If all you have is the camera on your phone, that's OK. But digital cameras have become a whole lot more powerful and versatile in the last few years, and a whole lot cheaper. I have a Canon with 64X zoom, and video capability, for about $100. And it fits in my shirt pocket. At that price, there's no reason why all of us don't have one.
As a tool for gathering intel, it's priceless. Let's get photos of our enemies, of their cars, of their license plates, of what they're doing, where they're doing it, where they're staying, everything.
If it's appropriate to do so, put it on the internet. If not, put it on a disk and save it. It may come in handy later on.
Government agencies like to operate in the shadows. Let's take away the shadows.
Once it's offsite, there's no crushing the device with the jackboot to destroy the evidence. Now the usual operation of just getting that one cop "who will do anything since he got caught with the kiddy porn" to pull the patriot over on a backroad and execute him will involve a higher technical threat footprint. More specialists needed (who might not necessarily be a dirty cop who will do anything to stay out of prison) more equipment needing to be signed out, etc. Combine that with it being known that you are well trained and armed, and your threat footprint becomes enormous.
And from the perspective of evil who flee where none pursue, they will think they need the National Guard to do anything to you.
