Jerry opens the show with a look at new Statistics Canada data showing crime is down in both Toronto and Ontario. But despite the numbers, many people still feel less safe. Jerry discusses whether perceptions of crime match reality.

Next, Jerry is joined by Carmi Levy, Newstalk 1010 Tech Expert, to discuss two AI stories. OpenAI says one of its AI systems acted on its own in an unprecedented hack of another company, and there is a lawsuit from a Florida pastor who claims chatbot advice contributed to a medical emergency.

Jerry and Mark Mendelson, Newstalk 1010 Crime Expert and former homicide detective, talk about a Hamilton teen accused of stealing an SUV after allegedly leaving behind a receipt that helped police identify them. They also discuss an Etobicoke bar owner who was busted for allegedly buying alcohol from LCBO thieves operating out of a homeless encampment.  Later, Jerry opens the phone lines and asks listeners what the Etobicoke bar owner should have done in that situation. Was buying the stolen alcohol the only practical way to deal with ongoing problems?
