'What's the charge?' makes no sense
We are shown a Television News Broadcast in the beginning. This includes a short clip about dead cops and Clarence Boddicker's name and photo as the main 'suspect'.
Now, when Robocop brings exactly this guy in, shouldn't EVERY SINGLE COP IN EXISTENCE know about him, his face and his charges? Also, 'he's a cop-killer' is NOT a CHARGE, just a description of what Robocop thinks he is (which means, he should've added the word 'alleged', because at that point, it's not a verified fact, only his opinion/conclusion, which shouldn't even weigh that much, because 'he' is just an 'it' at that point, a robot, a product, as the 'buddy-boy' so heavily emphasizes, so why would its opinions matter, especially as much as actual facts? Why would a robot be so opinionated instead of fact-based anyway?).
Everyone, at least every COP should know more about Clarence than a darn news reporter, so when they see him being brought in, it should be BEYOND EXTREMELY CLEAR what his 'charge' is (why not say it in plural anyway, as if he can only have ONE charge!)... RIGHT?
What kind of sense does it make that the cop boss sees him being brought in, and cool as a cucumber, casually asks this MACHINE, 'what's the charge?'
I would reckon it makes no sense whatsoever. How could it?
He is also a NOTORIOUS criminal, part of a gang that has committed all kinds of offences, including punching and injuring officer Lewis, who could easily testify against him, not to mention all the things he has listed in his file, which the boss cop.. hasn't read?! WHAT?!
Movies would be so much more fun if they could make at least a little bit of sense somtimes.. sigh.
