Cops
filmed behaving badly say pot shop’s camera illegally recorded raid
- because when they destroyed the cameras they missed one!
Their
argument being, they were sure they had trashed all the cameras, and
therefore they had a reasonable expectation of privacy! I hope they
don't get away with this, but they're cops so they probably will. But if
the judge allows this crazy argument, will everybody then be able to
use it?

Did you hear the one about the cops not wanting to use a store's surveillance tape to help solve a crime?
Who could blame these Santa Ana cops? Video
shows them smashing surveillance cameras, harassing a woman in a
wheelchair, and perhaps even munching on marijuana-infused products
after they stormed a medical marijuana shop in Southern California,
which was being investigated for allegedly operating unlawfully in the
city.
Three of the unidentified cops are demanding
that a judge block the police department from using the tapes against
them as the department investigates the officers' conduct during the May
raid. The cops at the center of the investigation say the Sky High
Medical Marijuana Dispensary illegally recorded them because the
officers believed they had disabled all the store's cameras and
therefore had an expectation of privacy "that their conversations were
no longer being recorded," according to the cops Aug. 5 lawsuit. (PDF)
The suit says the tapes were also "edited" and cannot be relied upon.
A hearing on the issue is scheduled for Monday in Orange County Superior Court.
The dispensary's attorney, Matthew Pappas, said
in a telephone interview with Ars that "there is nothing doctored in
those videos. Those videos are what the officers did."...

What else can one expect when you give adrenalin addicted corporate thugs a gun, badge, 007 license and they put on their magic suits? Take a guess who instructs these Blue Gang members how to function and deal with the public and those they continue to rob and plunder? It is unbelievable that the people continue to put up with this robbery, plunder, harm and even murder condoned, supported and enforced under the illusion of law, respectability and power.
Unfortunately this will continue to be business as usual until the people wake up and move to a higher level of consciousness which by the way is in progress. There is soon coming a major wake up call to those responsible for all the evil and suffering in this world. Hopefully we will have the eyes to see and the ears to hear.
