does a cop have the right to tell me to turn my dash cams off?
i recently installed a bunch in my vehicle, because they are cheap, and a good counter defense type thing to use with the police (if you have a laptop and dongle you can upload the video to a remote server thousands of miles away)
this article http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/lat... on the yahoo homepage says they usually only help the cops
i believe this because previously i was accused of running a red light (i did not), but when i asked for the cops dash cam footage ... they just laughed at me
but anyway, a cop did tell me to turn my cameras off (even though he was taping me) ... so i turned off my decoy cameras
but do they even have the right to ask me to do this?

No, you don't have to turn it off.
But if I think that it contains evidence (say, of your traffic violation) then I can seize it as evidence.

absolutely not. It is not an obstruction of vision or a traffic infraction. Tell the cop to screw off next time.

Sometimes they'll politely ask you to do something and let you assume it's an order. E.g. "Would you mind emptying your pockets please". Did they actually order you to turn the cameras off? Did you specifically ask them if you had to turn the cameras off, and what they would do if you refused?

I dont think so. But I know a lot of cops don't like being filmed.
