The police can and will do all kinds of illegal things, regardless of the law. It's up to the courts and DoJ, etc, to sort that out after the fact, there's not much anyone can do before it happens.

And ironically, the courts and DOJ tend to not do anything unless publishers shine a spotlight on it. Luckily the internet has done away with most local news making everyone in the chain's life easier.
As far as I can tell, nothing here was illegal. That's sort of the problem...
