Peel back the curtain on Scientology's clandestine world where former LAPD officer Eugene Ingram steps into the spotlight, not for heroics, but for his controversial role as a Scientology private eye. Embark on this investigative journey with us as we expose Ingram's alleged misconduct and reveal how the church's legal maneuverings shield their investigators. Discover the shocking stories from the LA Times that paint a grim picture of Ingram's underworld dealings, from fencing stolen cars to playing a part in organized prostitution rings.

The saga intensifies as we uncover the audacious wiretap of Boston attorney Michael Flynn, orchestrated by Ingram under the guise of police authority. This alarming chapter in Scientology's playbook unfolds with a letter from 1985 that sets off a bombshell of privacy invasion and legal transgressions. Listen as we take apart California's wiretapping laws, explore the interconnected web of ex-officers turned PIs, and dive into the LAPD's response, led by then-Chief Darryl Gates, to the ensuing wiretapping scandal—a cautionary tale of unchecked surveillance in the '80s.

Rounding out our expose, I detail a personal brush with Scientology's relentless surveillance tactics. A simple hotel visit in Hollywood escalates to a high-stakes game of pursuit with a Ford F-150, driving home the unnerving reality of being a target. The confrontation with the PI, a familiar face from my past entanglements with Scientology, lays bare the church's far-reaching grasp, as I share firsthand accounts of dodging their persistent tails. This episode doesn't just recount thrilling encounters—it's a sobering reflection on the battle for personal freedom in the face of relentless intrusion.
