You most certainly can record and audio record Police in public. This First Amendment right was affirmed by the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals and reaffirmed by the US Supreme Court through inaction. Note that this applies to public areas. Recording a secret conversation between two officers in a private home is still unlawful. You should also inform Police that you're video and/or audio recording them. Never interfere with the performance of their duties even if the performance is unlawful or excessive.

Also, if you record a felony crime, Police can seize your camera to use as evidence. Note that this only applies to felonies. If an officer asks you to stop recording you're within your rights to refuse. Any arrest made by an officer because of recording is unlawful and opens the officer and jurisdiction to civil liability under USC 1984 - Color of Law.

Can a GV -HD700 record analog audio without a video signal?

It is possible to record audio into the Sony GV-HD700 with no video signal attached. You have to use the analog audio inputs. Since you are essentially recording a blank video signal along with the audio to DV tape, it is not a pratical way to record, and modern solid-state recorders are capable of much better audio quality than the HD700, which is limited to 16-bit, 48 kHz.
