This is an issue in Germany, as well. People are prosecuted for recording police interactions regularly; sometimes they get away with it, sometimes they don't.

This is an issue in Germany, as well. People are prosecuted for recording police interactions regularly; sometimes they get away with it, sometimes they don't. As far as I know, there are no laws specific to recording the police, it's based on laws that apply to recording private conversations and taking/publishing pictures without consent.

- BrandoElFollito 5y agoIn France you can record and broadcast police when doing their job. There was an attempt in 2020 to limit this but it was rejected.

- insickness 5y agoIn the U.S., the law is delineated where there is "an expectation of privacy." In other words, you can record anyone anywhere in public, but you can't record in a bathroom or dressing room. Police officers should not have an "expectation of privacy." Interestingly enough, you can record through the windows of someone in their house, the courts have determined.
