Episode 07 · Telehealth Pill Mills, Black Box Warnings, and the Drug Test Certificates Filed in Video Court
Your Ex's Drug Test Came Back Clean. Did They Buy It Online?
Shawn walks through the DEA rule that lets controlled substances be sold through a video visit, the telehealth pill mills built on top of it, and the drug testing sites he says will turn a positive result into a negative certificate for filing in video court. His theory: that is wire fraud and evidence tampering hiding in plain sight. Plus black box warnings and substance induced disorders, the medication cocktails that change who a person is, what Shawn calls baby pill mills, the Connecticut letter confirming child protection staff may telework 80 percent of the time, and the law enforcement ladder for reporting all of it, patrol officer to detective to postal inspectors. Education, not legal advice.

Episode 06 · Willful Ignorance, Shadow Dockets, and the $120 Walkie-Talkie Experiment
A Family Court Judge Is Now a Convicted Felon
A family court judge is now a convicted felon. Leslie Ann Celebrezze, the administrative judge of Cuyahoga County's Domestic Relations Division, pleaded guilty in February 2026 to felony tampering with records after filing a journal entry that claimed a case was randomly assigned to her. She assigned it to herself. Sixty days in jail and a $10,000 fine, and it started with one person filing records requests plus reporting by the Marshall Project. Shawn uses her case to teach the concept underneath it all, willful ignorance and deliberate indifference, doing your damnedest not to know. Then a live walkie-talkie experiment shows what court-ordered co-parenting apps really are, a five minute miscommunication that bills $120 when four professionals read it at $300 an hour, and the DOJ's Ferguson report shows what it looks like when the Department of Justice investigates courts that ran on revenue. Education, not legal advice.

Episode 05 · A Kansas Felony Charge, Two Judges, and the Newspaper That Took Down an Attorney General
It's a Felony Everywhere Except Family Court
They call you crazy because you caught them. Shawn opens with the Martha Mitchell effect, then puts a real Kansas felony complaint on the table: a man charged with Making False Information after prosecutors alleged he handed his lawyer a false document that got filed in district court. Families report that exact story from family court every week, where it gets called a civil issue. Plus complaint versus indictment in plain English, a Milwaukee judge convicted of felony obstruction, and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch investigation that ended a Missouri attorney general's career in federal court. Education, not legal advice.

Episode 04 · What's Actually in the Parenting App's Terms
It's Not an App. It's Social Media.
Shawn reads the professional terms aloud, including the clause letting professionals buy parent account coupons in volume, at a discount. Plus why a court-ordered portal meets the dictionary definition of social media, how AI tone-flagging produces a "high conflict" label, and the New Mexico jury verdict form against Meta. Starts with a joke about chickens that costs nothing said out loud. Education, not legal advice.

Episode 03 · Patrol, Detective, SWAT, Task Force: Who Actually Investigates
Why Fraud Never Gets a Detective
Shawn answers the question families ask most, laying out every player in law enforcement and walking a report from the patrol officer who takes it, to the detective it may never reach, to the task force complex fraud actually requires. Plus how to push it up the chain when nothing moves, Charles Ponzi's 1922 letters, and the FBI's own posting recruiting attorneys as special agents. Education, not legal advice.

Episode 02 · Rule 8.2, the Cast of Characters, and the $50,000 Invoice
Why Shawn Calls Virtual Court a Fraud
Open courtrooms forced settlement and kept everyone honest in public view — Shawn's theory on what Zoom court took away. Plus the ethics rule that stops lawyers from naming names, the fictional cast led by Robert Baratheon that lets Shawn teach the patterns anyway, and auditing a guardian ad litem's bills for wire fraud clues. Education, not legal advice — and the characters are fiction.
