We've got an awesome guest this week. Joanna Schwartz is a professor of law at UCLA and the author of "Shielded: How the Police Became Untouchable". Just how hard is it to hold the police accountable when they violate your constitutional rights? First, you're going to have to find a lawyer, and that might not be as easy as you'd think. Second, you'll have to beat the odds by getting a court to hear your case. Finally, if you are successful and a judge does decide that you're owed a nice big check, where does that money come from? You think you know what qualified immunity is, but specifics are hard to believe. Joanna Schwartz ended up being one of my favorite guests we've ever interviewed and certainly one of the smartest. Her new book is fascinating, and you can pick up a copy here.
