Seems common sense that the current laws don’t apply on the face. But that doesn’t stop police from making disingenuous arguments about why they chose to do what they already chose to do.
My concern is legislators actually passing a DMCA type law when the first person sneaks in to have sex in the Oval Office with face paint. The ‘something has to be done’ mentality seems to be sufficient to erode any constitutional protections (except amendment 2).
Like that woman who hacked the uber robot by walking across the street and letting it kill her?

What a time to be alive…
So, this is how they are going to nail Elaine Herzberg, for fooling an Uber self driving car. What vampires! She’s dead. Have SOME decency.
After watching all those Boston Dynamics videos I think anti-bullying laws are going to be more applicable. Robot tricking is just mean and can’t be good for their self-confidence.
