When someone is arrested and taken into custody, it is the police department and jail's responsibility for the person's safety. If an inmate is injured or dies because of negligence or abusive treatment, the city may be financially liable. #BNCL #JailAbuse #JohnBurris

"What a terrible idea. Apart from hostage situations, it’s hard to conceive of any circumstance where a robot could lawfully use lethal force. And hostage scenarios present serious dangers from the robot shooting or blowing up the wrong person"
