Police and Sheriff's Patrol Officers

if a robot pulls me over im driving away

Requires human interaction and life altering decision making that relies on a multitude of different things acting in concert with each other.

Many aspects of this profession require a human element (i.e., emotional intelligence, de-escalation, interviewing, rapport building, etc.) that current AI technology is incapable of reproducing at this time.

the ai does not have emotional intelligance wich is critical for a job such as a police officer

The public will likely never allow it to pass the legislature due to lack of trust for the technology.

Over a year and NOBODY made a "Robocop" reference? The internet has disappointed me once again.

No chance. Policing requires critical thinking, logic, situational assessment and decision-making which can’t fit into a program. When a police officer sees someone committing a crime, it’s up to them to decide what to do. If a man’s smoking pot alone in the park, do they deserve to be arrested? The cop will go up to them, talk a bit, leave a warning and may or may not leave a ticket depending on how the man acts. If he’s polite and cooperative, the officer will probably let him off with a warning. If he’s erratic and violent, he’ll arrest him. A robot, however, won’t think that far. Sees someone committing a crime (smoking pot) and simply arrest him. If he doesn’t comply, use violence. They’re programmed to do what the programmer put into it. If someone has a knife, take them out. Simple as that. Doesn’t matter if it’s a woman defending herself against an abuser. The robot’ll see a knife and shoot her. Robocop explained it very well. Police officers need compassion and emotions. If you could program a robot to do that, you’ve got yourself a human.

People are required due to the sensitive touch required for tasks involving people in crisis.

There’s no way. With how the job works, such as high speed chases of needing to hold someone down. You’d also need good emotions, and good persuasion.

This occupation requires complex problem solving, creativity, and a high level of manual dexterity.

Robots might be able to detect criminals and patrol cities

the question is would people find an automated law enforcement officer more credible than a human police officer. I think there will be more Artificial intelligence added to the job but not all automation as we currently understand computers

Although unlikely I do believe that more technology will be Implemented into day to day policing and such tasks as processing criminals may become automated but a lot of the human elements will never be automated.

Where I am from, they have automated speed radars and red light traffic cameras. Both of which will capture the vehicle registration and issue a ticket. Just saying. I agree it's safe from full take-over, but some changes will present.

Partially replaced for sure. There will likely always be some people, but you can replace a lot of the monotonous work with machines. Cameras and sensors can spot speeders and light runners. The new Boston Dynamics robots can do backhand springs. One cop could send a host of A.I. swarm bots to a crack house and handle it like a video game. Quadcopters, mechanical mice with cameras and microphones, armed dog bots, humanoid arrest bots, and self-driving cars.

I think it's good that they have a low chance of being replaced by robots because although humans can be biased, humans make better decisions and can pick up on clues or emotions better.

There is a lot of talk about things like the androids from D:BH so I think it could go either way if artificial intelligence is improved.

Competent police officers require human communication skills and human coordination (for the later see the old “robots struggle to walk up stairs” problem)

as police need to have good decision making skills as robots do not

THAT IS CRAZY HOW WOULD THEY GET COPS REPLACED!??!!?
