Jeez just let them record. They only do that stuff to get a reaction out of cops. Ignore them and they go away or get bored. Plus, they can record so, yeah.
Cops aren’t paid to think. They are privateers and must raise revenue.
Pretty sure privateers at least got a cut of their successes rather than just a salary.
There are departments whose budget directly reflects their civil asset forfeiture intakes. So the department does get a cut of the proceeds.
