Otl1973:
I'm a bit confused by the comments that imply that Roko walked into CoD and started asking questions about Bubbles. What I saw was her walk in and ask about tea. Hannelore responded with a humorous comment about a particular AI customer, and glancing at the chair (with its sign) with a smile on her face, Roko asked if that customer was Bubbles. None of that seemed to me to justify either Hannelore's reaction or the almost universal support that her reaction has gotten from the forumites. I am far from a huge fan of law enforcement, but the views expressed here are pretty extreme...

Cost. The more sensitive the olfactory sensors, the more expensive they'll be. If the police department pays for olfactory upgrades, they can probably get a decent discount for quantity, but if Roko had to pay for it herself on a cop's salary...

I beg to differ. If you want to argue cost, then off-the-shelf would be cheapest. Not some kind of custom-built sensor.
And what does off-the-shelf provide? The same senses as every other AI around. Which, I daresay, provides essentially the same range of senses as humans.
And, might I add, there is still no indication that the chassis was provided by the police, in any case.
Today's comic: cereal as fan service. Who ever would have guessed? ;)

Damn, Steve got BEEFY
Look at those arms!
Case:
Steve rocking Dadbod! Tortura!
"I find you; feed you to pigs" shall be my favourite way of seeing somebody off henceforth!
SomeCanadianWeirdo:
Poor Cosette. She's probably lucky she didn't trip over something, spill coffee over Tortura, and end up on the floor with a concussion from an elbow strike.
