This doesn't hold water, IMHO. "Cell phone" (or any recording/video equipment) does not equal RAS.

In fact, I would recommend a recording device be turned on prior to the encounter. LEO's, in their official capacity, have no expectation of privacy, BTW.

Now on the other hand if the poster is implying that a device in the hand may be (mis)construed as a weapon, then I would agree.

Other than that, very much dead on in most cases and the safe route in all cases. Thanks a bunch to the OP.
