Chp Took My Security Cameras Without Cause

I'm in California. Yesterday, while I was out of town, the California Hwy Patrol were dispatched to reports of domestic violence occurring in a vehicle. That dispatch led them to my home (it was my son's car which is still registered to my address)

They came in my house guns drawn (there were more than 7 officers) and detained my son and his girlfriend. They called me after they had detained my son in the driveway for over an hour. I had been watching everything unfold on my multiple security cameras.

The officer asked if I would give them permission to access my cameras. I asked him why they were there and what was going on and he told me they couldn't tell me anything. I explicitly told him unless there was an active investigation and they came back with a warrant my cameras were off limits.

Ultimately, no charges were brought and it was determined that no DV had occurred. Both my son and his girlfriend were released to their separate residences.

Before the officers left, one of them physically removed and took two of my security cameras.

Isn't this direct violation of the 4th amendment? What legal recourse do I have? Obviously I need an attorney. Looking for advice. Thanks!

TLDR; Law enforcement took my private security cameras without cause and without a warrant.
