You know recording police without consent is a felony.

If you do something like this, make sure to announce to the police officer that he is being recorded.

it is 100% not a felony and completely untrue.

The law in 38 states plainly allows citizens to record police, as long as you don’t physically interfere with their work. Police might still unfairly harass you, detain you, or confiscate your camera. They might even arrest you for some catchall misdemeanor such as obstruction of justice or disorderly conduct. But you will not be charged for illegally recording police.

Twelve states—California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washington—require the consent of all parties for you to record a conversation.

However, all but 2 of these states—Massachusetts and Illinois—have an “expectation of privacy provision” to their all-party laws that courts have ruled does not apply to on-duty police (or anyone in public). In other words, it’s technically legal in those 48 states to openly record on-duty police.

Federal Courts Rule it is Not Illegal to Film Police
The First Court of Appeals has reached a decision that would allow the general public to video-tape police officers while they are working. This decision comes right after several well-known public cases have come to light involving citizens being arrested for video-taping police.

The cop block, awesome name.

I have been telling myself, if I get pulled over, remember to get out the phone and fucking record it.
 
its obviously not illegal to record police, but its very likely that theyll frame you for some other crap that might be illegal just because they dont want to be recorded.

And this, 7th Circuit Orders Injunction Against Illinois Ban on Recording Cops

"Today the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit ordered a preliminary injunction barring Cook County from enforcing the Illinois Eavesdopping Act against "people who openly record police officers performing their official duties in public." The law, the strictest of its kind in the country, makes such recording a Class 1 felony, punishable by four to 15 years in prison."
 
For what he probably spent on that crappy car (armoring is super expensive, and I doubt the electronics were cheap either) he could have just bought a nice car lol
