of youtube videos about police activities lately and quite often the officers will cite their need to "get home to their family" as an excuse for some seriously unconstitutional behavior. Some officers place their personal safety above all else with law abiding citizens (and, tragically, sometimes victims) paying the price.

I say we have a RoboDog following around every law enforcement officer to record their interactions with citizens and, if possible, protect both sides from harm.
