Civic Outlaws is a weekly podcast about civil liberties, transparency, and the quiet ways power gets abused—rule by rule, policy by policy. We track real-world cases where agencies, regulators, and other unelected systems push past lawful authority, then we map out what the public can do next: documentation, public-records work, legal direction, and community-backed pressure. Episodes focus on active investigations and recurring problem areas like selective enforcement, surveillance expansion, HOA abuse, timeshare deception, and regulatory intimidation—especially where ordinary people feel boxed in and outgunned. Follow the investigations, updates, and ways to get involved at CivicOutlaws.com.

This morning on Civic Outlaws, we break down Missouri’s legislative response to Loper Bright and what it means for administrative power in the Show-Me State. With amendments to RSMo 536.140, courts are no longer required to rubber-stamp agency interpretations. What does that mean for ATC licensing, regulatory overreach, and the growing surveillance state—from Flock cameras to checklist governance? We walk through the statute, the legal mechanics, and the political implications. Deference is no longer automatic. Now the real question is: will judges actually judge?

Welcome to the first Civic Outlaws broadcast—recorded on DAM Radio and built to shine a floodlight on government creep. Samuel Trapp explains why Chevron-style deference mattered, what Loper Bright changed, and why Missouri’s new §536.140 commands courts to stop deferring to agencies. Then he walks through the liquor-license fight that sparked Civic Outlaws, the Sunshine Law “priced-out” records game, and the culture shift when regulators act like police and morality judges. Plus: how licensing becomes coercion, why due process matters, and how to become a Civic Warrior supporter.
