Oak Lawn Attorney | Illinois Eavesdropping Law

A recent Cook County decision declares the Illinois eavesdropping law unconstitutional. The major impact in this decision comes to those who would like to video record police in public places or on their private property. This law was declared unconstitutional and is the start to having the law completely removed from the books. Ultimately, this issue should make it to the Illinois Supreme Court. Attorney Jonathan W. Cole said that "this is a major step to public accountability." This ruling makes it more likely that you can video record the police without harassment and even more important, without court interference.
