"We urged the city to include a bright line rule that stops and arrests are public events that can be recorded," says Haile. "Stops and arrests are matters of public concern so the act of stopping or arresting someone never carries with it an expectation of privacy. Certainly it is possible that specific conversations during the course of an arrest could become private if the parties displayed a clear expectation of privacy. For example, police huddles are necessary for good police work. If police officers huddle away from other people they would be displaying an expectation of privacy. Therefore, their communications would no longer be public, and could not be recorded without their consent. But police never start out having an expectation of privacy that would prevent them from being recorded when they stop or arrest someone."

"On private property, people who have a reasonable expectation of privacy on the property could not be recorded during a stop or arrest without their consent," Haile continues. " But the police still don't have any reasonable expectation of privacy on someone else's property, so they can be recorded by someone who is there with permission."
