I can't see the point of cops wanting to get involved in a fight with someone filming if its blatantly obvious they aren't doing anything illegal. It reminds me of the episode of top gear where they race through London and some cop pulls James May over to check the film crew have the relevant permits and then completely misses the joke about escorting the crew through traffic on blues and twos and makes himself look like a tit.

That said most cops are very edgy about any arrests or what they do being filmed by outsiders as its way too easy to be edited and shown in a bad light. They don't have any powers to delete the images but they can seize the phone as evidence if need be (I've never heard of it actually coming to this but it is an option)
