Laws Regarding Recording Police
In Texas and other states, it is legal to film, photograph, or otherwise, record anything that can be seen in a public place. This is a constitutional right, and it is very important in a free society. Those who are out in public, whether they are a police officer or a member of the public, do not have a reasonable expectation that anything they do or say is private.
It is important to note that while it is legal to take recordings of police and others in a public place, police officers may ask those who are recording to step away from the scene if they feel that person is interfering with police business. In cases such as these, those recording an interaction must comply.
While police can ask members of the public to step back if they are interfering with police work, members of the public can also politely remind police officers of their rights if they are only asked to stop the recording. However, the police cannot seize a person’s phone or tamper with photos and other recordings that were taken in any way. The only exception to this is when the police officer has a warrant to take the phone.
