James Just and Jason McPhee break down a week of stories that all orbit one central theme: when government power expands without restraint, ordinary people pay the price. The show opens with the explosive fallout from multiple investigations into Flock license-plate reader misuse — at least 19 officers across five states fired, arrested, or under investigation for tracking citizens without legitimate cause. That segues into a federal lawsuit alleging Wisconsin deputies used the same system more than 100 times to retaliate against a Navy veteran who dared to record a traffic stop.
