Dr. Angela J. Hattery & Dr. Earl Smith | Policing Black Bodies, Prison Inc., & The Poverty Trap
ALEC Lobbying, Corporate Influence and Prosecutor Accountability
The discussion turns to the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a lobby group where corporations and politicians collaborate to write legislation. The guests suggest that the legal system should require prosecutors to hold malpractice insurance, similar to doctors, to hold them accountable for hiding evidence or misconduct. Carlwood adds that police officers should also be required to carry insurance to price out those with a history of violence.
