Let the historians of the future take note, former police commissioner Mick Keelty tried to warn us of the coming robotic criminal underground when we still had time to do something about it. Did we listen? No, we did not :
Technology such as cloned part-robot humans used by organised crime gangs pose the greatest future challenge to police....It's only a matter of time before a bank robber gets shot and bleeds blood and battery acid.
Mr Keelty said the police force would have to use experts from the private sector to fight tech-savvy organised criminals, because it lacked the necessary skills.
...he identified the use of robotics and cloning as future challenges.
"Our environmental scanning tells us that even with some of the cloning of human beings - not necessarily in Australia but in those countries that are going to allow it - you could have potentially a cloned part-person, part-robot," he said.
"You could (also) have technology acting at the direction of a human being, but the human being being distanced considerably from the actual crime scene."
Fortunately, Australians are already being trained in how to deal with hordes of RoboBarbarians On Segways :
