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.

    I seem to recall seeing a post when this video first surfaced that suggested that the issuance of licenses to run these dispensaries was not entirely above board and that the raid may have had its origins in this not-entirely open and transparent licensing regime.

    In other words, someone was suggesting that the intent of the raid was to wreck the place.

    I have no knowledge of the truth of this allegation. It sounds rather unlikely to me.
