They're victims because they filmed themselves doing something they know is illegal and are now being processed with the evidence they themselves collected? I'm all for these shenanigans, just seems like a silly take to me.

I understand chastising them for bad opsec. But I draw the line at saying they deserve it. A person not doing anything wrong doesn't deserve to be punished. That makes it seem like the police response is justified and it isn't.

Yes. You can't get in a police car unless a police officer puts you in one.
