There's no expectation of sanity in Illinois. I hate living here.

  Haha, but Illinois will set a precedent to lead the rest of the country in this case. Kudos to the judge.

    I wish I could agree, but I doubt it. It's a matter of state law for one, and for another, " In this particular case, however, Judge Sacks seemed to declare Illinois' law unconstitutional not because it's a citizen's right to record interactions between the police and the public, but because the law was too far-reaching. " i.e. the judge is saying the law is unconstitutional not because the cops should be held accountable, but because it has the potential to criminalize almost any recording made in a public place. The article in the Sun-Times linked says the legislature is trying to fix the root problem, which is good. Pisses me off to see the police unions pushing back, even though it's to be expected.

    It's not a precedent. Illinois is the only state in the U.S. with a law this bad. http://www.pixiq.com/article/illinois-judge-latest-to-deem-wiretapping-law-unconstitutional http://www.pixiq.com/article/illinois-judge-latest-to-deem-w...
