The Huntington Park Police Department is set to unveil "HP RoboCop," the latest tool in the force's arsenal that will keep an electronic eye on public areas, the city of Huntington Park announced in a news release.
The device is "an autonomous data machine that is meant to serve outdoors," that will use 360-degree HD video footage to "act as an extra set of eyes and monitor areas such as parks, city buildings and corridors where police might not have the time to consistently patrol," the release said.
The city released a video of HP RoboCop rolling down a sidewalk, making electronic sounds and at one point even saying, "Good day to you."

Just plain stupid.
It will be used by the area’s riflemen for target practice, from afar.
Big Brother is Watching You.
And has been since forever.
I’d like to see them put Robo Cop in the slums and tent cities of Los Angeles.
Poor Robo. Wouldn’t last a day.
It’s going to spray painted more likely.
Monitoring public areas sound OK to me.
Monitoring private areas would not be acceptable.
I suppose they figure it’s been long enough since the last catastrophic failure.

maybe it can be reassigned to patrol the House of “Representatives”
So they spent a ton of money to put an HD camera on wheels?
If memory serves, “Good day to you” is one of the things the Mr. Handys at the Galleria say while they are trying kill us.
Why do they need a robo cop? Nobody goes to jail for crimes in CA anyway? Is it just a means to issue revenue-generating tickets?
"I am now authorized to use physical force."
It will get stolen the first day...
What they need is ED 203.
“”” and at one point even saying, “Good day to you.” “””
So basically the same personality as a mounty?
Goigle Crimeview
You wont be poking fun when you can access video like this to ID the lowlife who stole your wallet.
We are talking about Huntington Park, it is a shithole gang infested haven of Illegal Aliens. Should be armed and Full Auto if they were serious.
