Poll: Yes or no to the robots?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Imagine walking through Hamilton’s Garden Place and being followed by a futuristic - and slightly Dalek-like - robot the size of a dining table, rolling beside you, recording everything you do, and ready to speak up if it spots trouble.

It might sound like a sci-fi movie, but Hamilton City Councillor Ewan Wilson says it’s worth exploring as the city grapples with increasing drug use and antisocial behaviour in the CBD. “It’s an option,” he says. “Maybe it’s a discussion that we should have.”

What do you reckon? Yes or no to the robots? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
