It seems like you missed what he was saying. He was suggesting pulling the mic down to hear HIMSELF talk and say the license number/cursing/whatever else he says as he gets buzzed. No matter where the mic is, I doubt any court would find the sound of the car wooshing by comparable to eavesdropping or wiretapping without consent.
