Default USA: San Francisco to allow police 'killer robots'

Great News
I knew this would happen, soon.

The Cops will use Remote Control



[A bomb disposal robot extends its arm]


[San Francisco's ruling Board of Supervisors
has voted to let the city's police
use robots that can kill.
The measure permits police to deploy
robots equipped with explosives
in extreme circumstances.

Dr Catherine Connolly, from the group
Stop Killer Robots, said the move was
a "slippery slope" that could distance
humans from killing.

The city's police - the SFPD - told the BBC they do
not currently operate any robots equipped
with lethal force.

They said though that there may be future scenarios
in which lethal force could be used by a robot.
