Corruption – The Pen Hustle With Brandy Cavalli

WATCH: “Kill. Bury. Print.” Documentary Uncovers Corruption in Small Town America

This new true crime documentary produced by Rachel Maddow covers the real-world investigation into corruption and press intimidation in remote southeast Oklahoma.

It follows a small family-run newspaper, the McCurtain Gazette, as they report on allegations of violence, drugs, and misconduct within the county sheriff’s office.

The documentary’s title comes from a secret audio recording obtained by the journalists, where local county officials were caught discussing hiring hitmen to kill and bury the reporters to prevent them from printing their stories.

Rapper Lil Durk Has Deep Gang Ties; Dad Big Durk Connected to Larry Hoover

Rapper Lil Durk is the stage name of Derrick ‘Durk’ Banks, a Chicago native from the Englewood area.

Although Lil Durk has also had major legal issues, including a current federal case, his legal situation is separate from his father’s history.

His father, Devontay ‘Big Durk’ Banks, was involved in Chicago’s drug trade in the early 1990s and was eventually sentenced to life in federal prison. He knew and was mentored by Larry Hoover.

Have You Been Flocked? Check to See if Your Vehicle Has Been Searched by Flock Cameras

Flock cameras are all the rage right now with critics arguing that the cameras are a violation of constitutional rights because they create a detailed record of where ordinary people drive, even when they haven’t committed a crime.

There have been multiple investigations involving officers allegedly using Flock to track ex-partners, coworkers, or other people for improper reasons. One Florida officer is accused of searching for his estranged wife’s vehicle more than 700 times.

Flock cameras are automated license-plate readers (ALPRs). They photograph vehicles and can record things such as the plate number, vehicle characteristics, location, and time. Police departments can then search the database during investigations.
