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.

    There is an epic battle shaping up over transparency, privacy and surveillance, and while the NSA spying on us is part of the story, so is them and other officials being hoisted on their own petard another part. That is definitely "stuff that matters."

    It adds nothing to this narrative so, yes, it is basically just red meat for the echo chamber.

      Disagree. The court will make a ruling regarding surveillance and expectations of privacy, so this matters.
