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.

    "No knock" raids with stun grenades, machine guns, and tanks at dawn are the standard in drug raids. They used a battering ram because "drugs". They need no other justification.

    Standard police procedure for a raid includes having officers at all possible exits. From the video, it didn't look like anyone actually came in through the front door. They should have had a couple of officers standing by the fire escape and then the majority come through the front door and sweep the place. The repeated calls of 'clear' as they come in show how badly trained these people are - they're shouting it like they've seen it in an action film, not for its intended purpose and there's far too much chatter for an efficient operation. Whoever is responsible for police training there has several reasons to be worried about their job.
