Policing the Open Road: How Cars Transformed American Freedom 

bySarah Seo

Yet nowhere are we more likely to encounter the long arm of the law than in our cars. Drawing on archival evidence, political analysis, and reconstructed events, the narrative gives Policing the Open Road a concrete sense of time, place, and consequence. Across the book, how cars transformed american freedom becomes a way to examine power, adaptation, responsibility, and change within law and political science. Policing the Open Road ultimately offers a nuanced guide to the evidence, the human stakes, and the consequences that make this subject worth revisiting.
