Indeed, and I say it knowing a few officers myself. Like any profession, they are generally good but there's always a few bad apples. In my more vigorous youth, I probably met most of them, of both types. But that was a while back, and I'm flying a little straighter these days.
My point was to make sure that everybody knows that the commoners generally DO have the right to record encounters with the police just as the police have that same right. I'm not extremely trusting of government these days.
