"72. Be careful of trusting the leader of a freedom movement that is against surrogates, he may end up being one himself.
73. If you go to an area that has a sign no robots, make sure you don't have any metal on you or they may mistake you for one."
Corrollary to these:
72.5. If you are the leader of the anti-surrogate movement and yet are secretly a surrogate, you can walk from the robot-dominated area into the no-robot area without going through the same robot-detection security at the gates. (Even though the meatbags, not knowing their leader was a surrogate, would still have interest in ensuring that no impostor surrogate came masked as their leader or other key figure.)
(I'm assuming that the Prophet would have to go outside the no-robot area to charge, unless he had some charger hidden very well somewhere in the no-robot zone.)
"74. It's okay for police officers to be shot down and killed or machines damaged if in the robot free zones, because they was asking for it by being in the area."
Now for this, I assumed that the no-robot zones were like quasi-independent states (although probably more comparable to the "black homeland" ghetto/"nations" created by South Africa within its territory, in the latter days of apartheid), and that by treaty or joint agreement surrogates were forbidden, cops from the surrogate world had no jurisdiction, and indeed that surrogate cops could be lawfully shot on sight for violation of that first law. (Cops from the outside wearing their "meatbag suit" would be a different story probably, since killing an actual human is regarded in both worlds as murder, whereas destroying a surrogate is considered "vandalism" or something like that.)
