Cali Cops Want The Power To Kill You With Robots (Video)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


We’ve been reporting for some time on the development of killer robots disguised as “law enforcement” for some time now.  We’re now seeing police departments begin advancing the used of such robots.  Yes, we are seeing the beginnings of a real life Terminator reality in its infancy.

Matthew Guariglia reports on the latest out of the San Francisco Police Department and their bloodlust to use robots to kill those they are supposed to serve.

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors will vote soon on a policy that would allow the San Francisco Police Department to use deadly force by arming its many robots. This is a spectacularly dangerous idea and EFF’s stance is clear: police should not arm robots.

Police technology goes through mission creep–meaning equipment reserved only for specific or extreme circumstances ends up being used in increasingly everyday or casual ways. We’ve already seen this with military-grade predator drones flying over protests, and police buzzing by the window of an activist’s home with drones.

As the policy is currently written, the robots’ use will be governed by this passage:

 “The robots listed in this section shall not be utilized outside of training and simulations, criminal apprehensions, critical incidents, exigent circumstances, executing a warrant or during suspicious device assessments. Robots will only be used as a deadly force option when risk of loss of life to members of the public or officers is imminent and outweighs any other force option available to SFPD.”

This is incredibly broad language. Police could bring armed robots to every arrest, and every execution of a warrant to search a house or vehicle or device. Depending on how police choose to define the words “critical” or “exigent,” police might even bring armed robots to a protest. While police could only use armed robots as deadly force when the risk of death is imminent, this problematic legal standard has often been under-enforced by courts and criticized by activists.

The combination of new technology, deadly weapons, tense situations, and a remote control trigger is a very combustible brew.

This occurs as many police departments have imported the use of robots from military use into regular policing procedures, and now fight to arm those robots.

In October 2022, the Oakland police department proposed a similar policy to arm robots. Following public outrage, the plans were scrapped within a week.

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors will be voting on whether to pass this bill on first reading at their November 29, 2022 meeting, which begins at 2pm. You can find an email contact for your Board of Supervisors member here, and determine which Supervisor to contact here. Please tell them to oppose this. Here’s text you can use (or edit):

Do not give SFPD permission to kill people with robots. This broad policy would allow police to bring armed robots to every arrest, and every execution of a warrant to search a house or vehicle or device. Depending on how police choose to define the words “critical” or “exigent,” police might even bring armed robots to a protest. While police could only use armed robots as deadly force when the risk of death is imminent, this problematic legal standard has often been under-enforced by courts and criticized by activists. For the sake of your constituents’ rights and safety, please vote no.

They are already using robots in a variety of ways now.  Here’s how they are using them in China.

Doesn’t that make you feel safe and secure? Or how about realistic looking robots?

And then there is the all seeing eye of Amazon’s robot…

This is the conditioning for what is planned to be put in place. Technology can be a wonderful tool, but when it starts heading down this road, nothing good can come from it.
