41-year old Illinois mechanic Michael Allison faces a life sentence in prison for recording police officers after authorities hit him with eavesdropping charges based on the hoax that it is illegal to film cops, a misnomer that has been disproved by every other case against people filming police officers being thrown out of court.

The state of Illinois is trying to charge Allison with five counts of wiretapping, each punishable by four to 15 years in prison.

Allison refused a plea deal which would have seen him serve no jail time but would reinforce the hoax that it is illegal to film police officers, as well as acting as a chilling effect to prevent other Americans from filming cases of police brutality.

Allison has chosen to reject the plea bargain and fight to clear his name via a jury trial, arguing, “If we don’t fight for our freedoms here at home we’re all going to lose them.”

A judge is expected to rule on when the case will go to trial over the next two weeks.

As another report concerning the Allison case documents, in every other example where people have been arrested for recording police officers, the charges have been dropped and the case thrown out of court. Despite this fact, the state is so desperate to make an example out of Allison that an assistant from the Attorney General’s Office was recently sent to speak during his hearing.

The notion that it is illegal to film police officers is a mass hoax that is being promulgated by authorities, the media, and police officers themselves.

In the latest example, charges were dismissed against a woman who filmed cops in her own back yard in Rochester, New York.

In Illinois itself, eavesdropping charges against Tiawanda Moore for recording patrol officers were dropped, after a “Criminal Court jury quickly repudiated the prosecution’s case, taking less than an hour to acquit Moore on both eavesdropping counts.”

Despite the fact that recording police officers (public servants) is perfectly legal, Americans are still being arrested for doing so, and the establishment media is enthusiastically perpetuating the hoax that such conduct is unlawful, even though in doing so they are completely eroding protections that guarantee press freedom.

There is no expectation of privacy in public, the police are fully aware of this, which is why they have dash cams on their cars to record incidents, wear microphones and utilize other recording equipment as part of their job.

Cases like Allison’s have been thrown out all over the country and yet police continue to arrest people for filming them as a form of intimidation.

The fact that the state is knowingly ignoring its own laws in order to engage in acts of official repression highlights the rampant criminality that has infested every level of American government. This behavior is reflective of a predatory system that seeks to criminalize all first amendment activities.

It also highlights how petrified the system is about the public being able to document and record acts of police brutality.

Prosecutors in Allison’s case are deliberately attempting jail innocent man for life for an activity that they know full well is not illegal. If anything, they should be the ones being charged with illegal conduct and official oppression.

I hope this guy stays strong and does not plea to this charge! They will try to scare you with high numbers of years if you don’t plea but whatever you do stay strong and don’t take the plea! If you do you will be forever branded as a criminal not to mention spending time in prison when you are innocent.

The people are waking up to this misuse of power and are fighting back aganist it. People please educate yourselves on this matter. It may be you or your family member next. You must know your rights and DONOT plea no matter what without talking to an attorney. NEVER talk to cops! They will lie to you NEVER trust them! They are trained to lie and how to manipulate you! As soon as they arrest you ask for a lawyer! Then they can’t ask you any questions that can be twisted and used against you.
Get informed!
It’s interesting that this and similar cases seem to occur in states that are politically left.
When the LuNaTiCs rrrrunnnn the |||asylum|||…

…the UPstanding go J|A|I|L.
Dirty cops protected, they can record and use any footage against us.. We can’t provide proof on them.. Nice double standard..Alice, Tx.. Is a corrupt place..Lived there for a couple years, every three days, cop car would drive up, hand off sack, of drugs taken out of the evidence locker of court house, hand off to our neighbor.. I started recording it.. No long after was harrashed, then dirty cop came to my place.. Told me I needed to stop harrashing them, told me to turn off camrea, and then he started to go for it… He got it took the tape… They are dirty.. Courts are dirty, judges, etc.. Last 8 years the Congress has been packing distric courts with judges who do not give a darn about Constitution or your rights.. Vote out all incubents, they are the problem.. Any that are there more, than three terms have to go..
- All these new cops are Federal, none local any more.. Trying to find a place to live that does not have dirty cops, dirty court, and sleeze bag distric attorney.. Near impossible.. Then you have the regular attorney’s who will sell you out in a heart beat.. The system has become a sespool.. Prosicute ans enslave.. That is the new reality..
Hopefully, Allison will make an example of these cops and sue them for wrongful arrest.
