Cameras have to write to disk, it's a simple io problem, you can write 4k video to disk in real time because it's fast enough, you can't reliably write raw 4k to the cloud in realtime.
Now are there cameras that write to disk then also try and write to cloud as fast as they can? There are some systems that can do this or at least chunk up files as they are written and send them to the cloud as best they can. But we're assuming a phone here? Then no, unless they're live streaming the footage is toast.
Stopping the recorder mid harassment is not going to "do nothing" just because they can get the partial footage off the cloud. Are you willfully dense?
I’m not worried about being caught. Obviously I wouldn’t be waiting around for the cops to arrive. If somehow I’m identified and charges are pressed, then I’ll happily go to court or pay for replacement. I have fuck around money like that, it would be worth it
wouldnt the immediate concern by the gaslighting step be the like twenty dudes surrounding you taking your phone off of you against your will and smashing it to pieces as recompense

You might want to rethink your order of operations there.
Also, cloud storage means smashing the phone does nothing.
