Tape recording by officers is a matter of policy.
This is taken directly from the BPD Policy manual as referenced by the Boise City Ambusdsmans office in an incident in which the officer was found to have not tape recorded the contact. note that this is all public information obtainable from the Boise City Ambudsmans website by clicking this link.

hey saint... u must always do 2 things when subjected to a stop like this.
1-- get his business card and while recording, get him to acknowledge his name after you read his name and badge number outloud. also he doent need to know that u are recording.i would also say the date and time outload to get that recorded.
2-- get a incident number

Thank Hired...

This incident happened approximately a year ago and since then I have gotten a lot better at LEO encounters. I also have my CCW now which is helpful in that it eliminates any potential problems with other weapons or as to where my gun is in the car. Now I just need to go out and actually buy a personal recorder and i'll be all set :D
