Citizens can generally record police officers performing duties in public spaces. Recording is legal if it does not obstruct police work or break other laws. Police cannot arbitrarily seize phones or force deletion of lawfully recorded videos. Uploading videos may lead to consequences if they are defamatory or invade privacy. Courts emphasize transparency while balancing individual rights and effective policing. Citizens can generally record police officers performing duties in public spaces.
