Massachusetts State Police became the first law enforcement agency to use a robot dog named Spot. The ACLU of Massachusetts fears what may happen if rules aren't set in place about how Spot the robot can be used. The department only used Spot two times, Massachusetts State Police director of media communications Dave Procopio told CNN in a statement. "As part of our continual emphasis on examining the application of new technologies to our mission, we recently completed a test program of the Boston Dynamics robot known as 'Spot.'" For Boston Dynamics, putting Spot on the police force was really about seeing how the robot dog can help law enforcement in public safety.
