Robotic dogs and bionic beat cops will be deployed to help fight crime in New York City starting this summer, Mayor Eric Adams said

The police ‘digidogs’ are remote-controlled, four-legged units that can climb stairs and could be used to approach barricaded suspects.

The New York Police Department will use more robots to fight crime,The initiative includes the deployment of a “K5” unit in Times Square that will help beat officers with surveillance. The city also acquired two robotic dogs—which the NYPD calls “Digidogs”—that will be used at incidents such as hostage situations, officials said. Another device will shoot tracking devices onto suspect vehicles.

Playing with fire

finally!!

Can't wait for the Rick and morty episode where robot dogs take control of the earth

These dogs are going to be called racist because they disproportionately have to deal with minorities

Can I hack it?

That’s it. Waste more tax payer money instead of actually doing something that would work. Like keeping the criminals in jail

It was only a matter of time. AI will change everything. Fact

Mmmmm

What could possibly go wrong

I'm sure we'd be seeing 'Do robot dogs dance to bionic beats?' if Philip K Dick were still around.

Have they not seen the movies? This never ends well.

What can they do? 😄

Does the robot dog use the brain of a dead policeman to connect the machine like in the movie?

How long before they’re stolen and held for ransom …

The robot will be considered automatically racist

I knew this would happen eventually. Law enforcement will be conducted by machines.

Worth a summer trip to NYC to see some robot dogs

Robots will not be liable for the murder of innocent civilians. This is the only reason for them.

So it begins.

I do not like

A robot dog and a dalek are a waste of resources and time. Two things that NYC definitely doesn't have time for.

Those wouldn't last a day. Find a better way to spend our money.

Can be disabled with 5 mtrs of cargo netting.

This picture looks like 15 minutes into an end of days type movie…

👎👎👎

I for one welcome our new robot overlords

Progressives doing progressive things.

Geezuz.

Listen I’ve seen robocop this does not end well

This is gonna go badly and I’m gonna laugh

Exactly how long does Adams think anything from Boston is going to last in New York City?

This is a huge story. Robotic dogs. IN NYC!!!

Sure Jan

Isn’t this the same force that historically has abused power, and trampled civil right

Put guns on them put guns on them put guns on them put guns on them put guns on them put guns on them put guns on them put guns on them put guns on them put guns on them put guns on them put guns on them put guns on them put guns on them put guns on them put guns on them put guns

What could possibly go wrong?

Other cities will do the same. Here we go 🙃

Can’t wait til the bionic dogs end up being racist and have to go to sensitivity classes.

Black mirror strikes again!

How will they work?

I mean what could go wrong? Lol 😂 Eric Adams worst person to be over their head since they asked Milli Vannili to actually sing 🎶

Just imagine having a Robotic mayor instead. How peaceful NY will become.

Put an AI in charge, call in skynet, fuck it, let's just jump to the end

Does it work?

WTAF?

'Housebroken or will they be leaving little batteries all over the floor?'

…”in Gotham City”…..”Commissioner Gordan”… Fixed it.

No armed robots

Another thing to get pushed off a subway platform? 🤦‍♀️

'Romania and Ukraine two sad neighbours'

defund the living cops, replace them with bots. it all makes sense now

Will be deployed against the will of the people...cops love their weapons, and they love making the public pay for them even more.

The L.A. City Council will vote whether or not on this issue. Honestly, it is a waste of tax-payer’s money on unnecessary material items that DO NOT help our communities! The city should focus on social and community development, including employment!

I wonder how long it will take for someone to claim the robots are racist.

Haha The criminals are running the streets there. They will get stolen or shot at.

This AI robot from GPT, must be amazing and scary talking to being human.

cool

A little dystopian

A start but more must be done like end cashless bail, tell gov to remove Alvin Braggs & put in DAs that will prosecute criminals to the full extent of the law. Build more prisons. Bring back stop & frisk, hire more police & allow them to be proactive & aggressive by any means.

Very dystopian

Amazing. This will be fun (lawsuit-wise).
