Law Enforcement & Police - April 2007

I always see videos on the net where the police are telling bystanders to turn off their video cameras during a traffic stop or whatever. Sometimes the officer gets angry and threaten the camera person and appear that they are going to take physical action to prevent themselves from being taped.
If the officer acts appropriately then what would they have to be afraid of? Most cruisers are equipped with a dashboard camera and audio anyways.
The reason I ask, is that I was thinking of installing a few cameras and a microphone in my car and recording the video to a PC installed in the trunk. I would use it mainly at the race track.
If I was pulled over could the officer demand I turn off the video recording..assuming he notices? Maybe its playing on the TV in the dash or something. What might be the consequences if I refuse?

My wife and I allowed a 16 year old cousin of my wife to come live with us. She was not respecting me so I told my wife I wanted out of the custody filing for her but I wouldn't stop her from getting custody. I removed myself from the court papers before the costody was awarded to my wife. I never even really talked to the girl. Would I still be considered the minor’s natural or adoptive parent, stepparent, guardian, or custodian, or person?

The information on the ticket is under my mom's name, who is in a different city. All other information (address, car) is correct (=my information).

I hear they have outlawed owning a certain number or combination of chemicals that are legal to purchase, so having two or three things in combination that are used to make meth can get you arrested now, even though the chemicals are legal to buy. I am confused about these laws.

I have alot of hobbies that entail buying chemicals. I like to make homemade soap, with lye. Sometimes I melt the soap down with sodium carbonate and borax to make homemade liquid laundry detergent. I make homemade candles. I have always enjoyed chemistry and like making my own products.

So sometimes when I am out buying lye and other chemicals I get worried because I hear now they have laws so just having legal chemicals can get you arrested, because meth is made out of legal chemicals. But I'm not sure which ones.

If I continue with my home made soap making and stuff, could I be prosecuted under meth laws for owning the chemicals?

Am I legally bound to tell them where I've been? Maybe I just don't want them to know that I'm returning from a burger joint or my girlfriend's house.

I was convicted of Criminal Mischeif 7 yrs ago and it is hindering me from getting a good paying job because it is a felony. I've heard of a process that can have it taken off my record because i haven't gotten in anymore trouble since then.

Do they just keep a record at the courthouse, or do they publish it to the world? I know the record is permanent, but will they tell anybody who asks years and years later?

The term affray doesn't sound serious enough for someone that attacks another, and has a weapon they obviously have taken with them for the purpose of hurting or the least frightening them.
