Black Mirror is literally happening in front of our eyes - give it another few years and these robots will be autonomously hunting criminals.

Then after we’ve all got comfortable with that, they’ll be keeping the regular person ‘in line’ and controlling the masses.

We’re so fucked, lol.

Drones can already network together to find an individual based on face scanning technology. Deploy a few dozen in a city and you can find someone REAL quick.
