I would suspect that in a non-fatal, non-catastrophic incident or accident the officer(s) on the scene would want to view the video and might request a copy. If something really bad happened, my hunch is that if law enforcement becomes aware that one or more devices may have recorded something relevant, they would then confiscate the device on the spot...but I'm not a lawyer. Or a cop.
Yup, better watch out...
