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.

  Bingo.
  Those who haven't done so yet need to find a copy of Frank Serpico's story of trying to root out the bad apples.

  In a related storyline, a United Auto Workers local has called for the expulsion of the International Union of Police Associations from the UAW.

  Want to change the status quo?
  What is needed to weed out bad cops is a Special Prosecutor who deals ONLY with police malfeasance.
  Everyone should be pressing his gov't representatives at every level to implement that.
  Getting rid of bad cops is an issue where Ralph Nader's Left-Right Coalition shows itself to be an excellent notion with a clear majority on each side of the traditional divide.

  N.B. Current California Attorney General Kamala Harris is opposed to this notion and as a result I do not support her run for the US Senate.
