I'll be interested to see if the arresting officer is driven out over the next year.

They should have done it, and then beaten him like he's Black.

To the minor credit of the officer, they followed procedures and left the camera on.  That probably protects them from accusations of bias and preferential treatment.  Good for the officer who certainly was under pressure.

I mean, any cop tells me to turn my camera off in any situation I'm gonna be like "nah go fark yourself", whether they're the drunk being arrested or doing the arresting.

I've had 2 broken phones due to cops, 1 go pro taken as "evidence." Cops here really don't like being held accountable while running their grift.

What do they keep pulling you over for? I'm genuinely curious.

They don't. I work in Bellevue half the time and the cops there love to harass people who don't look wealthy enough to be there. I have no problem being a spot documentarian.

Reminder: cops are *not* your friend, and *always* keep your damn mouth shut except to answer their direct questions as succinctly as possible when it involves them asking for your name and date of birth, as anything you say can and *will* be used against you in a court of "law" (read: a prosecutor-called grand jury, which is *not* a real jury that determines guilt or innocence, but, instead, decides whether or not a prosecutor has enough probable cause to go to trial... based on what the prosecutor tells them without being challenged by defense counsel).

GoPro has that feature on subscription. Alternatively you can set up aggressive always on backup with Google drive video backup over wifi/cellular. It won't be streamed to the cloud until recording stops, but it's reasonably cheap @ $1.99/mo for 100gb.

There's live streaming as well, but I'm not really adept in that area.

Allegedly. Some cops seem to consider that "oath" to be a minor nuisance that can be safely ignored.

Huh, made this joke a week or two ago in another thread and somebody ripped me a new arse. Fark can be a strange place. Glad it was an anomaly. This place can get toxic, but not twitter level toxic.

I am pretty safe against being investigated by a grand jury. People like me get charged directly.

Give a shout if you find a good one.  The app from the ACLU is crap.

Don't even tell them that.  If they pulled you over for a traffic violation, they have that information on your license, though you will need to provide insurance and registration, too.

Unless you are in a stop-and-identify state, you don't have to provide your license unless they have reasonable articulate-able suspicion of a crime.

No no they take the oath very seriously

It's the law they think they can make up as they go along

It's not a great app. For example, if you lock the screen, it stops recording.
