In this episode of Joe Oltmann Untamed, what happens when power quietly shifts away from the people and into the hands of institutions that face little accountability? Across America, decisions are increasingly being made without public scrutiny, often long before citizens realize what’s at stake. In this episode, Joe Oltmann sits down with Timothy Barton to discuss his ongoing battle with the federal government and why he believes his case serves as a warning about the growing reach of federal authority.
The conversation also turns to the expanding use of surveillance technology, including Flock cameras and the growing network of automated license plate readers appearing in communities across the country. While supporters argue these tools help law enforcement solve crimes, critics warn that technology is not infallible and that mistakes can have serious consequences. What happens when a camera gets it wrong? And how much power should government agencies have to track, monitor, and act on the data they collect? This is a timely discussion about freedom, accountability, and why Americans should pay attention before important rights are surrendered without a fight.
