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.

You're right, I spoke too quickly without thinking it through properly so allow me a correction: as government agents, unconstitutional laws should definitely not be enforced - enforcing any law which violates the letter or spirit of the constitution should at a minimum cost them their job, however "unjust" laws are outside their domain and specialty. I don't expect them to be competent or informed enough to know what makes a law "unjust" (too subjective and too many ways a law could be "unjust", be it in its letter or in the consequences of enforcing it), however every officer of the law should be required to know the constitution inside and out because unconstitutional laws are void because they're unconstitutional.
