The thing I am most leery of is my car/vehicle being searched.You have no way of knowing an honest cop from a crooked one that "finds" something illegal.Luckily I fairly rarely ever get pulled over and thus far I have never been asked.Thing is a rotten one can just make up a reason to both pull you over and search you.
Only issue with a voice recorder is it would not be admissible if any party being recorded was unaware so far as I understand things.So you'd have to say "This is being recorded for posterity".
All I know is I have a few friends that are in law enforcement and they all say that they would refuse a vehicle search.The whole consent thing is the law(cops) trying use the law against you.
