As Early as 2016, Robot Cops Will Be Patrolling Your Streets
April 07, 2015

By 2016, there will likely be a 6-foot tall police robot patrolling the streets and handing out parking tickets. The Telebot, developed by Florida International University’s Discovery Lab, has been field-tested and is undergoing final tune up.
With a swiveling head and dexterous fingers, the humanoid robot is controlled remotely by a person wearing an Oculus Rift headset and motion-tracking vest, arm bands, and gloves. The voice of the remote operator is transmitted through the robot to the unfortunate citizen on the receiving end.
The menacing look of Telebot is no accident. Its design is one “…that can intimidate and display a sense of authority.”

I suspect that many people wouldn't have a difficult time fighting back against a robot, while many of these same people would not fight back against a human cop.

I wonder if it would shoot me in the back 8 times for a parking infraction?

It would be able to kill you efficiently in only 1 or 2 shots, saving on bullets for the state, it wouldn't Fire extra bullets because it is afraid, excited or for fun. Further it won't hesitate to shoot you like a small minority of police officers might because they have a moral code.

It will simply be a better cop!

Cops with a moral code? I doubt it. More like they have a penal code...
