As technology evolves, police departments and the public are sold on the idea that modern equipment can make police fairer, more transparent, and less lethal. But too often, advances in technology fail to live up to those lofty expectations. In this episode, we hear from Matt Stroud, a journalist based in Pittsburgh and the author of the new book Thin Blue Lie: The Failure of High Tech Policing.
The book is available wherever books are sold. Matt is on Twitter [at]MattStroud. He is also the founder and publisher of Postindustrial, a news platform covering the region known as the Rust Belt. Visit postindustrial.com.
