One issue I see with this is that it's not an auto-archived live-stream. Requiring it to send at the end of the video recording to a single person rather than live-streaming it to some potential crowd on social media so that nothing can stop the video from going out and being seen by others is less-than-optimal.
Assuming the officer gets angry that you're recording them, they might take your phone away and attempt to keep it from uploading. Live-streaming plus auto-archive = you at least have evidence up to the point they forced you to shut it off no matter what the outcome is.

Does two-party consent apply to police, who are public servants and acting in that role at the time this would record them? IANAL (or even American) but that seems very unlikely to me.

Looks like it's pretty clearly legal except possibly in Massachusetts and Illinois. It might be legal in those states as long as you aren't doing it secretly....

That's a pretty cool idea, but it makes me wonder how this would work out in a two-party-consent state.
