Amendment to Eavesdropping Statute Fails in Legislature

Amendment to Eavesdropping Statute Fails in Legislature

From time to time, I have written about the Illinois eavesdropping statute. It is against the law to tape police officers in the line of duty. At least two Illinois courts, in two separate counties including Cook, have ruled the statute to be unconstitutional.

On March 21, 2012, House Bill 3944, which would allow such taping, was voted down 45-59. The issue will now make its way through the appellate courts.
