Does anybody know the laws governing recording, specifically audio, when it comes to recording an interaction with Law Enforcement? I believe that different states have different laws, but can't really find anything for Georgia. I am going to start carrying a digital recorder with me because as we all know when you open carry, you are bound to get detained. So, I would like to know the laws for when I inform the LEO that they are being audio recorded and they tell me to turn it off or take it from me altogether. I have graduated from a law enforcement academy (never got hired after graduating) and have many LEO friends from that academy, but I don't remember discussing that and when I ask my friends they don't know. Thanks..
