Then one raid changed everything, and he flipped, becoming the man behind “Never Get Busted” and the cop-busting stings that made him a target of the very system he once served.  Joining investigative journalists ⁠⁠Mandy Matney and ⁠Liz Farrell⁠⁠ from his self-imposed exile in Vietnam, Barry pulls back the curtain on why cops really become cops, the “legal thievery” of civil asset forfeiture, why no-knock raids are unnecessary theater, and his radical blueprint for fixing American policing.  He also opens up about lawfare, PTSD, his award-winning documentary, and the 95% dismissal rate he’s earned freeing people from the drug war he once fought.
