The first one isn't very shocking; as far as i can tell, the police can generally get away with a whole lot of ethically and legally questionable things. It doesn't help that there are plenty of them who are complete douchebags.
The second one is silly if the guy warned them about he camera. Even if he didn't warn him about the camera, imagine how many robbery convictions would become null if it were actually illegal to videotape someone without his/her consent.
