Good News: Illinois State Law Making Audio Recording of Police Ruled Unconstitutional

Police are public servants and work in public areas. It is shameful that there are elected officials in Illinois that would pass a law banning recording in public areas. The corrupt Illinois democratic political machine is only trying to protect the muscle. BTW, I am on camera at my workplace almost all of every day. I don't have a problem with that.

Via The Chicago Tribune:

A Cook County judge today ruled the state’s controversial eavesdropping law unconstitutional.

The law makes it a felony offense to make audio recordings of police officers without their consent even when they’re performing their public duties.

Judge Stanley Sacks, who is assigned to the Criminal Courts Building, found the eavesdropping law unconstitutional because it potentially criminalizes “wholly innocent conduct.”
