Yet while the average person’s rights seem to shrink under a proposal that is just as antiquated as the 1961 law it tries to replace — a law struck down as unconstitutional by the state Supreme Court — the power of government to operate without overview seems to grow.
This little nugget is also included in this legislation: With permission of a state’s attorney, not a judge, police could legally eavesdrop on individuals for up to 24 hours without a warrant while investigating such serious crimes as murder, sexual assault or kidnapping.
The unspoken danger in that is clear: Expanding police authority to listen in on conversations without a warrant — previously only allowed when there was a “dangerous situation” — is a power more likely to grow rather than be curtailed.

No way that passes Constitutional muster.
Either provision.

Personally, I'm not extremely opposed to the cops listening in to me if they believe I am committing a crime. I hope that I never find myself in that sort of situation, but if I do, I hope that still have enough sense to use more covert means of communication anyway. So, like I always say, if you're not hiding anything, whats the big deal?
Now the idea of it being illegal to film cops is a pile of shite. If they are following the law, then the recording should only show legal activities, right? Should be able to film them for at least 24 hours without a permit, right?

Outside of Chicago, Illinois is a large collection of small towns. These people elect local politicians that are connected with their local Sherrif's departments, who don't appreciate being filmed.

So they can monitor and record us but we can't monitor and record them?
Yay for tyranny

If you ignore all the police shootings, torture, and busted justice system one could argue that America is as good as it ever was. Land of the free.

Absolutely false.
As in not true.
The ACLU itself has put down the false rumors pertaining to this portion of the bill:
"So the new statute generally provides that police, informants, or other members of the public cannot record our private conversations without our permission. Also, we cannot be arrested or prosecuted under the new statute for recording on-duty government officials who are talking to the public as part of their jobs, because those conversations are not private. The new statute respects the appellate court ruling in the case the ACLU brought against the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office: on-duty police officers have no reasonable expectation of privacy in their conversations in public places. "

They just keep trying and trying and trying.
Big brother is so desperate to stop people from recording their actions and holding them accountable by shining a light on their nefarious activities.
