It's all a investigation and information gathering, so as to determine your attitude and weather they want to ticket or arrest you. Beware. They are working.
Why are so many people saying the cop is corrupt and only acted nice because of the camera? There’s so many documented cases where that’s not what’s happening, it’s more like this cop just wanting to ask more in depth questions but not get in trouble with his higher ups, or just not wanting his face shown in a video.

Hey, i think its great that you had what can be considered a productive interaction with the police. They a only human too so when new stuff comes out, they have to learn about it too. Thanks for sharing.
They had to double check if you were recording because that would determine if they would remain friendly or not. They didn’t want to be caught doing something they shouldn’t have. Because if you weren’t recording by his reaction you definitely would have had a much worse experience. All that fake conversation and smiles and story telling is to get you to open up and think they aren’t investigating you for a real crime or made up crime. To get you to incriminate yourself. Never talk to cops , don’t trust the friendly behavoir. It’s a tactic they are taught.
Sometimes it's fun to talk to the police. Theyre people and they appreciate you acknowledging that. Doubt they get much opportunity to let their guard down in public.
the fact that the police or law or gov thinks they should have authority over anyone other than their personal selves is a problem...they need to mind their own and worry about themselves and no one else.

Most true mountain bikers will break your legs for taking electric or fuel scramblers on the trails. They f**k everything and create huge ruts and piss off landowners and trail builders.
It is good to see that these officers are at least educating themselves on these bikes, regardless of motive. Personally I think they are just curious about them, since they are a relatively new thing.
They were gonna arrest dude for riding, and seize the bike for one of their kids more than likely. No reason to ask 4 times in less than 10 seconds if he’s recording after he confined the first time they asked
