These laws applied to LE and public officials are designed to suppress public knowledge about corrupt practices. The FOP response is classic: May be true but the fact is, you can't audio record anybody in Illinois, without consent.

May be true but the fact is, you can't audio record anybody in Illinois, without consent. Interesting. So you have no radio or TV news there? Because I know out here the TV news often records audio of events, like protests, etc, and I seriously doubt they get a signed release from everyone in the crowd...

The law should be changed. I am not opposed to the law as it applies to private individuals. I am opposed to the law as it applies to the conduct of government business. Recording the conduct of government business is an extension of open records laws. Government should be transparent. The ability to record government business supports transparency. I would support an exception only in cases in which the recording disrupts emergency services.

The law needs thrown out.
Another reason to boycott Illinois.
