Using a Bomb Robot to Kill a Suspect Is an Unprecedented Shift in Policing
What Dallas authorities did on Thursday raises concerns about due process and the use of remotely triggered lethal force by law enforcement.
Hasnain says:
"The ability for police to remotely kill suspects raises due process concerns. If a shooter is holed up and alone, can they be qualified as an imminent threat to life? Are there clear protocols about when a robot can be used to engage a suspect versus when a human needs to engage him or her? When can the use of lethal force be administered remotely?"
