🔥 NEW FEATURE: Behind the Camera

Most people know Don Matthews as the cop watcher. The auditor. The activist with a camera.

All from Mississippi. No CS degree. No team. No VC funding. No one's permission.

This is the story of the man who wears every hat.

🚨 VINDICATED: DA Refuses ALL Charges Against Journalist Assaulted at New Orleans City Hall

They split his head open. They charged HIM with a crime. They threw him in jail. They hid the evidence.

And the Orleans Parish District Attorney just confirmed what every document in this case already proved: it was ALL a lie.

Code 433 — "REFUSED — Law Enforcement Issue."

The cops are the problem.

On November 12, 2025, independent journalist Matthew Reardon walked into New Orleans City Hall to cover public proceedings. A security guard violently attacked him, splitting his head open. He left in an ambulance.

By sundown that same day, NOPD charged THE JOURNALIST — not the attacker.

Then they:
❌ Let the actual attacker walk free
❌ Used the false charge to DENY his public records request for the security footage
❌ Arrested him during a winter storm 2 months later
❌ Lied about bond requirements to keep him locked up
❌ Dumped him on the streets 150 miles from his car
❌ Closed his records request and called it done

The DA looked at NOPD's work and gave it ONE code: 433 — Law Enforcement Issue.
