All the things the cops would want this bot to do are prohibited by rules or by the potential for public outrage; no facial recognition, no offensive capabilities, it's basically just a camera drone. But that will change when the rules change, or when people stop paying attention... if this thing can avoid being trashed for more then ten minutes after it's deployed.
