Sunshine, Search Warrants & the ATC Stonewall | Civic Outlaws

On today’s Civic Outlaws, Samuel Trapp examines Missouri’s VLT enforcement fight through the lens of Sunshine Law requests, ATC delays, search warrant applications, and MOLAG’s compliance-and-communication initiative. The episode focuses on whether counties, sheriffs, and agencies have actual warrant-based evidence before threatening businesses over video lottery terminals and gray-market devices. Samuel also discusses ATC’s massive cost estimates, claims of lengthy review times, liquor-license pressure, Catherine Hanaway’s enforcement posture, and the broader problem of government using process to avoid accountability.
