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.

Tu quoque. Why aren't you doing so too? In fact, how do you know he's not? One person can only do so much, and few people are as charismatic as MLK.

Close, but I never stated or implied that the point wasn't valid or should be ignored based on his hypocrisy, which is what makes it a fallacy ('you're not also doing it, so your point is invalid'). There's nothing fallicious about simply pointing out hypocrisy.

Then it's not close; my implication that it was an example of tu quoque was simply incorrect. But it is hard to tell sometimes, as hypocrisy is often used as a way to dismiss someone's arguments in and of itself.
