In the "Innovation Lab" of the police in North Rhine-Westphalia, a police "dog" costing 66,000 euros is presented. However, the specific use for the expensive gimmick is completely unclear.
Duisburg – A little science fiction, a little lack of will: The police in North Rhine-Westphalia are buying a robot dog worth 66,000 euros for the newly opened “Innovation Lab” – and don’t even know what to use it for. Now it hails ridicule and malice on the net.
As reported by kreiszeitung.de*, the specific use of the Robocop dog is still completely unclear, which is why there has been harsh criticism of the waste of taxpayers' money – some suspect, however, an impending offensive by the "combat robots".

About a year ago, the New York police acquired the same robot dogs and used them several times in shootings and armed burglaries. However, due to numerous protests, the AI dogs soon had to be withdrawn from circulation.
