Yes, you have every right to record a police officer as long as you do not hurrass the officer, but you MUST tell the officer you are recording them as soon as they stop you. Simply say, "I am recording this stop / conversation for my own personal protection". They may ask you to stop recording, but legally you do not have to quit, you just can not show the officer's face in the video.

∙ 12y agoMaybe not -- You generally should ask permission if you record or make a video of any person.
Added: You could try it. Depending on the style of recording device you used if it interfered with the officers interaction with you by having a camera shoved in his/her face it could possibly have a bad outcome for you.

Can you legally tape record a police officer during a traffic stop?
Some states have laws that prohibit making a sound recording of any communication unless all of the parties have been advised the recording is being made. This applies even if the communication is taking place in a public place. There is an ongoing case in Maryland where a motorcyclist was stopped by a plainclothes Maryland state trooper after the cyclist was observed speeding through traffic at around 100 mph. The cyclist had a small camera mounted on his helmet, as he intended to make a video of this and post it on YouTube. The camera captured the sound and video of the trooper's actions. The cyclist is now facing trial for making a covert sound recording, which is a felony in Maryland. Most states do not have this law, but the safest course of action would be to advise any officer you are recording that the recording is being made. I am unaware of any law that would allow the officer to order you to stop recording him, or to take the recording device from you.
