A friend of mine is a Sheriff's deputy in my county. He was in IT for 15 years before becoming a cop. His attitude is that he is there to help the public and 90%+ of people are law abiding. He tells me that the "hot heads" are rare on the county force but common on the local municipal forces.

If presented with someone filming him, he'd probably invite them for a ride-along, or just be his normal, friendly, helpful self. He's fully aware that most of the public's interface with police (speeding tickets and such) is negative and he wants police to be community partners, not dicks with badges.
