“I didn’t shoot that black man. It was the robot.“
Wait for the legal fights when some murderous cop kills some innocent person and claims they aren’t legally culpable because all they did was operate a remote. Or how about this: they didn’t know how to operate the remote properly, or there was a technical problem of some sort leading to the shooting. If these guys can repeatedly claim they don’t remember how to use body cams, you don’t think some bad actors will find every way they can to wash their hands of culpability for what a remote controlled robot does?
