If one is going to install cameras in their car for the purpose of recording traffic stops, install two! One that's clearly visible and another that's hidden aimed at the first. And of course both cameras should be auto-uploading to the net for extra security.

None of that will stop an officer from arresting someone / seizing the cameras, but will make taking legal action much easier - in particular, suing the department.

To digress a bit, many people don't realize the police officers personally often have legal immunity, including civil lawsuits for actions that occur in the course of doing their job (that can even include off-duty in some instances) - so trying to get an officer arrested / fired will likely be an exercise in futility. Something to keep in mind when determining how far to push the envelope - expect monetary damages from the department at best.
