Authoritarian police states.

Doesn't look like it from the scene I saw.

So, it's commentary?

Is that sheria law police thing true?

Or the sheria law courts?

AFAIK yes?

AFAIK?

I don't really know all that much about it

what does AFAIK stand for?

Crime had been rising steadily since the 60’s. 1980 was the first time the homicide rate reached double digits per 100k. People were freaking out.
*Robocop* was filmed 7 years after that. Peak crack epidemic hysteria.
The idea “what can we do to stop this” and “but what about muh freedoms” were big issues being discussed.
*Robocop* was yet another film in a long line of films capitalizing on these themes.

Oh.

But you know also general sci-fi, transhumanism etc etc

I hope one day workers walk around with mechsuits.

THey already do
