2010 · Film
Summer 2005: federal agents and police record over a thousand hours of surveillance footage inside a crack house in Rockford Illinois. For six weeks the gang smoke weed, play with guns and sell crack and heroin, unaware that their every move is being filmed. The customers come and go with no clue that their secret lives would be exposed. This is an intimate portrait of the rise and fall of a crack house and of an American urban community brought down by drugs. Interviews with gang members, their families and cops reveal the inescapable tragedy - and occasional dark comedy - of a world that lies hidden within every modern city.

"Crack House USA" was quite the accomplishment in my opinion. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1991025/
Intimate view through surveillance cameras over 6 weeks about the inner working of a crack house. With interviews from law enforcement, families and later convicts. Unorganized crime being the key word here, including drive by shootings by barely adults whos perceived room for maneuvering narrows to the extreme.
On youtube as " Inside A Crack House: US Drug Gangs Exposed (True Crime Documentary) | Real Stories " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EGK4gGtz44
There is precedent for a similar idea that worked well in criminal investigations. A documentary was made about it called Crack House USA https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1991025/ where law enforcement obtained property and the appropriate warrants for their investigation. A real slice of life.
