    To video record in Illinois you do not need to inform anybody, only audio requires consent.

    Illinois's wiretapping law is a "two-party consent" law. Illinois makes it a crime to use an "eavesdropping device" to overhear or record a phone call or conversation without the consent of all parties to the conversation. The law defines an "eavesdropping device" as "any device capable of being used to hear or record oral conversation or intercept, retain, or transcribe electronic communication whether such conversation or electronic communication is conducted in person, by telephone, or by any other means." 720 Ill. Comp. Stat. 5/14-1, -2. If you are operating in Illinois, you should always get the consent of all parties before recording an in-person conversation or telephone call. In addition to subjecting you to criminal prosecution, violating the Illinois wiretapping statute can expose you to a civil lawsuit for damages by an injured party. While you generally are permitted to photograph or record video of people without permission in most public places, it is illegal in Illinois to "videotape, photograph, or film" people without their consent in "a restroom, tanning bed, or tanning salon, locker room, changing room or hotel bedroom." 720 Ill. Comp. Stat. 5/26-4(a) (scroll down).

  10. Re:These LRADs are pathetic on G20 Protesters Blasted By "Sound Cannon" · · Score: 1

    "rapidly" is not exactly a precise amount. What if they mean 10 dB every 10 meters? Also, this device is made for crowd control. Sooner or later it will get used at close range, either by accident or because some idiot tought it was a good idea.

    you chopped off the important part again.

    the rest of the statement gave details, "The sound level will drop off rapidly according to the inverse square law as you get farther away"

    A simple google search will show you that the inverse square law says

    Acoustics The inverse-square law is used in acoustics in measuring the sound intensity at a given distance from the source. Example In acoustics, the sound pressure of a spherical wavefront radiating from a point source decreases by 50% as the distance r is doubled, or measured in dB it decreases by 6.02 dB.

    meaning that every time the distance is doubled the power is halved.

    so precise amount was given, you just ignored it or did not know what it was.

  11. Re:These LRADs are pathetic on G20 Protesters Blasted By "Sound Cannon" · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    only 150 dB? that's plenty to cause irreversable damage.

    That was a good attempt at spinning mrcaseyj's statement, but you fell short.

    You know what he was saying is that the only place the device reaches the level of 150 dB is in a one meter range.

    Not that 150 dB is a low amount.

    The evidence is in the next statement of "The sound level will drop off rapidly according to the inverse square law as you get farther away"

    But I have a suspicion that you are the type to not care about what the truth is, only how it can be twisted to fit whatever cause of the moment you are fighting for.

    Well, the US side of the border now wants to search "laptops, digital cameras, cell phones and any other electronics on your person or in your vehicle", as described in the article.

    What we want on our side of the border is for our authorities to enforce our own gun laws and stop and search people coming from the US into Mexico.

    The real difference is going to be when you cross the border driving. There's been waaay too many documented cases of people buying guns (and I mean big guns, like assault rifles) legally in the US with their God-given 2nd ammendment right and smuggling them to the drug cartels here.

    Searching "laptops, digital cameras, cell phones and any other electronics on your person or in your vehicle" will stop the gun runners how?.....
