Answer preview
This is for a correctional administration class for my political science major. My professor wants us to discuss public policy issues and constitutional issues the US Constitution, Case law and civil (statutory) law where appropriate. Overall, thats about it.Law enforcement agencies not only in the United States but also across the world have always endeavored to improve and modernize their policing practices. In America, specially trained dogs have always been used as a law enforcement tool, especially when undertaking special assignments such as drug checks (BBC, 2021). The introduction and subsequent infusion of technology into policing have changed this arena. Even though numerous law enforcement agencies have already adopted other forms of technology, none is causing more controversy than the introduction of robo dogs. Civil rights advocates have consistently questioned the presence and use of robo dogs as law enforcement tools, often calling them terrifying, in light of the limited oversight over police robotics program, an aspect that can lead to numerous human rights violations.
