In the latest episode of Yankee Institute's podcast Y CT Matters, Greg Dillion — a former FBI agent and author of The Thin Blue Lie: An Honest Cop vs The FBI — chronicles the retaliation he experienced after whistleblowing FBI misconduct to his boss, the head of all law enforcement in Connecticut.
Rest in peace to Olivia Newton John. Norm opens the first hour of the Norm Pattis Show by honoring the memory of the 4-time Grammy Award winning singer songwriter. Norm then attends to a listener call about Joe Ganim, the current Mayor of Bridgeport, Connecticut, and the evidence presented by the FBI that eventually put Ganim in prison. The query: does Ganim deserve a second chance? In this case, the question is whether Ganim should be authorized to practice law again. Will the commissioners bite? And what about Magical Fantasia? The Connecticut Post just gave it the most raving review. The author of "The Thin Blue Lie", Greg Dillon, joins Norm to discuss the emerging phenomenon of retaliation in connection with whistleblower attempts to reveal FBI misconduct. Norm uses the opportunity to discuss the fourth amendment to the United States Consitution and the 'particularity' requirement that precludes the government from engaging in unreasonable searches and seizures of citizens. Of course, the impetus for this discussion is the recent news out of Florida that President Donald Trump's personal home at Mar-a-Lago was subject to a FBI raid supported by a warrant that has not yet made its way to the public.

The second hour opens with Norm rocking it solo while the studio crew battles against the deep state to get his guest on the line. Face-to-face meetings are a good thing. Norm is put off by a local Board of Alderman's move to continue indefinitely with remote hearings and meetings. Norm talks about what he calls "the Handshake Economy" and what America is losing when chooses to prioritize the disembodied voice over real human interaction. Isolation is the true killer. Greg Dillon, former law enforcement officer and author of The Thin Blue Lie: An Honest Cop vs. the FBI, reports for radio duty and discusses his long career in law enforcement, time with the FBI, and the inspiration for his book. Norm and Greg discuss the logistics of becoming an agent in the 80s, Norm's admiration for such service work, and what in American culture has perhaps changed. Like, share, and subscribe!

Like everyone else, police are inundated with new gadgets and technologies promised to make their jobs easier. But do they? In his new book, Thin Blue Lie, investigative journalist Matt Stroud digs deeps into the background of various police technologies' promises and perils. In this episode of the Modern Law Library, Stroud speaks with the ABA Journal's Jason Tashea about how the desire for quick technological fixes can compound the problems that technology was supposed to solve.

Sometimes people ask us why we write so much about the police on Techdirt. Though our coverage has grown somewhat beyond the boundaries of incidents directly involving technology, the reality is that the problems with law enforcement persistently intersect with the same technological and legal issues we've always discussed here. But this week the focus is squarely on cops and technology: Mike is joined by Matt Stroud, author of the new book Thin Blue Lie, as well as our own Tim Cushing, to talk about the failure of high-tech policing.
How technology has impacted policing has come up on this show far more than you would expect, if you think about it. So, when listener of the show Matt Stroud got in touch to talk about his new book about the impact of technology on policing, I said: yes please. The book is coming out this week, it's called Thin Blue Lie: The failure of high tech policing. Reading the book, a couple of things surprised me. As you'll hear, policing wasn't very tech or data driven until very recently, and like in other areas, it just seems like throwing technology at a problem, does not solve everything magically. In fact, there can be serious unintended consequences. And also, I was surprised how much the theme and anecdotes in the book lined up with some of the things we've discussed on this show. IE: technology is a tool, but data and gadgets still need a human element to be used effectively, especially when you're dealing with, you know, humans. Subscribe to the Premium, Ad-Free Feed!
