When Joliet, Illinois, police officers raided Dorothy Campbell's home, they didn't find any of the marijuana they claimed her son Brandon was selling. But according to a lawsuit filed by the mother, who wasn't home during the raid, the police did find her sex toys and presented them to her son, asking what his mother did with the items. The lawsuit says the toys were left strewn about the house. A few days later, a sergeant came to the house and apologized for the raid, and his comments were allegedly videotaped by another of Campbell's sons, but two days after that, the police again raided the home, confiscating the video camera the son used to record that apology. They claimed there were pornographic images of a 14-year-old girl on the tape. A judge ruled police did nothing illegal in the first raid, but obtained the warrant for the second raid under false pretenses.
