Pretty certain I recall that warrants must be presented at the time of any search, and that you may call your lawyer to examine it to verify its validity, and to observe the search.
So clearly the FBI was skirting the Constitution.
Demanding the security cameras be turned off is just another step too far.
As a former FFL I know perfectly well how Gov. Org. twist the laws to side-step and gain access to documents and records they are SPECIFICALLY prohibited from making copies of.
Typically along the lines of, “Let us make copies and we will be done here today, insist on your rights and we will be here for two weeks”.
Of course you are shut down until they leave.

You are so right. As a practicing tax lawyer I had a client under audit by the IRS. When they agent showed up, I presented the 14 inch thick tax return as he requested. (I’ve never had it satisfactorily explained why we have to provide a copy that resides on their Cray supercomputer). Anyway, when the agent saw the thickness of the return, he asked If it was his copy. I told him no, that he could read and take notes for as long as it took. He told me to make him a copy. I asked where in that little book of statutes a copy is required since it had been filed timely. He said that I could make a copy and charge it to my client. I told him that I wouldn’t do that as it would be committing fraud on my client. He sugested I take it to Kinkos (when they still existed) to get a cheap copy. I asked for his credit card to do so. He refused and said I could put it on my client’s bill. I suggested that he read and take notes. I let him know that just because he had a “commission” does not mean that I must expend any sum or effort to assist him.
