When you have a job to do, you have a job to do.
At least that’s the work ethic of a food delivery robot named Connie, whose nonchalant actions went viral this week after dropping by a Los Angeles crime scene.
the videoshared across various social media platformsshows Connie driving down a sidewalk on Tuesday and stopping at an intersection before the crime scene.
People who appear to be television cameras in the video see the robot stop before the yellow crime scene tape, apparently calculating its next move. After a few seconds, one of them lifts the tape and the robot continues on its way.
As the robot passes a group of uniformed police officers at the scene, some of the officers turn around in apparent bewilderment as they watch it pass.

The crime scene emerged an active shooter call at Hollywood High School, according to Los Angeles schools. Shortly before 9:45 a.m., the Los Angeles Police Department responded to the school for a report of a shots fired call.
In the end, said school district Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho LAPD determined the call was a hoax.
And Connie, who the video shows following along her route, does not appear to have been charged with interfering with police.
