Well, Aren't You The Cutest Little Robot?

Police Robots Are A Privacy Nightmare. When Nikki Black linked to the EFF article about the new wave of police robots, I thought, what a cute little guy. It looks like a Conehead grown up. What harm could this guy do? Well, the robots of the future may not have Dalex like gun arms, and they certainly won't go around screaming: "Exterminate"; but, they will be little spies that report on human activity that they deem suspicious. How exactly, will I cross examine this thing? If we want to avoid a "Big Brother" future, we really need to regulate these things. Sometimes, I think that being an old man is a blessing.
