The current direction of the law/case in IL is positive, in that the law is barred from being enforced at the moment and police are not protected from unknowingly being audio recorded during the course of their duties. It also seems that they're attempting to redraft the law to clarify/allow non-consensual recording of police during their duties, while retaining the rest.

The concern, to me, being that this case still has to go through the lower courts and the IL state representatives still need to finalize a new version. Here's to hoping for a further preservation of our liberties.
