5 Rules for Recording Police: Steve Silverman of FlexYourRights.org
Channel: Flex Your Rights
Date: 2014-11-04

UPDATE TO RULE #4: THE BAMBUSER APP IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. Apps change by the minute, so we no longer recommend specific police recording apps. Streaming apps are best. But the native app on your smartphone is more than good enough to do the job. Long story short, it doesn't matter what app you use to record, just do it!

RULE #1: Know the Law (You always have the right to OPENLY record police in public)

RULE #2: Know your Technology. (See updated rule above.)

RULE #3: Respond to Shit Cops Say

RULE #4: Don't Point your Camera Like a Gun

RULE #5: Prepare to Be Arrested (i.e. the Bill of Rights is not for wimps.)
