3404 - How "Criminal Justice Reform" Can Be Deceiving w/ Alec Karakatsanis
Manage episode 434246773 series 1816
It's Hump Day! Sam speaks with Alec Karakatsanis, founder of the Civil Rights Corps and author of Alec's Copaganda Newsletter on SubStack, to discuss his recent writings on police body cameras. First, Sam runs through updates on the US Presidential race, dropping inflation, Ilhan Omar’s primary W, continuing US military support for Israel, breaking up Google, Imane Khelif, and Starbucks’ new CEO, also parsing through some solid pro-union posturing coming from Tim Walz. Alec Karakatsanis then joins, diving right into the body camera’s shady origins as a piece of technology corporations were pitching TO police and prosecutors, touching on how it would serve as an incredibly dynamic, police-controlled node in the industry’s goal of a mass surveillance network, alongside providing massive contract opportunities to tech corporations. After expanding on the role of AI and facial/vocal recognition in body cameras’ use, Karakatsanis explores the particular role prosecution played in pushing for the use of this technology, helping provide curated evidence to keep the rapid churn of low-level convictions and plea deals moving at a rate that can support the US’ incomparably massive prison system. Wrapping up, Alec walks Sam through the unsurprising failure of the body camera policy, and what this saga can tell us about the efficacy and prevalence of copaganda.
And in the Fun Half: Sam unpacks the success of Harris’ campaign (so far), watches the GOP start to hedge their bets on Donald Trump, and parses through updates on the continuing horrors in Gaza, from their airstrikes on schools to their systemic use of rape on Palestinian captives, also touching on Harris’ role in US Foreign Policy heading into the election. Eric from Indianapolis on voting and foreign policy, RJ from Fresno on campaigning and messaging, and Kamala Harris previews some labor policy. Jimmy Dore on Trump out-lefting the Left, Joe Rogan on the real cost of COVID (nobody likes him anymore), and Imane Khelif launches a suit against her harassers. Brian from New Jersey wishcasts for VP, plus, your calls and IMs!
