Legal Technicalities

It seems that San Francisco police are making a commendable attempt to eliminate human error from the ranks. A policy document on the use of robots, which originally stipulated that the machines should not be involved in the use of force against persons, was re-written in less woke style to include homicide "when risk of loss of life to members of the public or officers is imminent and outweighs any other force option available to SFPD." The department's robots can be fitted with various implements of law enforcement including shotgun shells, machine guns and grenade launchers; although it remains as yet unclear whether they can reliably distinguish an imminently and unavoidably disposable suspect from a Caucasian.
