5 Rules for Recording Police: Steve Silverman of FlexYourRights.org

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.)
An edited video of the full-length panel and Q&A is available at

I bet if the cops had to pay out of thier own pockets if they were taken to court. They wouldn't be so inclined to arrest people that are exercising their constitutional rights.

[@kevinheckeler]

They would also be less apt to harass people for minor (petty) infractions, knowing they're putting themselves in a position to make mistakes.

[@---cr8nw]

They SHOULD have to pay out of pocket. If I do something while I'm working that is OUTSIDE THE SCOPE AND THE RULES OF MY EMPLOYMENT, I'm personally liable for the outcome.

Shit.... even @ Mcdonalds, if you come up short on your register.... it comes out of their paycheck.

Or a souped up vehicle and allowed to drive at Totally Dangerous and Fatal rates of high speed . . to chase someone down for blowing a Stop Sign? . . . The best one is the chase scene of 10 cops chasing a guy in a stolen car.... that doesnt have a scratch on it.... Until the Police step in to retrieve the poor victims car from the Criminal... and in the process of the pursuit , 2 people were run over..and 1 died . .. and the Stolen Car??? Well . . that was returned to its rightful owner.... in 37 Milk Crates of Wrecked Parts. . . . YEA ! " We Serve and Protect." . . . The ONE PERCENT ! -----> FUCK Those CRIMINALS with Badges !

All you have now are millions of statutes created by lawyers...Officers of the Court that support Bankruptcy. You are held as surety for the Corporate / Government debt. The Constitution was to place restrictions on the Government. . That has now been removed as the Government is now a foreign owned entity and located in a District of the USA it is NOT a State and a sepatate legal entity with its own laws and its own Police..

Any police officer who does not wish to be recorded is either committing a crime or contemplating doing so. That applies to courts as well.

1st rule of recording police. There are no rules. Its a right!

It's a right and there are no formal rules, but there are some common sense rules to help protect you from people that don't think it's a right.

[@119Agent]

There are laws though you must follow. You cannot interfere with a police investigation or an arrest. Filming isn't interfering per se, but if you are asked to step back (and are actually too close), stay put, or provide ID while operating a vehicle and don't comply, they can arrest you. The fact that you are recording doesn't excuse you from that lawful order.

police misconduct? when a citizen does the same as a police.. no one calls it "citizen misconduct"... the correct terms is "police criminality"

[@pssst3]

Police misconduct is when police don't act as they ought to act, they way that they are trained to act, the way we want them to act on the job.On the job we give them permission to use more force and violence AS A COUNTERING move that we wold permit off that job. When off the job if they don't behave according to societal norms, , its just misconduct. A policeman who meets neither criteria when on the job exhibits two different level of misconduct. Part of the problem stems from expecting policemen to always be "on the job" even when "off duty". That creates a mindset and a culture alien to real civil life. That's not an excuse for acing like thug repelling invaders, just a partial explanation for how it can happen.

I would sue the department and the officer individually. Cover your bases, let the judge decide which is the valid case.

[@---cr8nw]

+crunch9876, ignorance of the law is not an excuse. If you didn't know the speed limit, you're still getting a ticket and there's really no defense unless there was no reasonable way for you to know the speed limit. Believing that what they are doing is legal is COMPLETELY irrelevant.

[@crunch9876]

- - for police it is an excuse. And federal courts have ruled that way for a while. They just need to think they where doing the right thing, or think what they where doing was lawful and boom you can’t touch them in civil court. It’s how it is legally.

[@csymindspring]

If you are using a lawyer that is suing for a percentage of the award (as opposed to charging you for the hour), he is probably not going to be interested in suing the policeman personally. Why? Because these guys make about enough money to pay their bills, and that's about it. Suing someone that essentially has no money makes no sense.

+dcs002 when someone tries to become a cop, one of the tests they have to take is a iq test. if they score too high on the test then they do not get the job. they say this is because people with a high iq would get bored with the job too easily and so by eliminating high iq applicants the turnover rate for employment is lessened which saves the department money.. long story short, you are absolutely right.. keep it simple lol.

[@counterpoint6718]

Thank you. Herein lies the true value of the internet, informing the citizens on the law and other such important matters that may have wonderful or grave consequences to all. Just knowing what you may or may not be required to do in the presence of police , when anything you may do has the chance of undermining your freedoms, can be of immense value, especially in such times as now, when the police stretch the rules when interrogating. And nothing short of having a personal attorney on scene is more vital than having and using a camera to record ALL contact. When you are able to add streaming video to your arsenal, you begin to level the field with those officers that would break the law, and in fact, you may come to overwhelm them. Use your freedoms or lose them, but be prepared to fight for them at all costs and be the true patriot, as those of Concord and Lexington, and Valley Forge and Yorktown, and all the points that defined our nation's birthplace, who committed more than just words to secure our freedoms for generations to come. It would be far more than a travesty to let their sacrifices go to waste simply because we had become too complacent, too wrapped up in our material world to continue the struggle they commenced to secure and maintain our right to be free. Freedom, that which is not physical in nature, with no taste or smell, silent and unseen, and given little thought until it is missing, or taken from us, like love, is worthy of all efforts to cultivate and nourish, to protect and to fight for, least it be gone.

[@Fajowski50]

This video should be shown to every officer around the country, and it should especially be shown in every training program for every new officer. I know it's frustrating now, but smart phones are still a relatively new thing, and a lot of older police officers haven't acclimated to the fact that almost anyone has a camera in their pocket ready to film at any time. Give it about 5-10 years and the majority of police should be educated about the laws pertaining to recording in public.

Exactly. In California it's 72 hours (3 days) to see a judge until then you stay with general population unless, as you mentioned, you have the poor luck of going in Thursday (or was it Friday) so you stay an extra day inside at your expense (no court on Sunday). That's not to mention most likely staying in the holding tanks for 24 hours or more quite literally like sardines before getting processed upstairs. Then even after getting your jail attire and going to gen population you still might sleep in the middle of the day room because of the incredible and constant overpopulation problem. One time they had also ran out of blankets so my group had to sleep in the middle of the day room and use the towels we had for bathing (4ft x 3ft) as blankets. Not fun when you're freezing your ass off on the hard concrete floor.

@@dsandoval9396 this won't always work but an acquaintance of mine has at least once in the past lied during processing about his state of health; they'll ask you questions to avoid having a room full of people become sick because they weren't quarantined or isolated. So he says he has tuberculosis or something and according to him, his stay is long but he's alone and peaceful. And this guy is no stranger to jail so I take his word for it.

[@dsandoval9396]

@@cesarcueto1995 yeeaaaahh. That's right. I've only been to jail like 6 times, 2 were actual crimes (non-violent), the rest were bench warrants cause I was living on the street at the time and didn't find out about court dates in time. But yeah, I remember learning about that my last time going to jail. This one guy had cancer and I never saw him go upstairs with general population, either got kicked out (O.R.) or got his own room in medical. Then the last time I went I was sick as a dog seeing as I was already dope sick BEFORE getting arrested, so when they finally processed me my blood pressure was like 220 over 180 not to mention you could just look at me and think something was wrong. So they kept me in medical and boy was that sweet! Not freezing cold, your own room, no asshole CO's, day room ALL day... It was nice. But that was the last time I went and I don't plan on going back just for the hospitality in the med ward. Thanks for reminding me though... just in case.

[@chickenfriedbobcat6090]

akilla214u2c That means you were arrested. If you were arrested without probable cause or detained without reasonable, articulate, suspicion then your rights were violated and you have basis for a strong civil rights case. Checkout first amendment audits. They'll show you the way.

[@Nasonix2]

And that's if you're not on probation, if you're on probation you'll probably violate either way. And go to jail. Correct?

Anybody have any Bambuzer replacements now that it is gone? (Particularly one where if you put it on sleep it will still continue to record.)

[@LetArtsLive]

I was recording at home so they shine a light in my camera but the sound is there.

[@TheCriminalViolin]

+LetArtsLive Yeah, I see police do that a lot, especially with drones. That's the ones that know it's okay to record them and thus use a "loophole" if you will to attempt to keep people from recording.

Any public servant can be openly filmed. Police, Fireman, EMTs, FBI, CIA, Court Officers. Anyone who's salary comes from your taxes, you may openly record/film them.

[@Willam_J]

I have a question. I have a dashcam in my car pointed forward to record my driving and to act as evidence in the event of an accident. I have not had the chance to do it, but if I ever get pulled over, I plan to turn the camera towards my driver's side window to record my interaction with the officer. The officer pulling me over will most likely not have any idea that they are being recorded . Does this count as 'open recording' or do I need to inform the officer that he is being recorded? I know the question may sound silly, but it's little things like that, that can make a big difference in a lot of situations.

[@ChristopherBajor]

I'm in Illinois. So I can record police in public as long as I don't try to keep it a secret?

+Joshtian He was saying that should be a rule for anyone who films the police. Not just in Illinois. For Illinois it was to tell the police that you are familiar with the law and that the supreme court ruled it unconstitutional and made it void.

[@bobcratchet1327]

As I understand it , the police arnt regiired to respomd to your 911 call. Also are not required to protect you. So what does the dishwasher do ??

[@the1tigglet]

There are software apps that you can easily download and use to not only protect your recording, but also to keep your data from being deleted by the police. Streaming is great but not all phones support that kind of instantly continuously records your information. The offsite server/cloud is a secure recording system is absolutely necessary to keep cops in line because your data is precious and shouldn't be in the hands of police. There are apps per state that allows you to upload and send data to your lawyers office.

[@davidscott4295]

If the police impedes your movement in any way, to investigate you with questions, and commands, you are technically already under arrest, but they don't want you to know that. You should make the agent for the bench aware that you know that, so he can read your maranda rights so that you do not have to answer any questions as they may be used against you in a court of law, be it kangaroo, statutory, or maritime military.
