All the things the cops would want this bot to do are prohibited by rules or by the potential for public outrage; no facial recognition, no offensive capabilities, it's basically just a camera drone. But that will change when the rules change, or when people stop paying attention... if this thing can avoid being trashed for more then ten minutes after it's deployed.

Well, you see this uses up a far larger chunk of the pointlessly huge police budget. I'm sure they'll also figure out a way for it to kill people soon.

Maybe this ridiculous thing will eventually replace some of the worst or most useless human cops... in twenty years, after a few billion tax dollars, just before their union neuters the project and renders it virtually useless. Think of the possibilities!

It has cameras and can follow people or raise alarm. It won't take long until someone shoves it onto train tracks, though.

Okay, so criminals are like "It saw us with our masks on. We have 10 minutes to get out of here...". Not a great deterrent.

CCTV that can follow people, raise an alarm, and be shoved in front of an incoming train when it does. A cleaning robot would have been more useful.
