ROBOCOPS

We are all aware of how robots are changing the ways humans interact.

It is now common to see robots taking pictures, stacking boxes and delivering packages in some places.

But now, it appears they may be also soon be introduced onto roads to stop traffic and ‘improve safety’.

SRI International, an American non-profit organisation, has developed a prototype it calls a “police robot” (yes, a literal robocop) and the intended purpose is to ‘serve as a traffic stop officer’.

The police robot designed by this research institute enables police officers to ‘converse and interact with’ motorists directly from their car.

It is even equipped with spike strips that automatically deploy to deter drivers from speeding away during the interrogations or after being stopped until the protocol is completed:

As the video shows, the bot slides out from the front of the police vehicle and is the first point of contact between the driver and the cop. The driver can show documents and credentials to the camera attached to the bot. Then, if the officer decides to issue a ticket, it will be printed from the body of the robot.

Could you image getting a fine printed to you like an ATM receipt? Sheesh.

According to the developers: “With such dangerous interactions between people, maybe it’s time to send a robot in between them, one that can’t hurt or be hurt”.

Always for ‘safety and security’. Aren’t police trained and paid to deal with these situations.

Anyway, from the video, it is clear that the police robot is operated from the police vehicle without the cop stepping out. The bot is equipped with a camera and is attached to a rod that extends forward from an officer’s car to the motorist’s window, without either leaving their vehicles.

This ensures “a seamless issuance of traffic tickets”.

This new ‘innovation’ followed Dubai unveiling what it says is “the world’s first autonomous police robot”, one that will “help identify wanted criminals and collect evidence”.

Wearing a police cap and moving on wheels, the robot features a computer touch-screen on its chest that can be used to report a crime or inquire about speeding tickets.

Of course, the reasoning of this is to automate the workforce by.. you guessed it.. 2030.

In something you would envision as the plot of a science fiction tale, technological advancements are allowing for a world in which robocops actually are attempting to become a reality.

This progression is natural once you understand how the military-industrial-complex has already worked for years to incorporate robotic ‘servers’ into their projects, and even, their ranks.

The police are just following the larger powers in suit.

‘SERVING MACHINES’

Leading military contractors corporations have been competing to develop the best AI robots for the better part of half a decade now, from when quantum computing began to move into a new era.

While the police are just beginning to look into robotic workforces, the army are already there.

DARPA, and their partners like Boston Dynamics, have even released videos of army ‘robot assistants’ that can scale terrain, track targets and even shoot at potential enemies if needed:

Many designs exist, including fighting soldiers, hunting robots, or carriers of supplies (as seen below):

And this is what they release to the public, mind you.

Who knows what they have behind closed doors, not to mention how technologies like drones would completely change the face of any ‘war’ if it were to be announced.

Indeed, as strange as it sounds, we could very well soon end up in a world where robotic officers print our tickets and patrol smart city zones 24/7 to ensure that all rules are adhered too.

And it makes sense that they would be going in this direction.

With the immoral conundrum that will come from having to enforce the anti-human policies to be implemented under the Agenda 2030 vision, what better way to ensure that your soldiers and police will always follow orders.. then to make them robots!

No conscious, no regret for their actions. The perfect fighting machines.

The police are only one bounced check from throwing in the towel, whereas these machines can operate around the clock with no objections whatsoever.

Take me back to the days where the only Robocop around was the one saving Sting in the steel cage!
