They left out some specific cases dealing with police.

Johnson vs. Sequim: http://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F3/388/676/569794/

It's the consensus that when public officials are engaging you in their "public" duty you can record without them being aware of the recording. Especially when it is in a public place.

Another case that support this line of thinking and how our state views it.
