Wow. Prosecutors moved to prosecute a 13 year old for recording a conversation with a principal?

Even after the IL state govt made it finally legal to record a conversation with other public officials (like cops)?

So much for public transparency with local tax dollars that go to schools.

Good article.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn that the reason it's being pursued is because of how absurd it is--to finally put it to rest once and for all.

And unfortunately they’re using a 13-yo for their chess pieces. I have to believe there’s better existing cases which can be appealed to test this law.

IL is a pretty crazy place.
