Current legal status
Do not assume Kentucky has the same binding recording precedent as every federal circuit.
Several federal appellate courts recognize a First Amendment right to record police performing public duties. Sixth Circuit cases have treated the question more cautiously, particularly when deciding whether the right was clearly established for qualified-immunity purposes.
This does not mean recording police is automatically illegal.A qualified-immunity problem is not the same thing as a criminal prohibition on recording.
Interference still matters.Recording does not create a right to physically interfere with police duties or ignore otherwise lawful restrictions.
Location matters.A public street is not legally identical to a courthouse, jail, restricted facility, or private property.

This is general legal education, not advice to disobey an order during a police encounter.
