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'm sure that there are a few nice and ethical cops in America, just as there is certainly an equal proportion of nice and ethical gangsters.

    You mean that it's just a case of 99% giving the rest a bad name?

      Assuming your 99% giving the rest a bad name was actually correct, we would have a lot more troubles than we do. In actuality, despite what the internet hordes may want you to believe, there are less than 1% bad cops giving the greater than 99% good cops a bad name. That may vary depending on location, though. Most police officers are trying to do right by their families and doing something messed up like this doesn't help.

        For the "less than 1% bad cops" to get away with it, most cops have to be complicit by not reporting the 1%, and I would not call those cops that cover up for the bad cops "good cops", therefore even if you only define a small percentage as bad, most cops certainly are not good cops.
