2:22Now PlayingA New York City lawmaker is pushing new limits on how the NYPD can use its robotic dogs, including a ban on weaponizing the machines in the future. The proposal comes as police say the robots are currently used for public safety situations like hostage negotiations and terror-related responses, but are not equipped with weapons.
