If it meant an increased likelihood of catching the cops in a lie, I'd host such a device on my roof. I'd just want an easy way to audit the outbound data so I could become confident that it was only recording cases of: "Holy crap that was an EXPLOSION" and not recording cases of: "Did you hear what that guy said in his back yard?" It's not like anybody creating explosions has a reasonable right to privacy. Everybody heard it, it might as well be public record. This would just add timestamps.
