San Francisco police have come up with a new policy allowing them to kill suspects using robots – a first for the city and a potential milestone in law enforcement’s deepening relationship with machines.
The policy, part of a broader set of rules around use of law enforcement equipment, is set to go before the San Francisco Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, Nov. 29, Mission Local reported.
Robots under the policy would “only be used as a deadly force option when risk of loss of life to members of the public or officers is imminent and outweighs any other force option available.” Police could use robots while apprehending suspects, during “critical incidents,” and while executing warrants, the policy states.

Yeah Robots are cool and all but I wanted high tech battle armor to wipe out the criminal scum from the streets.
Another question, if you “kill” a robo-cop was a crime committed? Other than destruction of property, not murder.
”Hey, Robo-Dumbass...”
police robots? what could possibly go wrong? /s
I don’t think you can ever delagate human judgement to a machine, even one operated by a human at a safe distance. Cops are highly paid to confront the desperate and have a duty to attempt to de-escalate life and death situations before making a split second decision one way or another to use deadly force. Been there, done that.
Looking forward to armed drones hovering next to the bedroom window for not parking the car in the right spot.
Well, that certainly takes the racism charges off the table. :)

The San Frannies are only 6 years behind Dallas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_shooting_of_Dallas_police_officers
Programmable to go after just ‘certain’ people. Scary.
How long before one of them goes back in time and tries to kill Sarah Conner?
What could possibly go wrong?
Yeah, this sounds like a great idea.
If they get correct guy, else, if they don’t, throw them all into the bay.
Lol!!
I’ll buy THAT for a dollar!
At 2:14 a.m., it becomes self-aware...
Within a year they will be killing jaywalkers.
They’ll have fully woke programming, so that protected categories of criminals are ignored while nasty old white-privileged types are gunned down on sight.
