  • It is completely legal to film anything that happens in a public place. In public you have no "expectation of privacy" which means, in this case, that you know you are acting in potentially full view of anyone who comes along. Since you know you are public you can't claim privacy and so what you do is fully open to recording. This fails if you are sneaky (creepy) about it. If you take an upskirt/downshirt picture of a girl ahead of you on an escalator that's a different thing. But you were fully within your rights to film the event and to refuse to delete it - and I hope you refused. If you didn't refuse consider filing a complaint. Deleted material can be recovered from drives - just make sure that there's nothing deleted that you want to stay that way. Bliss P.S. Messing with cops can be... bothersome. I'd say do it but you have to check your own gut.
