Recording Law Enforcement During a Roadside Stop

Clients often ask whether they have the right to audio and video record a law enforcement stop.

June 16, 2023

One common question clients ask is whether they have the right to audio and video record a law enforcement officer during a roadside stop.

Recording in public is often lawful, but how you record — and whether you interfere with the stop — matters. Do not reach for a phone in a way that looks like a weapon. Stay silent on the facts and call this office after.

This is general information, not legal advice for your stop.
