“It is a terrifying vision of the future - a robot police officer with dark eyes and no discernible mouth that can identify criminals and collect evidence.”

Ho ho ho!

Oppose robots and the blood will be on your hands. You will be blamed for all crime, all violence. They will keep waving the bloody flag, just like they do now against gun rights.

So long as it is only local governments in control of the bots and a federal government to defend your civil rights, all will be well. But if we don’t straighten up constitutional interpretation drastically and quickly, we are doomed.

We need the Liberty Amendments, and we need other protections against central power as well.

The Dubai government wants robot police to make up 25% of the force by 2030.
