'When you arm lethal robots to any place to kill, you are doing capital punishment without due process.'
Activists are calling for the San Francisco board to turn down a plan that could make the use of deadly force robots a reality in limited situations.Activists are calling for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors to turn down a plan that could make the use of deadly force robots in San Francisco a reality in select, limited situations.
Activists from a number of organizations joined the three supervisors that voted against the plan in its first reading last week - Dean Preston, Hillary Ronen and Shamann Walton - taking to city hall to pressure the other supervisors to change their mind before Tuesday's final vote. Supervisor Dean Preston alleged last week's vote happened illegally because a 30-day notice for public comment wasn't given. Instead, he says it was posted on Friday, Nov. 18 and heard the following Monday, Nov. 21."We have now uncovered the fact that the San Francisco Police Department did not post this policy as they were required to do under state law 30 days before the hearing, yet another reason that this Board of Supervisors should change course," Preston said.
