Yeah.  How about leaving the methods of police work to the police?  I'm sure 
the officer wasn't bothered or concerned about what wires you used, or what 
switches, so conversley perhaps you should stick to what you know best, and 
let the cops do what they know is best and not worry about something that 
doesn't concern you....and who said anything about recording just inculpatory 
statements anyway?  Just assuming are you???
