These laws are likely invalid. Communications networks already operate on a "record and transmit" basis. As you pointed out, the real question posed by these laws is "when must a recording be destroyed"? At the level of your personal rights, however, you have an absolute right to observe, record, copy, and display anything you are able. Personally, I feel the correct response to anyone who tells you that you cannot archive what you see and hear is laughter, followed by an explanation of their rights.
