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.
Fat Dalek.
That is a fat Dalek.

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

Eggcelent. We eagerly await the completion of your grand project.
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)
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.
Yeah I’m waiting for the article about it being pushed onto the tracks.
This was my first thought, too. This thing is gonna get hit by a train.
Hopefully within the first week.
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.
I bet if you break this thing you will get charged with assault on an officer
So basically a $5 dollar can of spray paint and it’s back to being worth it’s weight in scrap

Didn’t the bot get beheaded?
Uh, how is it better than a security camera? Can it dispense pepper spray or chase dudes up stairs?
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 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!
Patrolling in what way? Just being there is not a deterrent for a damn thing.
“Please scan this code to install the self-arrest app. If you are a first-offender, remember to also create an account.”
It has cameras and can follow people or raise alarm. It won’t take long until someone shoves it onto train tracks, though.
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.

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.
Inb4 someone gets charged with assaulting an officer for drawing a dick on a robot
I’m going to steal it.
I’m gonna put my dick in it
I already did
👀
Robocop needs to ease up on the Robodonuts.
People are going to draw so many dicks on that boi.
How long until it shoots the first black person? Place your bets now.
Are we even taking bets that don’t say the word “month” in them?
