[Context: robots on planet Jean are exhibiting personhood (I don't remember whether this is just before or just after they gained legal status), trying to learn about morality, and even joining the police force. Someone has recently been apprehended after a foiled plot to lobotomize every robot on the planet... The Chief of Police is speaking:]

"[...] I plan to prosecute. If we expect robots to support the rule of law, we have to show the law will protect them when they're wronged. If the robots observe the law does not support them, or worse, that the law and police are their enemy, we've set ourselves up for failure." -- from Freefall by Mark Stanley, 2015-07-24
