How do surveillance tools move from tracking where we go to controlling what we can do? In this episode, Todd Herman argues that automated license plate readers and related data systems are expanding beyond public safety, sharing a Connecticut family’s dispute over a vehicle tax assessment as a case study. He and guest Zach Abraham also discuss Washington State’s political direction, taxation, economic and cultural change, and why they believe people are leaving for reasons that go beyond money.
The conversation continues with commentary on media coverage of vaccine injuries, political rhetoric, and the role of faith and free speech. In a reflective closing, Todd shares personal stories about prayer, hardship, and what he believes it means to listen for God’s guidance.
