Outlaw Tech

A new Wild West has emerged, and the tools of the trade are a mix of biology, physics, chemistry and technology. "Outlaw Tech" looks at how rogue science has completely transformed the underworld and the top-notch work law enforcement attempts to stay one step ahead of the criminals. Hourlong episodes feature cat and mouse escapades with high-tech arsenals, used to hack banks, museums, casinos, prisons and more, at the forefront. Actual cases are described in detail, a step-by-step battle royale pitting flashy outlaw science against cutting-edge security systems and hardened investigation techniques. Among the crimes: a $100 million diamond heist that defied surveillance and advanced locks, a narcotics submarine used to transport 16,000 pounds of cocaine without being noticed by sonar, and a modern-day Jesse James who robbed banks by using only computers and cellphones as weapons.
