What a messed up world we live in when the cops can send a robot into your house and if you attempt to defend yourself from it you get arrested.

A warrant you say?? We don't need no stinkin' warrant.

Let's not forget the flying killer robots.

So I'm wondering, if I have my own robot which defends against the POLICE robot, is that still a crime?

YES! Your robot will have to go to robot prison.

This thread reminds me of this one.

As time goes on there probably will be more just like this, but different endings. The police shoot you instead.

Oh come on, it was a 6 hour stand off. The info just sucks.

The standoff began late Saturday, just before midnight Sunday, after Waverly police responded to a call alleging Michael Blevins had been making threats and had fired a gun inside his home on the 600 block of Walnut Street, Pike County Prosecutor Rob Junk said.

First off, the guy sounds like a retard, second I hate to think my neighbors could get pissed and do the same to me.

This still doesn't explain the issue with the robot.

I think, if a robot enters your home, there's a transfer of property rights that happens. It no longer is the police's robot. The robot becomes your robot. If you want to shoot your own robot, inside your own home, you should have that right.

Pete that was my point. We really don't know anything other than people calling the cops for "alleging" he shoot a gun in his house and making threats. You, me, the forum wasn't there. My guess he's white trash, because he let it get to that point, and there again it's MY opinion.

Okay, so why did he let the robot in?

Then how did it get in?

Someone kicks my door in I'm firing, PERIOD.

Put the robot in the bathtub and stick tape over its eyes. Or just lock it in a closet :)

It broke the door down, no way an interior door will hold it back. I do like the tub idea, stick it in there and turn on the water.
