Personally, I’d love to see robot drones remotely apply lethal force to people breaking into vehicles, but it’ll be a long time before enough red tape will be cut to make that happen.

I like the cut of your jib! But take it even further: How about drones applying lethal force to speeders and tailgaters, too? Also people who drive under the influence, or people who are rolling coal, or aggressively driving in convoys, or driving ICE cars and trucks with low miles per gallon or high emissions, or illegally parking in handicapped spots, or driving unnecessarily often, or when they could walk or ride their bikes or take public transit instead of driving, especially parents who drop their kids off at school in the morning and pick them up in the afternoon, when the kids could be riding bikes instead. I think you're onto something!
Sounds peachy until you accidentally drop your car keys while trying to unlock your car and a robot kills you on the spot.
I take it you’ve never had to break into your own car before?
Kill people breaking into cars? What an excessive reaction.
Why stop there. We could take out people who fail to pay their taxes or who let their firearms licenses lapse or don't follow covid quarantines.
Do you believe no member of your family has ever experienced poverty and had to steal to survive? What a callous thing to say.
I don't believe anyone has to steal to survive. Food from government services and charity are abundant.

Nearly all theft is from drug addiction and greed.

....idiot.
