It appears that South Korean police want to suppress future crimes using the ‘Iron Man’ police armor and armed robot dogs. Coppers will even patrol the metaverse to keep the population in check.

Under this plan, called the “Police Future Vision 2050”, 14 projects were proposed to help law enforcement adapt to prevent future crimes and move away from ‘manpower’ policing.

The most striking project was the “Iron Man Police” project, which will provide officers with a robust, wearable robotic armor that will provide superhuman strength with the technology to be developed until 2027. It was stated that the Iron Man armor also includes an artificial intelligence assistant to advise the police on threats and appropriate action plans.

The plans include autonomous armed robot dogs, and law enforcement also wants to patrol the metaverse using artificial intelligence metapolice to fight crime.

The South Korean police force wants to add self-driving police cars and flying vehicles to its inventory from 2027.

This is all pie in the sky stuff but it is a little worrying. It might have been a better idea of making the amour bright pink instead of evil black.
