Police robots are the ultimate rejection of what the British police hold as the Peelian principles: that policing is done by consent, by all members of the public where no one is better than anyone else, and where some of those members of the public — uniformed police officers with warrant cards to facilitate arrest — happen to be salaried full time employees of the state that perform the duties every citizen should do. But I’ve also never interacted with a Knightscope enforcement droid. Maybe they have a friendly green button on the front that you press to talk to a rational human? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peelian_principles https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peelian_principles
