Why depend on their footage? We need to record them ourselves. Counter their surveillance with our own sousveillance.

It's almost like you missed the point. The cops are playing music because someone else is recording them. That is the counter surveillance.
Copyrighted music won't prevent video of cops breaking the law from being used in court, so don't let that tactic dissuade you from recording the police.
Right, but it does help them keep videos from being spread as easily if they get taken down. It sure does seem like the only reason cops ever get punished is public pressure, which relies on people seeing the video.
