It's like RoboCop, except the robots are villains helping human villains villain more comprehensively.

Doest matter if they're shitty, they're both doing surveillance on the public, and normalizing having robots roaming around 'policing' you.

Literally tomorrow they could just start detecting your skin tone and start alerting ICE that you need to be deported. Ya think when ICE shows up they're gonna listen to you as you state your case? Nah, the bot told us you're an immigrant about to commit a crime.
