Photographing and filming police officers in Canada
The Ottawa Citizen has a very good editorial on the practice of police intimidation of citizens who use their cellphone cameras and other devices to record the police.
Here's a summary of what Canadians should know about this:
There is no law in Canada that prevents a member of the public from taking photographs or video in a public place (other than some limitations related to sensitive defense installations);
There is no law in Canada that prevents a member of the public from taking photographs or video of a police officer executing his or her duties in public or in a location lawfully controlled by the photographer (in fact, police officers have no privacy rights in public when executing their duties);
Preventing a person from taking photos or video is a prima facie infringement of a person's Charter rights;
You cannot interfere with a police officer's lawful execution of his or her duties, but taking photos or videos does not, in and of itself, constitute interference;
A police officer cannot take your phone or camera simply for recording him or her, as long as you were not obstructing;
These privileges are not reserved to media -- everyone has these rights;
A police officer cannot make you unlock your phone to show him or her your images; and
A police officer cannot make you delete any photos.

Hi all
As a Police Officer, I have no issue with a citizen filming or recording me in the performance of my duties. Police officers should not fear this because in most cases if acting accordingly and doing what you have authority to do it actually supports your version of events. It is the best evidence.
The only comment I would make is to the citizens who engage in recording Police in action. Please be advised that by doing so you will likely become a compellable witness in a criminal prosecution or a disciplinary hearing against an officer who was engaged in misconduct. You may have to attend court on multiple occasions and miss work probably without pay. Your phone or device may become subpoenaed or the subject of a court order or a search warrant and therefore lost to you for several months or years.
I commend article for highlighting this issue.
