NYPD rolls out ‘snitchBOT’ to patrol city subways, monitor criminalsBy Bernadette Hogan and Craig McCarthy

Rise of the machines.
The NYPD is rolling out several crime-fighting robots — including one dubbed a “snitchBOT” that will patrol Times Square and city subways.
“The Terminator”-esque tech is one of three new pieces of futuristic equipment that the NYPD has already started to pilot to help with policing, said Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell and Mayor Eric Adams at a Tuesday press conference.
“We cannot be afraid of [the technology],” Adams said.
“If we were not willing to move forward and use technology to properly keep cities safe, then we will not keep up with those who are doing harmful things to hurt New York.”
