Trespasser, be advised that deadly force will be used against you without further warning.

I like how in the video, the police chief (I think he is the police chief. I had it muted) purposefully pushed on one of the robots to prove to people they can't simply push them over like they ought to be doing.

Like people can't just flip them over with crowbars or anything. Or tape M-80s to them. Or spray paint the cameras. Or...

It's going to get peed on for sure.

The video didn't give a whole lot of information but it's been in the media buzz for a while so for those who are curious here's some features and extra info on the K5:

  • 5'2" tall and weighs 400 lbs
  • Top speed is 3mph
  • 4 HD cameras and 1 IR camera for 360 surveillance & record capability
  • 2.5 - 3 hours of patrol time on full charge, then 20-30 min to recharge
  • Will not record audio or use facial recognition
  • Panic button feature located near the top front of the robot
  • Will be on a 2 month trial, midnight to 6am
  • One of the versions knocked down a toddler in a mall back in 2016 Article here

So to answer everyone's main questions, yes the K5 will be fkd with by hooligans. Inevitably. It's what they want though so they can bring out the upgraded K5 version with the fun features.

What the fuck is even the purpose of such a thing? Why can't they just accept this is something people don't actually want?
