Everybody do it.
Reverse Clower-Piven Strategy.
Overwhelm the system with their own B.S.
Who even cares if they're in "public"????? If they're on the clock and being paid with public dollars NOTHING NOWHERE is "private"! I don't want to be an ass about it so I would support on at least a trial basis not installing web-cams in toilet stalls used by public officials, so long as they don't abuse the privilege, but that's about it.
Or just decide that since the rules on recording are unjustly tilted in favor of the state, no recording he ever makes may ever be used to help a state actor, until they fix the rules.

Please support this cause. The Illinois Eavesdropping law at its very core creates a two-class legal system wherein the conversations of the powerful and well-connected are protected to the detriment of the less powerful. The upcoming oral argument presents a unique opportunity for the common citizen to re-establish that legal balance that will unequivocally establish a right to record public officials in their public duties.
Therefore, please contribute to this all-important hearing by either attending it, writing about it, spreading the word or just forwarding the below video and press release to anybody who might be of any help.
