--- Quote from: BenRG on 18 Sep 2016, 23:09 ---It kind of makes sense that you'd hire synthetics to police crime in the synthetic community. After all 'to catch a thief' and all that; they'd probably think and move at the right rate (and in the right way) to handle AI felons, something few if any humans could do.

I see it more as "If we have to investigate illegal AI activity, we should have someone who can withstand a punch from a combat chassis. I mean, human officer vs crusher AI = squished head."

May's parole officer was an AI, so I suspect pretty much all AI crime is handled by AIs: officers, lawyers, judges, prison guards Robot Jail sysadmins, etc.

Of course, things could get rather interesting from a legalistic standpoint. If an officer could potentially be restored from a backup[1] Would it be murder or attempted murder if the victim was briefly dead? (And I don't suspect that the Vetanari solution of briefly hanging the offender would work in the QCverse).
[1] Although I would think there would be some sort of PTSD as a result from having a gap in memories and something horrific happening to their previous chassis.

--- Quote from: gopher on 19 Sep 2016, 02:57 ---Police have two priorities in their job. The first is to survive their shift, hence their trigger-happiness. Secondly to arrest some-one, hence their aggressive lying/manipulation. Never engage with the police without your lawyer, they want to blame some-one, anyone, and are quite happy to fit you up.

In the US, maybe. My local police department actually called in UK cops to teach de-escalation and alternatives to violence.

Same in Ireland. In fact we don't technically have a police force. They're officially "guardians of the peace" and their whole operating method is based around de-escalating situations before violence happens.
Perfectly Reasonable:
"There has been a complaint. Someone is substituting Chinese White for Khaki."
In other news, I like the idea that Police Woman is a newbie who has been stuck with the duty that nobody else wants.
Is it cold in here?:
Oh dear.
The Pugnacious Peach needs to swallow her pride and beg Hannelore to lend her one of the family lawyers.
"Money laundering" laws are a danger to anyone who so much as sells a car to a drug dealer. Robocop has just made a veiled threat of a Federal prosecution.
This is the heaviest drama we've seen in quite a while.
Robocop is unlikely to accept "Thanks for asking, nobody's being taken advantage of" from an informant.
