Maybe, in 2025, robots get a bad rep. There are a couple of them out there, but the concept still sounds futuristic. Think of Enthiran or The Terminator or the one from I, Robot. It doesn't sound too pretty. Even the robots you may have heard of in the 2020s might not be all that inspiring.

In March 2024, a Saudi Arabia robot that was programmed to move its hands was said to have extended its hand towards the lower back of a female reporter. That didn't go down too well. And Elon Musk's Optimus robots from Tesla, which were presented at an event in October 2024, were said to be controlled by humans behind the scenes instead of functioning autonomously.

So, what if the two things people love the most: robots... and the police? Robot police. That sounds menacing and nefarious, already.
