Filming Cops On Duty Is Now A Felony In Illinois - YouTube

A felony to record cops doing their duty, right out in public?

It's one thing to be a two-party consent state, meaning you cannot record anyone without their consent. BUT, generally speaking, if you are openly doing the filming - holding your phone out, even telling them you're doing it - and they stick around, that's considered "consent."

It'd be pretty ****ed up if this law says the cop can just order you to turn it off and if you don't that's a felony. They have repeatedly proven that they need to be filmed for justice to be served. But that's a youtube link, not an article so.... not spending more time on it.

Is it a felony to record a person who you think is committing a crime but they really weren't?

Hasn't it been ruled many times that nobody in public has an expectation of privacy?

I'm not so sure you should...

BTW, that TYT video was from 2014.
