    SAFE-T Act: Prosecutor says defendant rights are trumping victim rights (Pt 3)
    2025/08/11
    In the final chapter of our three-part SAFE-T Act special, host Garry McCarthy sits down with Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow to examine the controversial law from the prosecutor’s chair. Glasgow details how new restrictions “handcuff” those seeking justice, why enforcing warrants is critical to curbing crime, and how a new bill in Springfield could make most routine traffic stops—like expired plates or speeding—illegal. They explore why such stops remain a vital crime-fighting tool, and the unique risks officers face every day. Beyond the headlines, Glasgow shares his decades of public service, his unwavering support for police K-9 units, and the charities he founded that pair service dogs with child survivors of sexual abuse—helping them through the darkest moments of investigations. The conversation closes with a rare, behind-the-scenes look at Glasgow’s prosecution of Drew Peterson, the twists of the trial, and the unanswered questions that linger to this day. 00:00 Introduction 00:54 Meeting James Glasgow – Career path, shared history with Garry, and early life. 04:25 Giving Back to the Community – Adoption story, youth programs, and character education. 06:42 The SAFE-T Act from a Prosecutor’s View – How it passed, early problems, and pushing for fixes. 10:07 Warrants, Felony Murder, and Public Safety – Why enforcement matters and the risks of recent legal changes. 14:54 Proposed Ban on Routine Traffic Stops – From expired plates to excessive tint, and why officers push back. 18:46 Doing the Right Thing in High-Profile Cases – Kevin Fox, Internal Affairs stories, and navigating politics. 25:34 Protecting Animals and Supporting K-9 Units – From felony animal abuse laws to police dogs saving lives. 35:04 The Hidden Costs of Training – Overtime, quality issues, and AI-based instruction. 37:29 Dangerous Crimes That Aren’t Detainable – Fentanyl, threats to public officials, and gaps in the law. 38:01 Body Cam Restrictions and Human Memory – Why report-writing rules mattered. 44:36 The Drew Peterson Cases – Murder-for-hire plot, Savio’s death, and conviction. 51:03 Final Reflections on Public Safety – Risks officers take, balancing justice, and doing the job right. 53:49 Conclusion Learn more about your ad choices.

    Safe-T Act debate intensifies: Lawmakers from both sides share views (Pt 2)
    2025/07/31
    In the second episode of our three‑part SAFE‑T Act series, Illinois House Speaker Pro Tempore Representative Kam Buckner and State Senator John Curran join the conversation—bringing perspectives from both sides of the General Assembly. They discuss how the bill was crafted without meaningful input from local law enforcement, the shift from reactive to proactive policing by blending data-driven models with broken‑windows theory, and the lessons learned from police chiefs across the country. They also unpack the behind‑the‑scenes political currents that shape policing in ways the public rarely sees, the urgency to act following high‑profile tragedies like George Floyd and Laquan McDonald, and the debate over wise versus wasteful use of police resources—especially given Chicago’s unique history and violence patterns.

  • SAFE-T Act under fire: Police argue it benefits criminals, hurts officers (Pt. 1)

    SAFE-T Act under fire: Police argue it benefits criminals, hurts officers (Pt. 1)
    2025/07/18
    In this first episode of a three-part series on Illinois' controversial SAFE-T Act, former Chicago Police Commissioner Garry McCarthy sits down with suburban police chiefs Marc Maton (Lemont, IL) and Tom Herion (Village of Lyons) to dig into what law enforcement veterans really think about the law. They open up about being completely shut out of the negotiation process, how the reforms are impacting both police and judicial decision-making, and the unintended mess that happens when civilians try to "police the police." From pre-trial release to electronic monitoring, they argue that post-bail reform is missing the mark — and what it’ll take to get it right. This is a straight-talking, boots-on-the-ground look at the real-world effects of reform through the eyes of those sworn to uphold the law. Learn more about your ad choices.
