I'm asking whether you'd make an exception where the citizen can't be expected to know the interlocutor is a police officer.

I think most people who have done nothing wrong wouldn't mind being recorded, unknowingly, by a police officer. Done nothing wrong, don't dislike the police, what's the objection?
It is only the people who have done something wrong, people who dislike the police, and perhaps a few civil libertarians, who would object to being unknowingly recorded. Which is not the kind of people that we don't want recorded. The police need protection, too.
Yes, change the laws. imo
