in chicago you'd still probably be beaten half to death and the phone shoved up your ass...it only recently became "legal"; not sure if that was overturned or not:

It is now legal in Illinois for citizens to record interactions with police without their consent, but it’s early in the game for too much celebration.

In 2014, the Illinois Supreme Court found the state’s strict eavesdropping law to be unconstitutional under the First Amendment (People v Clark). Prior to that decision, Illinois had been an outlier among most states with regard to private citizens’ right to record law enforcement officials under any conditions. Most other states already allowed the taping of conversations with police or anyone else without obtaining all-parties’ consent or in most cases, without even letting them know they were being recorded. But in Illinois, taping a conversation with a police officer without consent was a Class 1 felony with ten year prison potential.

Following that decision, it took a year for our state legislature to amend the Illinois Eavesdropping law, and now Illinois law gives citizens the right to record public conversations with police, arrests and other law enforcement activity without their consent. 720 ILCS 5/14-1 is an improvement. Nothing promotes accountability like on the spot electronic documentation.

Also, by law the officer is supposed to tell you why you're being pulled over before they ask for your license and registration, he didn't.

That's not true, but would be more Profesional. It all depends on what the agency policy is but there is no case law that says an officer has to say something right away.

He has to tell you why before he goes back to his vehicle with your information. Facts.

Air freshener, graduation tassel, fuzzy dice, they can pull you over for anything hanging from the rear view mirror because it can obstruct your vision.

I know a state trooper who uses that any time he can if he's looking for an excuse to pull someone over. He's a dick, though.

In short, they will NOT let you dominate the situation which is what this creep was attempting to do which is typical low life Ghetto Trash behavior.


Had the Thug simply cooperated, the cop would have politely explained.

Now, as it turns out, the low life Ghetto Trash Thug piece of cr*p has a brother for which the police were looking.

So, Trayvon Martin here had a Michael Brown brotha.

These are the type of scum with which the police have to contend.


Nome sayin'...?

Yeah. Your a complete idiot of a cop. Dumbass

No. It is NOT 'more professional'.

The cop must control the situation.

Low life Ghetto Trash Thugs constantly try to dominate cops and situations with cops.

What is PROFESSIONAL is for the cop to control - FIRST - then explain as he sees fit.

People who argue otherwise have no Real World experience with...da Black ******* low life Ghetto Trash Thugs...or are Thugs themselves.



I could introduce you to circumstances that would easily clear up your world view in less than a weekend.
