That experience continues to shape his approach to laws and regulations governing today’s technology, which he believes, if not adequately regulated, poses a significant threat to society, particularly to young people.The conversation also covers New Mexico’s investigation into allegations that DEA agents knowingly allowed fentanyl to reach communities; the state’s refusal to release unredacted voter registration lists; and issues surrounding the ongoing investigation of Zorro Ranch.
