Even Georgia doesn't do this, as far as I know. I have given up on the south and want to move, don't know where, someplace nicer. Obviously, Illinois is out.

42-year-old Michael Allison of Illinois could spend the rest of his life in prison for recording police in public. He faces five counts of eavesdropping, a class one felony. Of course, the police are allowed to video people in public with impunity.
The Illinois Assistant Attorney General has joined the case and told the judge that citizens do not have the constitutional right to record police.
