WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected an Illinois
prosecutor’s plea to allow enforcement of a law aimed at stopping
people from recording police officers on the job.
The justices on Monday left in place a lower court ruling that found
that the state’s anti-eavesdropping law violates free speech rights
when used against people who tape law enforcement officers. The law
sets out a maximum prison term of 15 years.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit in 2010 against
Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez to block prosecution of
ACLU staff for recording police officers performing their duties in
public places. It’s one of the group’s long-standing monitoring
missions.
