ED-209 was a law enforcement robot designed to supplant human police.
But the first ED-209 malfunctioned and brutally killed a volunteer. Meanwhile in an attempt to upgrade the newly minted ED-209 authorities converted a police officer who was killed in the line of duty into a cyborg with no memory of his former life in the year 2028, in this science fiction masterpiece.
It's now 2026 in the real world and robots are being introduced into the American police force. More specifically the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) which is planning on purchasing up to $2 million worth of dog-like robots for use in immigration enforcement and deportation operations.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) claims that the RoboDogs are not being acquired to actively chase or make physical arrests. Real quick. When was the last time DHS told the truth about anything?
The RoboDogs are quadruple robots - specifically the ironically named Spot model manufactured by Boston Dynamics.
See Spot run. Spot can run you down and watch you run with 360-degree cameras and sensors.
You aren't going to get away from Spot who can navigate complex terrains, open doors, and relay live data back to operators.
I'm particularly concerned that the corrupt Trump regime will ignore the manufacturer's restrictions. Boston Dynamics released an ethics statement reiterating that their terms of sale strictly prohibit the weaponization of their robots or use as autonomous targeting systems.
Does anyone really think Trump and his minions are going to play nice with this new technology and not weaponize it?
There's substantial criticism from civil liberties groups and civil rights advocates who voice concerns about removing the human element of law enforcement and the potential normalization of robot policing. Imagine Spot crouching like Stephen King's Cujo in every neighborhood.
Let's not forget this $2 million proposal follows a heavily contested $20 million contract earlier this month for ICE to purchase shock gloves.
It's just a matter of time now before ICE introduces humanoid robots to hunt down immigrants and anyone the regime doesn't approve of.
China is leaps and bounds ahead of the world in humanoid development. Their robots can outrun the fastest man on the planet and are easily adapted into killing machines.
If you think the Trump regime isn't working on similar humanoids to control the public, then you're kidding yourself. There's nothing Trump wouldn't do to stay in office as long as his deteriorating body holds out.
As it Stands, let's just hope Trump supporters don't manage to turn him into a cyborg RoboCop from hell when he kicks the bucket!
