There is an exception written into the statute that exempts police from the law for recording you. But if you record the police with audio without their consent, you are violating the law. They don't want you to record them, but it's ok for them to record you. And it doesn't matter if there is a reasonable expectation of privacy or not, as stated in the statute. So it doesn't matter if you are in the most public of settings, you can't record the police with audio without their consent. It also applies to recording in other places, for instance, you're at your kids ball game and you videotape it. You pick up the conversation of someone sitting near you while recording the game, you have committed a felony. But the police won't bother arresting for that, but they sure will if you dare try to keep them accountable. But recording you over the phone without your consent is a felony as well under the same law in Illinois, punishable by up to I think 15 years in prison.
