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.

Just burn them at the stake. Lynch them. Set an example. No one is above the law. And, that goes for the judge who is to rule on the matter.
Besides, there were SIGNS UP, warning one and all that they were being recorded. If the morons weren't smart enough to destroy ALL the cameras, they still had all the warning that any law could reasonably expect that they were being recorded.

"Just burn them at the stake. Lynch them. Set an example. No one is above the law."
Funny, I had the same reaction about you when you dribbled diarrhea out your keyboard about being able to do whatever you wanted with other people's creative and intellectual works. Why is it you get to choose which laws everyone is not above and which laws everyone is above?
You really are a shivering, coward of a nobody pretending to be so big and so dominating. Do you cry often when you are alone?

IP = Imaginary Property
You don't get to lock people up for "taking" your Imaginary Property. Physical assets are not to be confused with Imaginary Property.

So if I transfer all of your money out of your bank account into mine, you think I shouldn't be locked up? Bits on a computer aren't physical assets, after all; you exchanged your physical asset for an imaginary property representing them. I really hope that you don't actually mean what you said but instead meant to say something along the lines of "copying isn't stealing"; if I copy your imaginary representation of a physical asset, you lose nothing, but if I take it, you are certainly deprived of a real asset.

"dribbled diarrhea out your keyboard"?
Look, if you want to succeed as an artist you need to be less bitter about things you cannot control.

Using an AC account claiming others are cowards. Real genius we got here.

When police refuse to do their jobs, vigilantism becomes inevitable. The citizens delegate justice to the legal system to ensure its fair and impartial, however if the legal system consistently fails for years on end to do fulfill its purpose, the citizens' hands are forced, leaving them no choice but to rescind their delegation of power and take matters into their own hands.

You do see the irony in this one line, don't you? "Lynch them" means to punish them without trial, outside the law and the juridical system. As in asking people to put themselves above the law.

I might point out that there is a subtle difference between "extrajudicial" and "superjudicial". Today, the police think that they are superjudicial.
However, the second AC to post before you nailed it, perfectly.
