Can You Record Your Own Traffic Stop in Ohio?

Answer:

Yes, you can record your traffic stop in Ohio, provided the recording does not interfere with the officer carrying out the stop. Conduct that obstructs the officer or fails to comply with lawful directions can create additional problems.

You may record your own traffic stop in Ohio. The key limitation discussed in this video is that recording must not interfere with the officer’s work during the stop.

Affirmatively preventing an officer from doing their job can raise issues involving obstruction of official business or failure to comply. Recording the encounter should therefore be distinguished from conduct that gets in the way of the stop.

If questions arise about the encounter or a resulting charge, Sabol Mallory can review the case and explain the available options.

Dan Sabol is probably the best attorney I've ever worked with. Very professional and worked hard to get the best results possible. He will be the first person I call if I need a lawyer again. If you find yourself in a sticky situation make sure you give him a ring.
