Correct me if I'm wrong, but since t he 7th Cir. is only IL, IN, and WI, this decision not to review the case only safeguards our right to secretly record the police in IL, IN, and WI, and not the other 47 states of the union, or federal enclaves.

Per the article
"By passing on the issue, the justices left in place a federal appeals court ruling that found that the state's anti-eavesdropping law violates free-speech rights when used against people who audiotape police officers."
So does this not apply to video/pics of LEO?
I could be mistaken but I think pics and video were always allowed so long as they did not record audio.

Maybe it's just a COOK COUNTY, IL issue but taking pics of Chicago LEOs in action is a and you will get arrested.

I believe that Illinois has home rule that allows counties to enact their own criminal code. Not the case in Indiana.Don't they just make up their own law as they go along in Cook County?
It depends on what basis the 7th Circuit decided it. If it addressed it as a matter of Illinois law, then it would be binding on Illinois only. If as a matter of federal law, it would apply to the states of the circuit.
Outside the circuit, not binding.
There are 47 more states? What happened to the other 10??

They must be hidden in the same vault that Big Zero' supporters think holds his stash of giveaway cash.
