Happy Shutdown Day! Join us this week as we talk about California police running a drug trafficking ring, an Ohio deputy killing an unarmed 16-year-old in the courthouse, and New York police being upset they’re not getting as many “get out of jail free” cards as they used to. Then in our #Law140 segment we talk about a viral video of CBP agents asking people for citizenship papers on a Greyhound bus in Florida, and talk about the statutes and case law making that legal.
