Fetal Robots
- Leave it to California to introduce a policing “innovation” that makes Barney Fife look like Judge Dredd.
When the Huntington Park Police Force rolled out “HP Robocop” in June of this year, it was heralded as a major step for public safety for its supposed ability to keep an extra pair of eyes on patrol without taking an officer off assignment.
“This is a big accomplishment for our city and introducing HP RoboCop shows innovation and the incorporation of new technology,” Mayor Karina Macias said at the robot’s introduction.
But....:
- RoboCop recently got its first test in the realities of policing, and the machine definitely didn’t live up to its imposing name. According to NBC News, when a fight broke out in Salt Lake Park, a bystander rushed to RoboCop and pushed the robot’s call button. Nothing happened.
“I was pushing the button but it said, ‘step out of the way,’” Cogo Guebara said. “It just kept ringing and ringing, and I kept pushing and pushing.”
The woman figured it needed to scan a face, possibly a deterrent to prank alerts, and positioned herself in front of the robot’s camera to no effect. A woman with Guebara then used a cell phone to call 911, and first responders arrived 15 minutes later. By then, the fight had already ended and one woman was bleeding from a wound on her head. Despite the chaos, RoboCop continued to follow its pre-determined route.
In the robot's defense, once it's internal GPS discovered it was in California, it kind of gave up caring.

He was on his way to lunch at Jiffy Lube.
Can we get some in 011 so we don’t have to answer calls?
... you have 30 minutes to comply...
Someone call ED209.
Ha even the robot is fetal
This is amazing. I’m actually sitting here laughing to myself like a maniac. Seems like the robot worked perfectly to me. Much like a real copper would. See a few shit heads fighting, they all start hollering, you just say “get out of my way!” And drive off haha Hahahah
It learned a little too quick. It already has “blinders mode.”
I don't know if its the same left coast town but I read about a year ago they tried the robot on patrol and some one threw a blanket over it and then picked up and threw it in the ocean.
No, it was just heading to checkoff!!!!
They didn't hook up the robot emergency call button yet. They also have nobody monitoring the cameras live as it rolls along. It is even less useful than a Roomba; at least the Roomba sucks.
Fetal is as fetal does. Congrats even the robots have been infected.
Pointed head, 400lbs., can't call for help.
$24K set up fee, total 3 yr. cost: $240K.
Best be programmed for Spanish too. Robo-Placa in mostly wet California. From the state that brought us electric patrol cars and Segway police vehicles. The Farce is Strong there
Oh boy, HP RoboCop will soon be homeless shaking a tin can on a LA street corner, loitering in Starbucks stealing electricity to recharge and pissing oil and shitting nuts and bolts where it pleases.

What else can be expected from Commiefornia? They have been experts at finding solutions to non-existant problems for over 50 years now. Gee, with all those “geniuses” residing there, one has to wonder why that place is so totally fucked up.
Technology will NEVER replace a cop on the street.

Sounds like the robot has more common sense than California Democrats.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
" I'll be back....in the shop."
Don't worry, they will spend enough of our dollars to perfect this machine, pit people out of work, then wonder why problems.
Question? If the robot finds poop on the sidewalk...do alarms,lights and sirens go off?danger wil Robinson!!
HP Mayor Macias is another socialist activist akin to AOC and sjw Auntie Lari LightLoafer.
Makes you wonder which one of her relatives or donors owns the robot factory.
Seem the robot had acted stupidly and had its lithium ion battery pulled for 10 days.
They will strip its policing assignment and reassign it to civil matters as a city council person.
On another note...
My FTO was Robo the Clown.
Nice enough fellow, but in my opinion he always made me write too many reports.
Maybe HPPD can get him out of retirement and straighten out that contraption.
"Dead or alive,I can't help you"
does the robot need to swipe in and out?
Do they eat donuts?

“The AI technology in HP RoboCop seems to have developed indifference, blinders, if you will. We did not expect such human characteristics in RoboCop’s evolution.”
Robots have a better union than FOP they only have to work 4 days per week and 7 hour shifts. Rest in place unt9il next shift begins. This explains why that particular unit was unresponsive.
Just another fixed post.
You have all just been introduced to the CPD of the future. Don't laugh it will happen before anyone with 10 years on retires. No pension obligations, no batching or fetal job actions and no one to hate. Groot can't wait.
Self driving cars, robots and eyes in the sky drones are coming much sooner than you all think. Get ready for downsizing.
His name is TOBOR. He was on Fambly Classics 50 years ago. He done gone fetal an sh*t.

I can't wait until they roll out the updated version based on the RobCop 2, and it responds to any requests for assistance by opening fire with its automatic cannon.
Should be a hoot.
What a joke and waste of taxpayer money.
Hope robocop is bilingual cuz Huntington Park is about 99% Spanish speaking.
Cali is fucked and the new governor is making things worse. I don't understand why other states like Washington, Oregon and Colorado want to be like that failing state.
Hey SCC,
OT: I got a friend on the SWAT team and please listen to this. The guys started complaining trough email that they haven’t trained in OVER A YEAR and that it is a big officer safety issue for swat and patrol as well. They are not meeting their training standards and the guys performance dropped dramatically. They are not even qualified with their rifles. It is supposed to be biannually and they haven’t even qualified once this year. Here is the KICKER:::::: Their boss told everyone that all emails sent trough department email have to be approved by a sergeant. The reason is because they are Discoverable and inflammatory to the department. This is so f....d up.

I listened to the same claim 50 years ago. You forgot to say the city will steal your deferred comp
Does the Robocop have to swipe in and out?
Did OCP open a branch office in Commiefornia?
I'm sitting here flashing back to my trouble making teen years and thinking of the many, many, many ways me and my boys could have fucked with that robocop.

Sounds like half the POs on my watch...
Say that robots should replace school teachers and they will get banned
Yeah, these are the same morons who switched to Teslas for their patrol cars.... and found out that they don't function well in blackout....
Retired 325lb cop three year cost 280k pension payments. Acadamy set up cost 75k.
