While recording/photographing law enforcement is protected by the 1st Amendment, there have been cases where folks were brought to court for doing it. Some states also have their own confusing laws to discourage people from recording.

Try practicing mnemonic devices for situations where it's not safe to pull out your phone. The SALUTE acronym is an example.
It's a good skill to practice regardless, as witness statements are notoriously unreliable. Humans are wired to "zoom in" on immediate threats (such as a weapon), so details are missed when recalling the incident later. You have to train your brain to take in the information you want instead of forming a purely emotional memory.
