Police confirmed they had responded to a report of “criminal mischief involving a robot” on the 1200 block of Filbert Street around 1:16 p.m. on Wednesday. A woman on the scene ignored “multiple commands” to move, they said, resulting in a criminal violation notice for disorderly conduct.
Uber declined to comment.
Marvin, who plans to contest the charge on the grounds of her First Amendment right to protest, has been undeterred by the arrest. She plans to continue blocking Uber Eats robots and chatting with curious passersby who ask what she’s doing.
“It allows me to talk to people about what’s going on,” she said. “It’s always very interesting conversations that we have, and I think it’s good to have those kinds of conversations in public space.”
Steal one and inject a virus into it and then make it run into a wall a bunch of times, ensuring the complete destruction of the device… 😜 Call the nearest news outlet and claim that the robot was suicidal-homicidal and was trying to smash you and it into a wall and wait for a news report. The robots get pushed back by skepticism of safety towards humans.
i see you don’t know how the news works recently…
Broke: “Uber should hire real humans, not robots!”
Woke: “Uber is a complete rip-off with a deceptive pricing model that is doing nothing but fueling obesity rates, regardless. Never use it.”
Spending your time inconveniencing delivery robots is 100% jobless behaviour.
Is that really the best thing you have to do with your time?
Did you not read that she is retired??
“Carolyn Marvin, 78…”
Going hazard a guess that this is probably what gets her up in the morning.
What is the charge? Blocking a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?!
Aaannnnddd then?
I think hungry people are going to start stopping these because they have food in them.
It really pisses me off how pristine and undamaged that piece of shit looks.
“criminal mischief involving a robot”
Sounds like a cool name for an upbeat song by an avant garde electro-jazz group.
it sounds like a opportunity for jury nullification
Now where did I put my taser. /s
She was arrested for “disorderly conduct”, for just standing there.
What a badass.
The comments section on that article truly was a ride.
You weren’t kidding. The amount of confidently incorrect comments in there is astounding.
