593: Abundance of Caution

Contra Costa "Dirty DUI" Police Scandal

Former Contra Costa County Sheriff's deputy Stephen Tanabe is sentenced to 15 months in prison for his role in a "Dirty DUI" scheme. The hosts describe how Tanabe conspired with a private investigator to entrap men going through divorces by over-serving them at bars and arresting them as they drove away. They cite this as an example of the "police state" mentality where officers believe illegal entrapment is acceptable.
