UPDATE:Maryland Attorney General has released an opinion that the wiretapping law does not apply, as police encounters are not private conversations. It was characterized: “seems an unlikely conclusion … particularly when they occur in a public place and involve the exercise of police powers.”

Spot on by the Maryland AG. Many officer's vehicles have dash mounted cameras and the cop wears a mic on his uniform. This is no different. If you'll notice, there was a
marked vehicle and a
uniformed trooper that was right behind our motorcyclist. So why did our gung-ho unmarked, out of uniform officer take it to that extreme? Also why the gun? There was absolutely no reason for the "trooper" to draw his weapon. I think he needs to go back to school and re-learn about the rules of deadly force.
Edit: About our motorcyclist, he was reckless in his motorcycle riding. Wheelies and doing 127mph gets people killed. Hell just riding a motorcycle can get you killed.
