    Cit­izens with handy video and au­dio re­cord­ers are doc­u­ment­ing po­lice activ­ity, and the num­ber of ar­rests and pro­sec­u­tions across the coun­try are rising right along with You­Tube hits. The fed­er­al ap­peals court rendered this de­cision in Au­gust in a civil rights case brought by a man who used a cell­phone to re­cord an ar­rest and ended up ar­res­ted him­self.
