On Tuesday, November 29, the Board of Supervisors in San Francisco voted to allow the use of lethal robots by police. The vote was 8-3 in favor of granting police the use of military equipment and lethal robots in an emergency situation. SFPD spokesperson Allison Maxie said robots will be used:
to contact, incapacitate, or disorient violent, armed, or dangerous suspect. Robots equipped in this manner would only be used in extreme circumstances to save or prevent further loss of innocent lives.
