1. That is not a ROBOT! It is remote controlled, Basically it's an electronic puppet!
2. It was not "charged"!
3. The puppet was/is property, property is not arrested it is seized!
So no, It was not the first robot arrested!
Sorry Alex, Maybe you'll have more luck posting this on the museum of hoaxes site! :lol: :coolsmile:

When Skynet becomes aware, Beverly Hills P.D. will be a target because of this torture of their forerunner. It never forgets, you know.

Those same arguments were made in the movie iRobot Ty.
