The purpose of this is to cover private conversations, but again, the individual officer is not a private citizen at that point.

Does Maryland have dashboard cams installed in their cruisers? If so, then I suppose that the citizens of Maryland have already given their consent to being taped by law enforcement, yes? And if that's the case, then I don't see how law enforcement can claim a violation of wiretapping laws if the public reciprocates by taping law enforcement.
