When I worked in a convenience store years ago I had video cameras on me at all times that were always watched by management. I had no right to privacy while on the job and why should I? My employers had every right to see what I was doing on their property with their time, money and customers. I don't really see this as being any different, sure the posting on youtube might be a gray area but I don't see anything wrong with the other citizens of Maryland being able to see how their public servants are behaving on the job.
Any citizen should have a right to film a traffic stop or any other altercation with the police to both ensure their own safety and make sure proper procedure is followed. If its not it gives them recourse to have the officer punished...why it almost seems like this wiretapping thing is a way to discourage the public from doing that.
EDIT: I hate typos
