I had MY day in 'court' today for the same thing. got the dismissal paperwork, and my attny is filing the motion for expungement and getting the ball rolling for the return of my voice recorder today as well.
The whole thing was a colossal waste of time too. I was there a grand total of about five minutes. Ah well...whats done is done.
I'm just waiting for my audio recorder back at this point. I fully intend to have both devices going should I ever have another encounter. That way if they tell me to "stop recording me" when I hold up the video record to notify them, I can 'comply', turn off the video, and still have the back-up of my audio recorder to protect my arse. (hey... the law says I have to notify, not get consent. Just because I turn off the video recorder doesn't mean
ALL recording devices are off. Kinda like that cop in the 'don't talk to the police' lecture does during interrogation.
