Why the need for the police?


In the first scene the police are called out to catch a runaway robot in a corn field, its shown to be not dangerous just out of control, the farmers are all laughing watching the police chase it when all they do is catch it and give it back to them.
Surely the farmers could of done this and not call the police for such a trivial thing?

Maybe the farmer' union won't let them handle the machines.
