Calling a robot dog a weapon is a stretch without more context. Why can't this be used as a communication platform to replace no-knock raids? You'd just need to

Calling a robot dog a weapon is a stretch without more context. Why can't this be used as a communication platform to replace no-knock raids? You'd just need to equip it with a loud speaker and a short range radio for the most part.

>Why can't this be used as a communication platform to replace no-knock raids? Because telephones and loudspeakers already exist, and law enforcement clearly doesn't want to replace no-knock raids, because they could already do so if they chose. This is just a land-based drone, expect law enforcement to put it to the same use as military drones - surveillance and violence. Maybe bomb disposal/retrieval.
