Comments on: ACLU Suing Over Illinois Eavesdropping Act http://www.myillinoisdefenselawyer.com/2010/08/23/aclu-illinois-eavesdropping-act/ Tue, 31 Jan 2012 21:27:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: dave http://www.myillinoisdefenselawyer.com/2010/08/23/aclu-illinois-eavesdropping-act/comment-page-1/#comment-393 dave Fri, 08 Oct 2010 18:11:14 +0000 http://www.myillinoisdefenselawyer.com/?p=259#comment-393 Couldn't agree more, Jim. The laws limiting videotaping the police only provide cover for bad cops. Decent cops acting reasonably shouldn't be against this. Most people will always give the cops the benefit of the doubt when dealing with a clearly belligerent or out of control citizen, but it is all too easy for the police to abuse their authority. Against this we need to be protected. Thanks for commenting. Couldn’t agree more, Jim. The laws limiting videotaping the police only provide cover for bad cops.

The police are public servants and public employees, every employer in the state is allowed to video tape their employees, why shouldn't we (the employers of the police) be allowed to video tape our employees (the police)?
