ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- It's midnight on the streets of Atlanta, and bar owner Rufus Terrill patrols his neighborhood with a rolling crime fighter of his own creation. Meet "Bum-bot," as Terrill describes it; others in his neighborhood call it simply, "Robocop."
1 of 2 It's a barbecue smoker mounted on a three-wheeled scooter, and armed with an infrared camera, spotlight, loudspeaker and aluminum water cannon that shoots a stream of icy water about 20 feet.
Operated by remote control, the robot spotlights trespassers on property down the street from his bar, O'Terrill's. Using a walkie-talkie, Terrill belts out through the robot's loudspeaker, "That's private property. You guys need to get out of here."
Terrill is chasing out unsavory-looking characters from a street corner that resembles a drug dealer's dream at night. More than 20 suspicious people were seen huddling in the dark in the front driveway and side parking lot on this night. Some were seen openly making drug deals

I wonder if they’ll bury it with him.
lets hear it for American Ingenuity at its finest!!!!
ROFLMAO
If it no longer cooks BBQ then it’s a bad trade off.
Someone dealer will steal it and use it to ferry his sainted auntie to buy lotto tickets.
” I think the issue is homeless people. They are being confused with the folks who prey on them and sell them drugs,” she says.”
Replace the water cannon with a chain gun and it’ll be good to go!
No I have a better idea.
Put a skunk in a cage on top!
LOL!
Cool.
Cockroaches and other vermin come out at night. I’m sure he’s complained before but apparently nothing happens. Don’t surveillance on these dope dealing scum, don’t push them out, file on them, nothing. Signs of today’s PC cops and “homeless” advocates.
I wonder if they’ve created Continuing Ed classes on Homeless Sensitivity.
Poor Johnny was just trying to make a living and was scared by the mean vigilante.
Poor Jill wants money because she was taped as she performed for her client.
This is great. The Atlanta police sure don't seem to have time to stop the crime in this area. I'm glad someone cares.
