He told the jail he had pepper spray. Indiana still convicted him for keeping it.
Season 2, Episode 3 of Tales from the Brown Desk. Indianapolis criminal defense attorneys Jake and Kassi Rigney sit down with Teri to unpack a new Indiana Supreme Court case, two local judges facing misconduct charges, ICE activity in Indianapolis, a leftover Flock-camera question, the Glock Switch, and two Florida Man stories.
In this episode:
• Flock cameras leftover: if the footage catches a crime, can charges be filed?
• Gary v. State (Ind. April 9, 2026): 3 a.m. on a friend’s couch, no booking search, a “starter kit,” and the Supreme Court saying the crime was not handing it over
• Fox 59: misconduct charges against Marion Superior Judges Jose Salinas and Geoffrey Gaither
• ICE in Indianapolis: what bystanders can do, what to do if you are the one in the car, and what Braun, Hogsett, and Banks actually said
• Glock Switch: answers must start with the letter G
• Florida Man: the swamp and the man under the hotel bed.
This is not legal advice. It is two foul-mouthed Indianapolis defense attorneys and their co-host talking through real cases and current events.

September 04, 2026 Tales from the Brown Desk - Season 2, Episode 2 - Indiana v. Manges, Flock Cameras, Glock Switch, & Florida Man
Send us Fan Mail
Welcome back to Tales from the Brown Desk.

This week we have a brand-new Indiana Court of Appeals decision out of Hendricks County. The trial judge took the victim off the witness stand. The Court of Appeals said not so fast. That case is State v. Manges.

Then Flock cameras — those little solar poles that photograph your plate on the way to Kroger. Who Flock says they are. What the patents say they can do.

We also put a Glock switch in the show with a new segment. Five questions. Four-word answers.
And like always, we wrap it with Florida Man.
Not legal advice.
