What’s the law regarding filming a police encounter in CY?

I’ve watched a lot of videos where filming a police encounter saved many people’s asses. But from youtube channels like “Audit the audit” I also noticed that there’s a lot of laws and supreme court decisions you need to be aware of to correctly handle such an encounter or an over-reaching police officer let’s say.

So I was wondering out of curiosity and for the sake of education. Imagine one day you come across an asshole who just wants to abuse their power. You wanna be able to put them in their place and have them face consequences if they abused their power. To me it makes perfect logical sense that you’re able to film a public servant in a public space. But what’s the actual law in CY regarding this? Can you pull up your phone and start recording the moment an officer interacts with you in your car for example? Can you use it as evidence in a court? Under what circumstances are you legally required to ID yourself and under which are you not? Feel free to add your own questions below and hopefully someone with legal knowledge/experience can chime in.
