Was it in your driveway or parked on the street? If it was in the street than anyone can walk up and take photos of your car because it on public property. If it was in your drivweway they can still take photos but have to remain on the sidewlak or street. I`m sure they had probable cause. Why would 3 cops just randomly choose your car for no reason?
 
Yes. If it can be seen from public property, they can take pictures of it. Usually they do it for accident (hit and run) evidence, or to intimidate people (like at a KKK rally). Sometimes its also used to identify people by their plate numbers, like at the kkk rally.

They can not step on private property unless its "public / private property like a shopping center parkinglot.
 
No.
The area of protection would be if your Van was inside your garage. Anything in open view is open to public view, is not sacred.
 
If the vehicle is on public property , or can be seen from public property , then yes , they can !
