Anybody else ever read the book "Robots have no Tails" written over 50 years ago by Henry Kuttner and his wife?

I remember thinking it was fall-over funny as a teenager at least-- one of the stories in the book revolved around an inventor who created the world's most intelligent and capable robot. Unfortunately he created it while he was on a drunken bender and had no idea what purpose he had intended for the robot now that he was sober. In the end he finds that he had created the perfect robot so it could fetch and open beers for him.

It should not be permitted, failure comply with instructions by a border guard should remain illegal.

But a felony conviction and a 2-3 year sentence for that? It should be a misdemeanor, sentenced to time served or community service, and if the tape shows the border guard assaulting him without good cause the guard should be in court as well.

If the original claim, that he attempted to strangle an officer had held water, sure, that's a felony. But it didn't. Nothing in what he did amounts to a felony offense in my opinion.
