Robocop is Here

  • After bringing in Lamborghinis and Ferraris to patrol roads, Dubai police have enrolled a robotic officer, the first in a unit that aims to make up a quarter of the force by 2030.

    The robotic cop stood to attention Wednesday night at the foot of Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest tower, as tourists and passersby snapped selfie souvenir photos by its side.

    Wearing a police cap and moving on wheels, the robot features a computer touch-screen on its chest that can be used to report a crime or inquire about speeding tickets.

    "Our aim is to raise the number of robots to 25 percent of the police force by 2030," said Brigadier Khaled al-Razzooqi, head of Smart Services at Dubai police.
Perhaps Rahm could start by replacing the Traffic Aides with these? Because every Traffic Aide we've ever seen downtown does pretty much nothing but screw up the traffic pattern. Rahm could dress up these robots like....traffic lights or something, and let them run intersections. They'd be far more polite and ease congestion by magnitudes.

Could you see this here? They'd get the cheapest, most obsolete robots that would always be breaking down. They'd all have tickets on them like the dash cams and pdt's. They'd be running on Windows '98...and they'd probably get merit promotions too.

Well, sounds like the job of being the police is being outsourced, and we will
all be replaced in the next 50 years, so thank your lucky stars that most of us will
be gone. For me, 9 yrs for 30, and that's wishful thinking. The left progressives
will get what they want, perfect police!

Excerpt from Herald Sun

‘THEY WERE STABBING PEOPLE’

Witnesses also said they saw two men stabbing people outside the well-known Roast restaurant in Borough market according to The Guardian. A chef from the nearby Fish restaurant said: “I saw two guys with big knives downstairs outside Roast. They were stabbing people. The police were running away, they were community police. They were normal officers, they were running away.

“The guy with the knife was killing two people. We were shouting ‘stop, stop’ and people threw chairs at them. Police came and shot straight away.”

Another staff member from Fish said: “I saw two people in Breadhead bakery, they had blood on them, they were civilians. I never expected to see this happen here.”

Where else did they expect this to happen?? All their brilliant government officials wanted these hyper pagan cult followers in the country, and now all you see is people getting butchered in the streets, rioting, vandalism, and assaults on the tax paying English commoners. The #1 name for English newborn males is "Mohammed". England has turned into another France, where these parasites have outbred the native people, and the politicians have cashed in and sold out their countrymen for votes from the foreigners. All the WW2 vets, British and American alike, would be outraged to see how their sacrifice is being wasted by the masses of spoiled and ignorant descendants who conveniently forgot history.

Hey Inspector Joe Clouseau - We could save money by disbanding the useless Traffic MisControl Aides and expanding whatever small police cadet program exists to utilizing cadets for traffic duties. They would actually do the job instead of standing 2 feet off the curb with a yellow vest, blowing a whistle, and making a few gestures with their arms. Have a requirement that the cadet also take criminal justice courses and you won't have the "warm body wants a job" syndrome but a someone who wants to become the police. The current traffic control aides could be offered Safe Passage jobs so they could still wear a yellow vest.

The majority of Traffic Aides are Part time (less than 1k hours a year) city employees trying to find a full time gig.

You want to talk about useless? Lets talk about the Crossing Guard that works Rutherford and Foster. Where there is a Light. She should be posted at the next north intersection where there isn't a light. Or the crossing guards that would get driven around in 019 by their cop supervisor doing street cleaning so they could keep them on the clock and paid.

Or the 80k a year coppers that rush around 024 and 020 and 014 and 018 and 019 looking for street cleaning tickets to write.

I will not defend the way that TMA is run by the clout hacks at OEMC. I don't arm chair QB the police when it comes to actual Law Enforcement.

Having lived in Dubai, this is more of a PR stunt than anything. What happens when you have more money than you know what to deal with? As I recall they do have a Lamborghini and a Ferrari in their department - mainly to deal with other rich jerks who have the same. Overall Dubai is insanely safe - except if you're a woman - and that's only because the imported population from the Indian subcontinent like to grope or worse for Western women.

There is something to be said about how they handle crimes - what would get you a pass from Kim Foxxxxxxx would have you end up in a world of hurt there. A misdemeanor drug possession would get you serious time.

However, if we did have robot police in Chicago, odds are they'd be labeled racist and the smart robot police would become merit hacks.

Look here Douche, Half the Ordinances in the parker book that should be a suppository for your fat ass are wrong.


But you just keep writing expired plates or Rear and Front Required (one for each missing plate like untrained stroke you are) or 9-64-170D or 9-64-170B when the Fine isn't even correct.

Oh I know...dust off donut crumbs, hit pause on your Netflix and walk around a car before you drop a ticket on it to see if there is already one on it from the same day.

You have the whole god damn ILVC and ILCS to work with. But I suppose being fetal is easy for someone with a Gun and 80k a year covered by a 3500 pound squad. How about Stop Sign enforcement (failure to come to a complete Stop)? How about Crosswalk enforcement (Failure to yield when pedestrian present)?

How about all you late night/early morning hard chargers.....and all the complaints from around the 50 wards about the Semi's parking where the heck ever? Thats an Instant Tow/Impound under 9-64-170....there is free activity for your set to suck on and you didn't profile anyone.

We have an issue here people.

I was bored today and decided to check and see if the above poster was blowing smoke or actually was right.

I found about 6 violations in the Parking Ticket book that are not correct. A couple have the wrong Fine and about 4 have the wrong Ordinance letter after the number. And I'm talking about citations that get issued a lot by the people that do Parkers in the slower districts.


Hey Finance Bike Guy.... would you care to comment?
