How to Record the Cops--apps for your phone

Here's some fun phone apps you can get to have live streaming digital recording, going out to cloud storage or straight to youtube. Cops will start to behave if they know everyone is recording them all the time....

And here is an even better one: Hands free video recording and streaming. This is the ticket, the cops won't even know you are recording them...it actually is great for all recording, but especially this:

Mods please move to appropriate forum, sorry.

Nice ad, I'm sure you never meant to post such a blatant product plug on a widely used public forum. Really though, not a bad idea

I have nothing to do with the outfit, I just want to buy them myself. Those Eyez are the coolest thing. You could be videoing cops streaming live to the internet....cops or anything else, without anyone knowing it....it's awesome!

Use Dropbox. Get more space by going to the dropbox/free url. For iOS use this app: Dropvox. All you have to do is open the dropvox app, it'll automatically record and you can set up the settings to continue recording even when the phone is locked and it uploads it straight to your dropbox account/folder which can be accessed/viewed online. Can be made public, you can send the "In Case of Emergency Recordings Folder" available to a friend by having the actual dropbox app in you're iOS device and emailing them the link from there. Could also be made public. Encrypt with: TrueCrypt or Drag n Crypt, also (for protection when sending the audio file) and (for the paranoid).

From Yahoo Answers:

As long as the police officer is in public, there is no state where recording a police officer is illegal. If it is a private conversation, 12 states require all parties to consent to recording voice:

* California
* Connecticut
* Florida
* Illinois
* Maryland
* Massachusetts
* Michigan
* Montana
* Nevada
* New Hampshire
* Pennsylvania
* Washington

No states require consent to record video unless there is an expectation of privacy, like in a bathroom or changing room.

As long as you do not interfere in the investigation of a case then film all you want, but if you hinder them from doing their job, you deserve to be arrested or face the consequences if someone dies as a result.

Your "yahoo answers" is incorrect. It is a FELONY in the state of Texas to take a photograph without permission.

You may want to go and read that statute again.

From your source: law.onecle.com...

(b) A person commits an offense if the person:
(1) photographs or by videotape or other electronic
means visually records another:
(A) without the other person's consent; AND (Bold by me)
(B) with intent to arouse or gratify the sexual
desire of any person; or
(2) knowing the character and content of the
photograph or recording, promotes a photograph or visual recording
described by Subdivision (1).

The law you quoted is in regard to sexual offenses.
