The State of Illinois recently passed a new Eavesdropping Law to get around the Supreme Court decision that ruled the old law with regard to recording police and other public officials performing their duties in public unconstitutional. The new law allows police to declare a "right" to privacy to prevent recording. That declaration is made by the individual officer, without any supervision, and the recording device may be confiscated and the recorder arrested.
