Just add a gun and you’ve got the premise of the Terminator franchise!

The drone needs thermal vision, a taser firing system, and a storage compartment to pick up donuts for the police force

My older brother always felt this was the future for The police departments. He was right.

Imagine trying to get away and a drone doesn't stop following you, there's drones that can follow you just by scanning your face.

we are finally living in the near future

South Park predicted this would happen.

R.I.P. dangerous high-speed car chases!

😎🤖

They already take over 50% of your cities budget. Now, they don’t even want to respond to your calls for help.

So law enforcement agencies using DJI Drones?

What is a drone going to do during a domestic violence situation?

Big brother starts with, "we only wanna protect you"! They prepared us with terminator sequels

[TheAuraEngineer]

Someone needs to make a short film utilizing how terrifying the noise of these drones are, like a robotics cry

And when this will be used to spy on people?😂

[ianpatrick]

Seems like a great enabler to the police

DJI is the leading company when it comes to advancements in public safety. I wouldn't trust these new companies just starting out in the drone market. Unfortunately, our government, since nothing is truly made in America, seems to think the only way to compete is by targeting the top company, DJI, which sets back search and rescue efforts.

Knightscope is the robotic system as well …

"Leave her ALONE"

The drone said under its breath 300 feet above in the air.

Having drone be the first responder to non life threatening calls keeps civilians and police safer. Police can arrive on scene prepared for what the situation is while the drone provides over watch
