Engineers can only do so much. They can increase protection in some areas, but often it leaves other areas vulnerable. That's why you can't build an indestructible tank... because if you did, it would hardly be usable in most circumstances.
Remember that engineers have been working for years to develop self-driving cars... and yet they can still mistake a white semi-trailer next to them as being clear sky. Even if a technology is "perfected" over decades, it can still be destroyed by the most mundane things.
I would pit human ingenuity vs. someone's "ultimate crime fighting tool" or "super weapon" any day. Give me 1 day of looking at and being in close proximity to something like those "robot dogs" and I could give you at least 4 easy, inexpensive ways to disable it. Give me a week with the remains of that "robot dog", and I could develop dozens of ways to defeat it, mis-direct it, disorient it or even make it use it's own strength to destroy itself. However, there are many far more clever than me... and they would figure out equally effective means.
The one overall thing to keep in mind: So long as GOOD people are running the programs, legitimate law enforcement or military is engaged and there is no corruption involved... then I have zero problem with the technology. If corrupt people or corrupt agencies are involved... then the true fight isn't against the "robot dog".
Not trying to get too personal but are you a chemist or something? This sort of thing does intrigue me a bit but I have basically no relevant knowledge.
