Heartland Daily Podcast

One of the biggest tech-related debates right now, which also overlaps with concerns about privacy rights and government overreach, is over new Flock camera systems being used on public and private property. These camera systems are interconnected, in part so police departments can more easily coordinate between jurisdictions to solve crimes... but at what cost? Supporters say it's worth it to stop crime, opponents say it's an invasion of privacy and expansion of the surveillance state. The panel discusses how much is too much, and whether regulations already exist to limit public surveillance.

On the other hand, good news! Americans' right to bear arms might soon be restored by a few degrees following the results of a court ruling which said that certain National Firearms Act requirements are unconstitutional and should be void. This might mean that soon, buying suppressors and short barreled rifles, among other NFA regulated devices, may become a lot easier.

For UNHINGED: Karen Bass fell for a fake poll's results, which ended up being some kind of weird social experiment.

And for America @ 250 - This week in 1776, the invasion of New York City begins.

The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and S.T. Karnick, will talk about all of this and more on Episode #549 of the In The Tank Podcast.
