so I've given that one some thought and came away with this: if ice / pd detains you, they're going to take your recording devices. I need my glasses to see enough to walk around.
also, even more gross: they know what to look for, because until recently, ICE was using these devices. That's been banned, but probably only because they're making their own.

Oh look, they’d know and I’ll be honest, I saw someone else post that on here in another thread, liked their point and I’ve given it no thought other than looking like an observer, not recording. And, I’ll add, I’m not in the US so I don’t have local knowledge.
I’d support their use case for it though.
