City Cast Madison How to ID Unmarked Cop Cars. Plus, Burger King Faces Child Labor Violations
Unmarked Madison Police Department vehicles now have a placard in the windshield identifying them as MPD cars. This is in response to residents inquiring about how they can tell the difference between MPD cars and those belonging to ICE. Meanwhile, a company that owns a hundred Wisconsin Burger King restaurants has been accused of more than 1,600 child labor law violations by the state’s Department of Workforce Development. Executive producer Hayley Sperling breaks down this week’s news with producer Jade Iseri-Ramos and newsletter editor Rob Thomas. Plus, do you need Valentine’s Day plans? We’ve got you covered.
