There have been a number of recent cases involving police taking action against people filming or photographing their activities, and the courts are making it clearer that they have no right to do so. If you were arrested for disorderly conduct based solely on the fact that you recorded the police during a DUI investigation, I suggest you contact your local ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) office or find an attorney through the National Lawyers Guild. Even if you are willing to let the incident slide, you may be doing a service to your fellow citizens by taking action to defend the civil rights of others who might be similarly victimized. Good luck.
