    1. From the article

      U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement wants to spend up to $2 million on robots from Boston Dynamics, according to a funding [document](https://apfs-cloud.dhs.gov/record/75113/public-print/) from the Department of Homeland Security.

      The robot known as „Spot“ is one of Boston Dynamics‘ most recognized products. It’s a dog-like machine with four legs, and equipped with cameras and sensors that can detect things like hazardous gas. It can also climb stairs and navigate through rough terrain.

      The technology would provide ICE with the capability to remotely operate the robots „for inspection, situational awareness, and hazard assessment in environments that may pose risks to personnel,“ according to the DHS document.

    2. I’m not OK with my tax dollars being used to harass and murder my fellow Americans.

      This is great! I’m sure they’ll only use the robot dogs to go after dangerous criminals and not to stalk and harass innocent citizens or asylum seekers.

      Boston Dynamics could really help their future bottom line by refusing to sign this contract/selling to ICE.

      If this article was about fire departments buying them, it would be universally lauded. Instead, para-military forces are buying them to turn against US citizens and residents. 

      This is not political. This is insanity.

      It’s all fun and games until they realize that some of us know how to reprogram these and more will learn.💜 our countermeasures are already being created.

    7. Hey look, it’s everyone’s worst fear when they first revealed those things.

      Everything awful aside, how many advanced robot dogs could 2 million even buy?

      Seems like we turned into a surveillance state overnight, but when you think about it it’s been in the works for a long time

    10. Ice raids Hyundai, and Hyundai workers refuse to come back to the US to train American workers. Hyundai buys Boston dynamics, starts replacing workers with robots. Hyundai raids ice budget, and this replaces ice.

    11. To what end? Sneaking up on construction crews, and parents in line to pick up their kids at school, or jumping people on the streets requires stealth- not dancing robot dogs. What are they gonna do, send them into restaurant kitchens and nursing homes in disguise?

      That’s good, I wouldn’t want to be chased and tazed by some foreign-made robot dog. Would not want my door broken down by some shoddy China robot dog. Better be oppressed by honest American craftsmanship.

      Great, now the president’s private Nazi militia has shock gloves *AND* robot dogs

      People will just start building mobile faraday cage traps to combat/remove these things if it becomes necessary.
