Rule of Law: Government in all of its actions is bound by rules fixed and announced beforehand - rules which make it possible to forsee with fair certianty how authority will use its coercive powers in given circumstances and to plan one's individual affairs on the basis of this knowledge.

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.

Quick gun repost from another site.

The Arizona Department of Safety Officer pulled over pick-up truck owner Mike Murray for a weapons check because of an NRA bumper sticker.

When the officer approached the vehicle, the man behind the wheel handed the officer his driver's license, insurance card and concealed carry permit.

The officer took all the documents, looked them over and said, "Mr. Murray, I see you have a CCP. Do you have any weapons with you?"

The driver replied, "Yes I do. I have a 357 handgun in a hip holster, a .45 in the glove box and a .22 derringer in my boot."

The officer looked at Mike and asked, "Anything else?"

"Yes. I have a Mossberg 500 12 gauge and an AR-15 in the trunk."

The officer asked if the man was driving to or from a shooting range and the man said he wasn't, so the officer bent over and looked into the driver's face and said "Mr. Murray, you're carrying quite a few guns. May I ask what you are afraid of?"

Mike locked eyes with the officer and calmly answered, "Not a friggin’ thing".
