Not in (nearly all of) the US either. That, however, doesn’t stop _some_ officers from pretending that it is illegal to film them, or from coming up with other nonsense charges to scare and inconvenience those who would film them. I think you would be hard-pressed to find where simply filming an officer even in states with rigid wiretapping laws stood up in court.
