I got pulled over earlier for speeding. Clocked me at 4 over. Fine. Before he got to the vehicle I turned my phone on record and sat it on the center console.

Officer saw it recording when I got my license and asked me to step out. Patted me down and said I'm not allowed to record him for officer safety reasons and was very curious as to why I even wanted to record.

Since I was alone and the officer was polite I dropped it there and he let me go with a warning. But man they really do not like to be recorded.

kudos to you for:

A) protecting yourself by recording the interaction.
B) not being a dick when he was being polite and asked you to turn it off.
C) Not being a "its my right as an american, so frick you" kind of guy towards the cop.

The United States Supreme Court disagrees.

4 over and a warning? sounds like a random dog search

Oh I know. I didn't want to argue USSC decisions on a shoulder of I-10.

I would love to hear his reasoning on that. Dirty arse pig.

What was the speed limit that you were blazing through at four mph over?

Why would he not want to be filmed? I don't see how there could be any safety issues.

Haha. He was recording, so there was no need for you to be?

im talking about the people who drive through checkpoints 10 times in one night looking for the cop who asks them to step out of their car so they can refuse and post the video to youtube.
