in most places, it s legal to record anybody doing most anything in a public place. but in illinois, you need to get their permission first. otherwise, it could be a felony. and if you try to record a public safety officer or a cop or anything else without his or her consent, that can carry the same penalty as drug trafficking. only two other states have similar statutes, massachusetts and oregon. i recall earlier in month the judge in the illinois eaves dropping said it s unconstitutional. it s still in the books and some lawmakers want that to change. mike tobin with the news live in chicago. this is nifty stuff for police who don t want things recorded now isn t it, mike? it can be and some illinois lawmakers are working fast to get this law off of the books, shepard. the deadline they re working toward is late may when the nato summit comes to chicago. strongs of protesters are expected to show up. they are revved to protest. when they scrap with police they generally record
