in short you can go to jail for 7 years but the evidence you have to prove you're innocent can put you in prison for 15 years.....
Put yourself in that situation....
Oh and I'm not talking about the inside video, that is perfectly legal - what the case was based on was the outside video which would be a crime to introduce as evidence...
Why is it a crime to introduce it as evidence?
Because it's illegal to tape police in public in Illinois - it's actually a class 1 felony.
My dad has security cameras outside of his house and he recorded them that night w/ audio outside....
The cops fabricated everything that happened outside (lied about everything) the video proves it but my father was unable to introduce this as evidence, because recording the cops is a class 1 felony...
In short: recording the police is a felony in Illinois and could land you in prison for 15 years.
Now, would you rather go to prison for 7 or 15?
Well my father didn't go to prison - he only got DOUBLE the sentence the DA recommended.
Oh yea no one knows that - yea the judge doubled what the DA recommended..
Remember this was the same guy that was arrested for bitching to the cops because a bunch of gang bangers ripped his fence apart and used the pieces as weapons to club one another with back in 1991 and sued the Lake County police department for it and won a civil rights violation case... He was found "not guilty"
I suppose retribution is a bitch...... Even if it is 20 years later..
Oh and the kicker is guess who tried to prosecute my father back in 1991 on that case...
Yep same judge that found him guilty in this case...
Oh and the kicker is this dickhead judge is a republican...
Ironic I know...
