Clayton and Greg are joined by comedian and activist Eric André. In October 2022, Clayton and Eric sued the Clayton County Georgia Police Department (CCPD) and district attorney's office for being racially profiled, separately, at the Atlanta-Hartsfield Airport. Clayton and Eric speak to the anger and humiliation of being stopped on the jet bridge of their plane as they were boarding. But their lawsuit uncovered something neither expected, the CCPD seized more than $1 million from travelers even though they found no illegal drugs on them and the travelers were never charged with a crime. The CCPD relied on a constitutionally suspect practice known as Civil Asset Forfeiture.
