They normally record you. If your asked to switch it off id be sus on the cop and ask why. Any conversation you are personally involved in you have the legal right to record. |

QUOTE (NVRMND @ Mar 5 2014, 05:19 PM)  You people above have no idea.... morons.... you can't record private conversations without permission, if the go pro is recording sound and you don't tell the cop, you commit an offence. simple. I've heard that you need permission from all parties to record a conversation too, however, recording audio/video in a public place is a different matter. Consider traffic cameras, average Joe on the street, etc, all happening in public places without needing anyone's permission. I reserve the right to be wrong, as I'm no lawyer, I'm just applying some common sense. |

Incorrect. In Queensland it is not illegal to record a physical-in person conversation that you are an involved party in without notifying other parties. However, what is subsequently done with the recording has legal implications. Source: http://www.legalaid.qld.gov.au/legalinform...es/Privacy.aspx |

Definitely not illegal in QLD, as a matter of fact a friend of mine had a cop who was bullying him by repeatedly pulling him over and searching his car and pockets. I told him that he has the wright to refuse the search and that the only questions he has to answer are his name, address and if he had been drinking this evening. I also told him to make it obvious to the cop that he will be recording the conversation as the cop will be less likely to abuse his power when he knows he is being recorded. |

The very next time my friend was pulled over by his favourite officer he did exactly what I told him and the cop went wild, swearing and trying to snatch the recording device from him. The recording was later handed to the Crime and Misconduct Commission and what do you know... we have never seen that cop again How cool is that? Horrible bullying cop swearing and trying to snatch the recording device off your mate. Must have been a battle not unlike David and Goliath on the side of the road. Awesome result.... Yawn. |

Good point! I almost forgot that I had my camera confiscated on this 'possible evidence of a crime' agenda. Eventually I got it back after several weeks... |
