No. it isn't unlawful. something that occurs in a public position is straightforward pastime. If the arrest befell in a private homestead or in an identical deepest area, then you somewhat can't invade their privateness (consisting of photographing by a window). This also applies to video recordings besides.

No, it's not, especially in those circumstances. Even with different circumstances, I think the most they could do is seize the camera phone. I smell a lawsuit coming...
