Reason Magazine ran an excellent article http://reason.com/archives/2012/04/05/7-rules-for-recording-police/singlepage on rules for recording police officers. Basically, if you record them in public and do not physically interfere, it’s legal except in Massachusetts and Illinois.
Here are the rules.
Rule #1: Know the Law (Wherever You Are)
Rule #2 Don’t Secretly Record Police
Rule #3: Respond to Questions
Rule #4: Don’t Share Your Video with Police
Rule #5: Prepare to be Arrested
Rule #6: Master Your Technology
Rule #7: Don’t Point Your Camera Like a Gun
