Police Audio Recording Change

As some of you know, it is illegal to record audio without all parties consents, even in a public place. Video is ok, just not audio. CPD Superintendent Garry McCarthy wants to change the law. Under Illinois Law, in order to record audio, BOTH parties must consent to the recording. McCarthy wants to change the law to allow the recording of on-duty Police in public areas. It's a slight change, but no longer will it be an arrestable offense to record police. I'm fine with this. This will award both sides protection, and the ability to prove incidents where the audio can be of great assistance.
