I have heard rumors that there is a law on the books in Maryland prohibiting filming of police officers during traffic stops and other routine interactions. Can anyone confirm that by forwarding a COMAR cite? Assuming this is true, how would this play out if/when MD law enforcement is issued body cameras? Seems like both parties SHOULD have a right to record interactions for their own protection.
Please confirm or refudiate

There was a statute prohibiting audio recording without permission, but that was determined not to apply to video and audio recording so long as the individual doing the recording is not breaking other laws, such as trespassing. IANAL tho.
There is no such law, this stems from the misunderstanding of the two person recording law for recording conversations. There was a guy arrested for reckless driving on a motorcycle on RT 50, when he was pulled over, he recorded it and was charged with something stupid with regards to the recording. The judge threw the charge out stating that LEO in public and on duty have no expectation of privacy and can be recorded.
Refute + repudiate = refudiate.

Point of info:
COMAR is the Code of Maryland Regulations, which are the compiled regulations adopted, enforced, and repealed by administrative agencies pursuant to statutes that authorize the agencies to do so. http://lib.guides.umd.edu/c.php?g=326466&p=2197150
The statutes themselves are enacted by the MD General Assembly, signed by the Governor (or overridden over his veto), and codified in the Maryland Code (MD Code or MD Code Annotated).

Unless that's his strategery..
I have learned that when I put my cell phone in my shirt pocket the lens is in a perfect position to discretely record.
Wonder what would have happened to that fellow dragged off the United flight if cell phone video was not available to refutify the initial LE assertion that the passenger was belligerent.

oooh snap. I didn't realize I was propagating a linguistic discombobulation of wordplay by Ms. Palin. My bad.
I just want to be left alone. I'm planning nothing but my own self preservation. I was raised to believe that one should always comply with LEO instructions. Never imagined that I might be placed in a position of needing the ability to parse whether an "instruction" by said LEO is legal.
Was also raised to believe that Beaver was the result of a good dinner and a pipe shared between Ward and June.
Aaah, the good old days

One of the dirtiest quotes from a 50s sitcom: June "Ward you were a little hard on the Beaver last night."

Ward: Fine. YOU ride the little prick next time.
You realize, the reason why June always wore a huge string of pearls was because Ward got pissed at her one day and took after her with a straight razor.
