I installed Qik on my phone from the market (not an included app on the phone), and it works. Sorting through some older posts on 'open carrying qik' it turns out that unlike before, videos can now be deleted from the phone through the app. I put a PIN lock on my phone so I can hopefully hit the button and it would prevent access to the phone and app, but recording will stop but still whatever I recorded up to that point will have automatically been uploaded. I figure next best thing is to have Qik upload to my (previously unused) YouTube channel where it is out of reach, and a test of that was successful too it did it automatically. I don't OC for YouTube fame obviously but it's safe there.
So I guess I don't really have a question, just wanted to put that out there. With access to the phone an unscrupulous LEO can delete it from Qik's server, assuming he isn't a huge Luddite. I never hope to have any encounters, but cops range in all spectrum from dirty low-lifes to straight up professional, either way it's always their word against yours/mine.
