This is in case you're recording an officer and you want zero ambiguity when writing a complaint form. It's not just about getting lawyers, often cops act differently when being recorded from different angles or livestreamed for other people to save. You must be European, it's not always as simple as "Here's your ticket, goodbye.".

Nope. I am from Texas and have had MANY encounters with law enforcement. If there’s not a problem on paper in 99% of cases there isn’t any problem. In the remaining cases there could be a civil rights issue, but again that’s up to the attorneys to argue.

  Right, and I need the whole scene and the officer's personal information filmed in either course of action. It allows for better camera angles and I don't have to beg the PD for dashcams or bodycams. >If there’s not a problem on paper I need the officer's info to put something on that form in the first place. Plus, it takes 5 seconds for a cop to introduce himself.

    The need for filming everything sounds like an immature cry for attention, like teenage social media nonsense. Every time I have received a ticket from a police officer they have already written all their personal administrative data. Every single time. Maybe other states don't require that, but I every out of state ticket I have received was exactly the same process.

    No, it sounds like a good way to verify the officer knows what he's doing and isn't putting anyone in danger. After all, who can trust a random stranger with a gun who needs to pass very lax qualifications? I'm really happy all your encounters have been flawless. So have mine. However recording is free, neither side has anything to lose, and has all the benefits in case of a lawsuit or formal complaint.
