It's difficult to record the police if you're handcuffed and sitting on the hood of their cruiser, which they have the right to do for just about any reason. Whether this actually happens or not seems to depend mostly on the officer -- some are really cool about it, some are really not.

- tptacek 14y agoThey can cuff you any time they feel it's warranted by concerns over their physical safety, the safety of others, or the need to judge the situation (ie, they may be detaining you now with the expectation of formally arresting you 3 minutes from now).
