Well they have a point though. The authorities thought that CZ was being run by drug dealers and gangsters (nothing could be farther from the truth), and they thought the original raid would prove that. That’s why they confiscated computers and cash from the business, hoping to prove this and shut them down.
When it turned out that this wasn't the case, they decided to still try and shut them down. They turned to other licensing agencies to do surprise inspections (I think that’s harassment, unless these agencies can prove they do this to other businesses all at once as well). The police harassed people when they were leaving CZ and walking to their car, stopping them and searching them with no probable cause (harassment and highly illegal).
The fact that all these tactics failed is a big embarrassment to the authorities. It proved that, although there were people going to CZ with drugs, the actual club was running a completely legit business.
Not only that, the club STILL took steps to beef up security and ban certain bad characters. They also made a public offer to work with the authorities to address any concerns.
They have a case I think from a legal stand point. If you don't CZ then that's fine, but you still have expect the authorites to follow the letter of the law...
