I have to agree with Charles.  The only reason a LEO
would need a unit like this would be to record things
having to do with his work.  It maybe recording himself
at traffic stops to protect himself from someone
accusing him of wanting/taking a bribe or recording
evidence of a crime.
If it ever comes down to using a tape like that in
court I would think it would be more or less useless
once it is known that the recorder can be switched on
and off.
