I think it had a lot more to do with the local police being jerks and looking for an excuse to get a little revenge. The camera was in plain view and the property was posted. To me that’s implied consent. If you don’t like it, you are free to leave.

Situations like this have caused my personal view of law enforcement to evolve over time. When I was in my twenties, I was Mr Cooperation. Nowadays, I follow the ACLU guidelines to a tee.
