I'm not a lawyer so take this with a grain of salt, especially with the current scotus, but I wouldn't be super surprised if courts found it legal to record government officials in general. Other forms of communication (like email) for government employees are already subject to FOI requests, and the barrier for them to block FOI requests when it's about an interaction you were a part of is much much higher in general than for asking about interactions with other people.
