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.

    Is that French supposed to be "pour decourager les autres?" (To discourage the others). Encourager means "to encourage," I think

    The quote comes from Voltaire's novel Candide about Admiral John Byng who was court-martialled, found guilty and executed for failing to do all he could to fulfill his orders.

      Dans ce pay-ci, il est bon de tuer de temps en temps un amiral pour encourager les autres.

      In this country it is good to kill an admiral from time to time, to encourage the others.

        Gotcha, thanks. So, shoot the slow/bad ones to make the rest do a better job rather than make an example of the bad one to discourage bad behavior in the rest.

          As my original comment was "Fire each and every officer involved in the raid,, "Pour encourager les autres", I disagree. I would include the Chief of Police and chain of command to the raid as well.
