Law enforcement needs to evolve rapidly to keep up, Europol says. While a Europol spokesperson told The Telegraph that the agency “can’t predict the future,” the warning signs are certainly already there. Advanced weapons have already “spilled over into organised crime and terrorism, impacting law enforcement,” the report reads. Some voiced concerns over privacy invasions as well, perpetrated not only by criminals, but by law enforcement as well, using sophisticated surveillance methods. Others were far less convinced that either crime or law enforcement will get a major robot makeover any time soon.
