Chicago Police Chief Supports Change in Illinois Law to Allow Audio and Video Recording of Police in Action



Should you be able to record what you see a police officer doing in public with your smartphone?

I find it bizarre Illinois has a law that allows video, but doesn't allow audio. Good to see someone like McCarthy have the sense to speak out and say that it needs to be changed.

Where's Aurora Police Chief Greg Thomas on this?

I am actually impressed with Mr. McCarthy. He combines the street knowledge with good common sense. Most Police Chiefs would probably be against such a change in the law because they would want to give maximum protection to their guys. It's nice to see old out-dated laws designed to protect the priveliged go away.
