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 may be naïve in asking this, but why should they have the right to destroy and of the security cameras or the DVR, as this was the normal security setup in this shop, they weren't being filmed or recorded by a specific individual of the public, rather by a security system.
No matter the law applicable shouldn't this be deemed as the destruction of public property first.

the equipment was in the store as I read it. So, destruction of private property.
But better is destruction of evidence. The cameras recorded them coming into the shop.
