She couldn't "know" the stop was illegal, only act on concern about the possibility. 

The reason for doing so would be her previous experience with the frequency illegal stops.

I'm sure she understood the stop COULD have been perfectly legal but, in case it were not,
filming would be useful if questions were raised later about police handling of the event. 

I would never think to do that, but I am not a NY attorney constantly dealing with Police misconduct
as part of my job, e.g., people stopped and frisked everyday according to "profiles."
