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.

Except that you dont see video of the 10's of thousands that just 'do their job' every day, properly and without incident.
If we don't see them, what's to say they exist? Power corrupts, and the more we get to see, the more it appears that the people who are not corrupted by power are the very tiny minority.
Cops are the most powerful gang in town. That's all. It's possible there's the odd good one to the same degree that it's possible there's the odd good member of any other gang. But in either case, very few are good enough that they would actually whitleblow on the rest.
Hurrah! Quoting works now!
