Hi,
I've been surfing here for a while, but this is my first post. Happy to be here! I have my Colorado CCW permit, but to be honest haven't done any CC or OC yet, I'm still building up my confidence andmemorizing the laws regarding the issues while I wait for someholsters that I ordered.
After reading some of the threads here, I have decided that I would like to have DVR (digital voice recorder) on my person while I'm carrying a firearm and I have ordered this:

I can't recommend this DVR, as I haven't received it yet, but it seems to be a decent product, only time will tell.
Here is my question: Assuming everything is recorded... In the unfortunate circumstance that I am involved in a self defense shooting, am I better off informing the responding officers that there is a recording of the incident and letting them have the recording device as evidence, or am I better off letting my attorney present the recording at a time that he deems best for my defense?
It seems to me that presenting the recording immediately might prevent an elevatedcharge being leveled against me. But at the same time, letting my attorney present the evidence would keep the LEO's from having the ability to erase the recording.
I sincerely appreciate all comments on this.
Thanks!
