No it's not admirable. Neither is it constitutional. All officers raise their right hand and pledge to uphold the Constitution of the United States. This story is going to get ugly. In a timely fashion.
It already has gotten ugly. Cops murdered a guy in his own home because he was exercising the right to self-defense.
wrong. The standard isn't nudity, if you're involved in illegal activity, doesn't matter if you have clothes on, read the law.
I have read the Fourth Amendment many times. The cops have no way of knowing whether the person they will be filming later will be engaging in criminal activity. You're wrong.
I HOPE when you need them most, they WON'T show up!
When I needed them the most they showed up and helped the man beating me because it turned out they were buddies. I would've been better off had they not showed up.
Oh well, those sheriffs can be fired and replaced with new sheriffs, deputies and other local government workers who will do what they are told.
The ONLY people the sheriff's are bound to work for as the citizens of his/her county. The state don't like it then tough. Shouldn't have passed an illegal and unconstitutional law.
I'm as much of a 2nd amendment supporter as the next guy. however, in this case, the guy wasn't law abiding and even attempted to shoot the officers when they clearly identified themselves.

It doesn't matter. Property rights are absolute and no one has the right to violate those rights. And that man had the inherent natural right to defend himself and his property against any government employee who trespassed.
It's troubling when Sheriffs self-appoint themselves to be legislators and judiciaries just because some of their constituencies agree with them.
The ethical thing for a Sheriff who doesn't agree with and won't enforce laws is to resign immediately, and then they are free to lead an effort to have certain laws that they don't like repealed and file a legal challenge against it, as any other citizen would, but do it through the rule of law and due process.
The same holds true for Sanctuary cities/counties where sheriffs are saying they will refuse to enforce laws/cooperate with other law enforcement or for someone Kim Davis, the clerk from Kentucky who refused to issue the marriage license for a same-sex couple a few years ago.
Whether or not the laws they are refusing to enforce are good public policy or not is really a secondary issue.
The main issue to me is that just because they don't like something doesn't give them the authority to do as they please in a public office that doesn't hold that power. It's a dangerous precedent.
Funny thing, I have never, ever had a need for them. Of course, I had to call them because of someone trying to break into my house, but I have dogs and my own guns and was able to chase off the perps by the time the police showed up, which was like 30 minutes later.
And oh, I remember when one of my friends from where I grew up was only 13 years old when she got pregnant by the 33 year old DARE cop of the neighborhood. Sure, he got arrested, but he was sent to prison for 25 years, but not for raping a 13 year old girl, but for selling drugs to kids in the district he sworn to protect. Now, his sentence for statutory rape, 6 months.
Heck, the police are the reasons why NYC and Chicago are so expensive. Those police and teacher pensions aren't cheap.
Then WHY do you hate them so much?
Does 1 incident apply to ALL cops?

It is the UNIONS public and PRIVATE, why they are so expensive.
If all 50 states pass red flag laws (which are supported by Trump), who do you think will be doing the confiscations?
"If" I DON'T deal in if, maybe, could, should, etc.
