Unwarranted

In Unwarranted, Barry Friedman explores the connection between major events like Snowden’s surveillance leaks and the Ferguson protests, arguing that the real issue lies in how society permits secretive and often overreaching policing practices. The book highlights the dramatic changes in law enforcement driven by technology, from mass surveillance to militarized tactics, and examines the impact on ordinary lives. Through compelling stories and analysis, Friedman suggests that the problem is not only with police agencies but also with societal choices and the court system's failings.
