The reporter has the First Amendment down cold, but he made a dummy of himself by not setting his smartass phone to stream to the “cloud” (you can pick one of several “clouds”, depending on your IOS and application).
My Samsung Galaxy S-2 came with Qik on it, and with that, I can stream as I shoot, so that the vids don’t take up any space on the camera/phone itself. I have a 32 gb card in mine, so I’m keeping all my vids on board, but I could stream them if I wanted to. Changing the preferences to do so takes about 10 seconds.
BTW, we were taught all these lessons during Arab Spring, where the inventive kiddies who booted all those ancient dictators learned how to do it so as to evade the secret police in their turbulent nations.

I think he was served. (not that there’s not something wrong with that)

That’s why my phone auto uploads to my google+ account. The button on top also does an instant lock. If they force or coerce my phone, they’re only getting it in it’s locked state, while it’s locked it will finish up loading any and all data that I collected.
Rivrdog, you can have it do both since it’s a droid. I can let them think they deleted something off my phone and then the footage is still on youtube immediately after getting the phone back with a note they attempted to delete it.
Law dog made the point that you have collected evidence in many instances. Often the officer doesn’t want to deal with trying to collect all the evidence. However if that is in fact the case deleting it amounts to destruction of evidence. So I fall back on the belief that the type of people who do this crap are the types of people who have no business being in a uniform.

Rivrdog: Even if they do get a hold of it, a memory card reader and a simple undelete utility will recover the data, unless they are clueful enough to use a proper wipe utility, or swap an new card into the camera.
