anxious to get it and see how it does.
Most dedicated CA OC'ers leave their voice recorder on the moment they strap up. Delete unused later.man i went to go get me a voice recorder, didn't realize how expensive they are. wal mart cheapest one was 30 bucks.
but this got me thinking though is what technique do you use to get it out. i mean i haven't had many experiences with the cops but the 2 times i have they made a point not to go put your hands anywhere near your pants. so my question how do you get it without the cop freaking out, especially if you got a gun right next to your pocket.
and second do you try turning it on and holding even if the cop can see it. or do you try turning it on and keeping it in your pocket without cop seeing or knowing about it?
Most cops around here wouldn't be carrying a recorder, or wouldn't be using itoftenat least. That's because they make up lies in order to take your money for their greedy municipality to waste.Most people aren't aware of it, but cops keep a voice recorder on their belts. That's what one of those vertical, long packs hold. Any time they're out of the vehicle or going to a call, they're supposed to turn it on.
Likewise, you should consider something similar for your belt or, if you wear tactical shorts as I do, in the front mag/multiuse pocket. It would be easy to stick in a small recorder (hell, my mp3 player and cell phone also record) in your pocket or on your belt.
they seem very cheap on ebay. you have to tell me if it works good or not. i a bit skeptical on it so far. but i do like the style of it. i just know i be so mad if i bought it and the quality is crappy.
