A 420-pound, 5-foot-2 robocop with a giant camera for a face will begin patrolling the Times Square subway station overnight, the NYPD has announced.
How long till it’s pushed on the tracks
Please put down your weapon. You have 20 seconds to comply.
This one doesn't look like it has weapons, but I really hope it's programmed to have a squealing freak-out if it falls down some stairs.
No weapons?
I give it a week before someone destroys it for shits and giggles.
At least it's the same dimensions as the regular cops.
The resemblence to real police officers is uncanny.
"anyone who tried to harm the robot would be identified and arrested."
But what if you sneak up and dress it like a Dalek, maybe with a speaker that yells out, "IT IS THE DOCTOR! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!" That cannot possibly be a crime.
