The Prime Directives...Directive 4.
RoboCop is programmed to follow four prime directives (the first three are comparable to Asimov's Laws of Robotics):
1. "Serve the public trust"
2. "Protect the innocent"
3. "Uphold the law"
4. "Classified" (see below)
The fourth directive, which he was programmed to be unaware of unless it became relevant, rendered him physically incapable of placing any senior OCP employee under arrest ("Any attempt to arrest a senior OCP officer results in shutdown" - although it's not clear if this is the actual wording of the directive). In the first movie, it made him unable to act against corrupt Vice-President Richard "Dick" Jones until Jones was fired by the chairman of OCP.
In RoboCop 3, Directive Four is labelled as "Never oppose an OCP officer". Also noteworthy is that Directive 4 has been erased twice, in each of the sequels. RoboCop 2 sees the deletion of all of the directives.

serve the public
protect the peace
cant arrest an ocp opperative
so when the dude gets fired he arrests him
in robo 2 tho he goes mental because law 1 & 2 overided law 3.
& in robo 3 he becomes a panzie because of too many directives eg knitting club.

they were called Directives and robocop had about 4 of them and in robocop 2 they were trying to prove he was obselete vs the new model and extended em to about 30 to make him more of a wuss then what he was created for which was the ultimate one man OCP SWAT trooper
Robocop aka Alex Murphy erased them manually in robocop 2 by gripping a power substation trunk line hence erasing his old programming and resetting his Directives to the original set

I believe that they called the "rules" for Robocop his "prime directives," similar to the 3 laws the robots use in "I, Robot." I am not sure how the prime directives were worded though, sorry.

may not attack or arrest OCP officers.
