I doubt it. More likely they just don’t want their private conversations recorded on the official record.
We used to pull the flight deck voice recorder circuit breaker when performing maintenance on air force planes for the same reason.

Having worked as an investigator for a large suburban city, I assure you it is to cover up what they do wrong. Cops lie, they lie to protect others, they lie to support an arrest. It is truly an “us against them” mentality, especially as they are often rated on how many arrests are made, how many tickets are written, how much contraband (ie cars, money) is seized in the ‘War on Drugs’.
I believe they only activate when the red-lights are turned on.
I was an LEO for 25 years and I wish I had recording of all the crazy stuff that went on daily. People don't believe me when I explain the complete insanity that was on the southwest border during the 80s and 90s.
