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.

    The issue at hand is that there are countless cases where police have claimed it is illegal to film them - and in many, they have won. If successful, this would be a new boundary.

    That being said, I can't see this being successful. It reminds me of the tale of someone on trial for murdering his parents, and begging for mercy because he's an orphan.
