🔍 Episode Overview:
Christina Peterson demanded divine protection. Atlanta Police handed her felony charges instead after a disturbance outside a Georgia pub on June 20th, 2024. From courtroom power to nightclub chaos, her gavel cracked fast. But when she tried to pull rank, the law didn’t flinch.

Sheriff James Lujan didn’t unlock his phone — but he did unlock charges when Española Police served a warrant at his New Mexico office on May 21st, 2020. He thought the badge would protect him - but the law proved otherwise.

Khursheed Ash-Shafii held office by day — and crashed into civilians by night when Highland Park Police responded to a crash in Michigan on April 7th, 2025. A councilman at the wheel, an injured passenger, and a refusal to let go of power.

Ian Smith wanted to run for Congress. But on March 27th, 2022, he was walking a line for Cinnaminson Police during a New Jersey traffic stop. He said he passed. They said he didn’t. From gym owner to candidate — and a failed campaign.
