First, I hate Illinois. That said, Illinois is one of the few states that have solid protections against 3rd party recordings (both parties have to consent) and tries to provide some protections around biometrics. Though... part of me thinks it's about corrupt politicians not wanting to be caught themselves haha. I frankly left the state because it's so corrupt. The pension fund is missing so much money (combined with state debt) that each family would have to pay >$100k to offset the current deficit. PLUS the population is dropping. That doesn't include other corruption, like the co-sponsor of the marijuana legalization bill selling licenses to grow. She was caught and all they did was remove her as a sponsor, that's it. Nothing else. The one time I saw a glimmer of hope was when everyone voted down an amendment to change the income tax. Left & right politically all agree it's so corrupt and want none of it haha. It's what unifies in the population of the state.
