Another cop was caught doing something wrong again by a man and his video camera, so the unknown cop threatened to unlawfully confiscate the man’s phone if he didn’t to delete the photos. The Hillsboro police are now in cover-up mode.
HIllsboro Cop Causes Crash, Harasses Man for Snapping Photos

This is crap. If an officer thinks your cell phone might have photo or video evidence, they can get a subpeona for it. They can only seize your camera (or phone) if they have reason to believe that they will be unable to retrieve the photos later under subpeona, such as if they had reason to believe you would flee, erase the photos, etc. This is just a scare tactic police use to avoid being policed themselves.
