Citizens should always be able to video/audio record public officials in public places.
Illinois has attempted to make it illegal to do so. It is being challenged in the courts.

If you’re filming cops:
Leave the area, before they get to you.
SEND the photos to others not in the area.
If questioned, you’re not obligated to “know” how to delete pics.

Police just want to go home safe to their families when their shift is over.

"Defendant officers told plaintiff Perez that if he did not give them the password to his phone, he would be charged with a felony offense" He fell for their bluff. A good lawyer with knowledge of the other deletions, would have that cop's ass for lunch.

How the heck do the cops rationalize this type of action?
Short of real national security, how could it be illegal to video or photograph anything in public, especially involving persons who work for us?
This photo/video thing along with cops eagerly shooting homeowners dogs and “Black Ops” military style ineptness are the more conspicuous reasons citizens really no longer place much trust LEO.

We as a nation need to address the issue of state agents getting sued. The bad actors do not get punished, just the taxpayers.
