[ edit ]

Career
[ edit ]
Balko blogs about criminal justice, the drug war, and civil liberties. He has worked as an opinion writer for The Washington Post , a senior writer and investigative reporter for The Huffington Post [5] Reason Cato Institute , specializing in vice and civil liberties issues. He writes on drug policy , police misconduct , obesity , alcohol, tobacco, and civil liberties . He also writes on trade and globalization issues and more generally on politics and culture. He was also a biweekly columnist for Fox News from 2002 until 2009.[6] The Wall Street Journal Forbes Playboy TIME magazine The Washington Post Los Angeles Times Slate Reason Worth National Post Chicago Tribune CNN , CNBC , Fox News , MSNBC , and National Public Radio .[7] The Washington Post [8]
Balko's work on "no-knock " drug raids was profiled in The New York Times Stephen Breyer in his dissent in Hudson v. Michigan Cory Maye case; his work on the Maye case was cited by the Mississippi Supreme Court . He has also written extensively about the Ryan Frederick case and the raid on Cheye Calvo 's home.[9]
Balko has advocated the abolition of laws criminalizing drunk driving , arguing that the "punishable act should be violating road rules or causing an accident, not the factors that led to those offenses. Singling out alcohol impairment for extra punishment isn't about making the roads safer".[10]
He has expressed his position against the judicial policy of civil asset forfeiture , arguing that it is a "practice contrary to a basic sense of justice and fairness".[11]

In 2011, The Week [5] Los Angeles Press Club named Balko Best of Show Journalist of the Year, the judges saying:
Radley Balko is one of those throw-back journalists that understands the power of groundbreaking reporting and how to make a significant impact through his work. Time and time again, his stories cause readers to stop, think, and most significantly, take action.[14] [15]
