Police who raided a marijuana store, destroying security cameras and the DVR, harassing the store's customers, consuming edible marijuana products, and playing darts, were caught on camera. The cops claim that said recording is illegal because the cops had an expectation of privacy after destroying all of the security cameras.
I wish I could make up this stuff.

Those weren't police in the raid, regardless of whatever paperwork and other official detritus they might have claiming the contrary.
They're armed masked thugs and bandits, common criminals in fancy costumes. They are as much of a threat to society as any other organized criminal gang.
Prudence dictates behaving with extreme caution when dealing with such violently ruthless people, especially when they run in groups like this -- which may well include offering the pretense of respect.
But there's no way to actually respect anybody who wears the colors of the Santa Ana Police Gang after this.

I'm sure that there are a few nice and ethical cops in America, just as there is certainly an equal proportion of nice and ethical gangsters.

You mean that it's just a case of 99% giving the rest a bad name?
It's NOT a conspiracy... it's a plot.

Assuming your 99% giving the rest a bad name was actually correct, we would have a lot more troubles than we do. In actuality, despite what the internet hordes may want you to believe, there are less than 1% bad cops giving the greater than 99% good cops a bad name. That may vary depending on location, though. Most police officers are trying to do right by their families and doing something messed up like this doesn't help.

For the "less than 1% bad cops" to get away with it, most cops have to be complicit by not reporting the 1%, and I would not call those cops that cover up for the bad cops "good cops", therefore even if you only define a small percentage as bad, most cops certainly are not good cops.

> Police Claim Recording of Marijuana Dispensary Raid is Illegal
No, Marijuana Dispensary claims Police Raid is Illegal. And everyone who was part of it should land in jail for many years, just like any of us lowly citizens would. Anything less destroys the so called moral authority of the law.
Welcome to your "war on mere objects" America! Disgusting. How much more do we need to see before we agree it is far past time for all of this nonsense to end.
