41-year old Illinois mechanic Michael Allison faces life in jail for recording police officers after authorities hit him with eavesdropping charges based on the hoax that it is illegal to film cops, a misnomer that has been disproved by every other case against people filming police officers being thrown out of court.
The state of Illinois is trying to charge Allison with five counts of wiretapping, each punishable by four to 15 years in prison.
Allison refused a plea deal which would have seen him serve no jail time but would reinforce the hoax that it is illegal to film police officers, as well as acting as a chilling effect to prevent other Americans from filming cases of police brutality.
Allison has chosen to reject the plea bargain and fight to clear his name via a jury trial, arguing, “If we don’t fight for our freedoms here at home we’re all going to lose them.”
A judge is expected to rule on when the case will go to trial over the next two weeks.
As another report concerning the Allison case documents, in every other example where people have been arrested for recording police officers, the charges have been dropped and the case thrown out of court. Despite this fact, the state is so desperate to make an example out of Allison that an assistant from the Attorney General’s Office was recently sent to speak against him during a hearing.
The notion that it is illegal to film police officers is a mass hoax that is being promulgated by authorities, the media, and police officers themselves.

...lol... I'm so confused right now. WTF do they mean "without a consent"? These are public servants, paid with my tax dollars. And ohh, what about the lady being arrested for recording in front of her front yard?? Bull...
We all need to take it to the streets and oppose it, I think it is not the same as eavesdrop. - 9 months ago

I'm pretty sure that these charges will fly like a lead brick, but wouldn't it be great if that lead brick would also blow up in the officers metaphorical faces?

I imagine that some lawyer would love to sue Illinois for false arrest in this case.

I see Illinois didn't get the news on what the Supreme Court said the other day...

It wasn't the supreme court, it was an appeals court. Big difference, but I'm sure you meant to say it the correct way.
