The San Francisco Board of Supervisors officially nixed the SFPD's lethal force option with remote-controlled robots with its latest vote Tuesday.
The board voted 10-1 to approve the policy that states,"Robots will not be used as a deadly force option." Supervisor Matt Dorsey was the only member to vote against the language. He argued the equipment should be available in extreme circumstances.
The Dec. 6 vote explicitly banned the use of robots in such fashion for now. But they sent the issue back to a committee for further discussion and could allow it in limited cases at another time.. The police said they had no plans to arm the robots with guns but wanted the ability to put explosives on them in extraordinary circumstances.
