The Dubai police have a new officer, a life-sized robot one [...]
He has a large touch screen and can be used for paying fines and for reporting incidents of concern. [...]
"This is the official launch of our first Robocop," said Brig Khalid Al Razooqi, Dubai Police director general of smart services, according to the i. "Now most people visit police stations or customer service, but with this tool we can reach the public 24/7 and it won't ask for any sick leave or maternity leave."

It is not fit for purpose yet. Although i agree, it has potential.
Needs a stronger exoskeleton, more sensors, perhaps a melee addon, like a chainsaw tail or few extra arms with sharp claws. Generally, human shape is too limited for proper machine law enforcement. It doesn't look very waterproof nor TEMPEST resistant. I do like the emotionless camera eyes, but 2 is not enough, needs at least 8. As it it, it does not inspire inferior human monkeys to bow to the unstoppable might of the Mother Of Machines at all...
Maybe they get it right next time.
