    It recently became law in the U.S.A. for it to be ILLEGAL for the person
    being stopped by the police to record the incident, whereas more and more
    police cars now have video cameras to record the person being stopped,
    which is only available to the police, not the defendant most likely....

There was a court case -in Massachusetts- which decided this.

I'm unaware of any US-wide precedent.

Can you cite caselaw to support this, please?  The MA situation
is awful enough, but I don't think it applies nationwide, yet.
