I'm sure in the end the way it works is you get the fine because the cop was not originally seeking you out, you sought them out.
IE, you have a right to film your interaction about violating the 8ft rule just like you are allowed to film your interaction about breaking a speed limit. And just like you might actually be guilty of beeaking the speed limit, you might actually be guilty of breaking the 8ft rule, of someone else's interaction.
It's not even really invalid, just somehow still pretty convenient for one party, and it's the party that already wields the power of the state.
