We can't know, but I don't think that cop realised it was all being recorded. It would be a bit pointless planting eveidence to support his bullshit story if he knew that he was being filmed.
In two other recent cases the people who filmed the cops killing someone have subsequently been busted for drug posession, whether they had drugs or not, and they are now locked up.

I live on the planet where it has happened and they do have the powers.
I sat in the court room listening as the cop explained how he obtained the evidence, as the manager of the company also testified how the data was turned over to police.
The judge and the defence team had absolutely no problem with how the evidence was obtained.
In the end the case failed over a minor technical error that the police are unlikely to make again. The lawyer was a very high calibre well respected one too.
My colleague who I was there to support was lucky that although there was a stack of charges there was no injury/accident involved so the cops had been little slack on their homework.

GPS data on speed is fully accepted as respectable evidence in NZ court for speed. This was stated by the judge in above mentioned case and has been accepted in various serious accident cases.
In regards of location and time no precedents have been set but a current major trial in Akld may change/correct that.

Whilst you are right (spoke with someone in the know), and there is nothing to stop the police issuing an order demanding the data be released, it is a phone app. It doesn't monitor the driver, amongst many other factors, so it's far from condeming.
It's all rather acedemic for bikes anyway, the whole point is monitoring how smoothly you accellerate and decellerate etc. Even an asthmatic 250 typically accellerates at speeds the app would consider excessive, and therefore mark you down on.
GPS logs have been common on many vehicles in varied transport industry.
GPS is often/usually installed in the vehicles to provide accurate knowledge of that vehicles location to predict arrival/delivery times. The "Other" information delivered ... is that firms downside ..
The confiscation of the data they provide ... has often been made by police. Nothing new there ...
