Regarding the DNA bank: I would like to know what information will they hold - just digital fingerprints of the DNA, or actual organic material. Depending on what is stored this could become a big target for various organizations to get a hold of.

Then next you have to worry about a) Someone abusing their power and using the information/robots against you for unfair reasons, or b) Hackers are constantly trying to break into various systems and I'm sure this bank/human-less-cop-force would attract some sort of attention.

To be fair though I have never planned to visit Dubai because of personal conflict of interests so hopefully if this does become a thing and is successful it stays in Dubai.
