Police voice recorders?

Question

i recently got a cititaion bye the california highway patrol ,i feel that if there was a dash camera in the patrol vehicle i would be able to beat this ticket i was told that there is no cameras in the chp cars,but i have been told that there are voice recorders on some of the police officers tool belts ,so my? is does anyone know if chp have these recorders or not?

Answer 1

of course they do. how else do they show those shows of car chases. they all have camera's inside. and why are you so worried?

Answer 2

all officers have voice recorders on their belt. however, they do not always turn them on when they pull someone over. the reason that they have these recorders is because people take the chp to court and they have no proof. chp uses that recording to prove what you said and to sort of "re-live" the moment when you received the citation.
