23 | enforcement officer at the time of the request that gives | ||||||
24 | rise to reasonable cause to believe that the specified | ||||||
25 | individual will participate in an inculpatory conversation | ||||||
26 | concerning a qualified offense. |
| |||||||
| |||||||

11 | officer at the time of the request for approval, who are | ||||||
12 | acting in conjunction with or as co-conspirators with the | ||||||
13 | individuals specified in the request for approval in the | ||||||
14 | commission of a qualified offense; | ||||||

18 | the written memorialization must be filed, along with the | ||||||
19 | written approval, with the circuit clerk of the | ||||||
20 | jurisdiction on the next business day following the | ||||||
21 | expiration of the authorized period of time, and shall be | ||||||
22 | subject to review by the Chief Judge or his or her designee | ||||||
23 | as deemed appropriate by the court. | ||||||
24 | (3.5) The written memorialization of the request for | ||||||
25 | approval and the written approval by the State's Attorney may | ||||||
26 | be in any format, including via facsimile, email, or otherwise, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | so long as it is capable of being filed with the circuit clerk. | ||||||
2 | (3.10) (Blank). Beginning March 1, 2015, each State's | ||||||

6 | for approval under this subsection; and | ||||||
7 | (B) the number of approvals for each qualified offense | ||||||
8 | given by the State's Attorney. | ||||||
9 | (4) Admissibility of evidence. No part of the contents of | ||||||
10 | any wire, electronic, or oral communication that has been | ||||||
11 | recorded or intercepted as a result of this exception may be | ||||||
12 | received in evidence in any trial, hearing, or other proceeding | ||||||
13 | in or before any court, grand jury, department, officer, | ||||||
14 | agency, regulatory body, legislative committee, or other | ||||||
15 | authority of this State, or a political subdivision of the | ||||||
16 | State, other than in a prosecution of: | ||||||
17 | (A) the qualified offense for which approval was given | ||||||
18 | to record or intercept a conversation under this subsection | ||||||
19 | (q); | ||||||
20 | (B) a forcible felony committed directly in the course | ||||||
21 | of the investigation of the qualified offense for which | ||||||
22 | approval was given to record or intercept a conversation | ||||||
23 | under this subsection (q); or | ||||||
24 | (C) any other forcible felony committed while the | ||||||
25 | recording or interception was approved in accordance with | ||||||
26 | this subsection (q), but for this specific category of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | prosecutions, only if the law enforcement officer or person | ||||||
2 | acting at the direction of a law enforcement officer who | ||||||
3 | has consented to the conversation being intercepted or | ||||||
4 | recorded suffers great bodily injury or is killed during | ||||||
5 | the commission of the charged forcible felony. | ||||||
6 | (5) Compliance with the provisions of this subsection is a | ||||||
7 | prerequisite to the admissibility in evidence of any part of | ||||||
8 | the contents of any wire, electronic or oral communication that | ||||||
9 | has been intercepted as a result of this exception, but nothing | ||||||
10 | in this subsection shall be deemed to prevent a court from | ||||||
11 | otherwise excluding the evidence on any other ground recognized | ||||||
12 | by State or federal law, nor shall anything in this subsection | ||||||
13 | be deemed to prevent a court from independently reviewing the | ||||||
14 | admissibility of the evidence for compliance with the Fourth | ||||||
15 | Amendment to the U.S. Constitution or with Article I, Section 6 | ||||||
16 | of the Illinois Constitution. | ||||||
17 | (6) Use of recordings or intercepts unrelated to qualified | ||||||
18 | offenses. Whenever any private conversation or private | ||||||
19 | electronic communication has been recorded or intercepted as a | ||||||
20 | result of this exception that is not related to an offense for | ||||||
21 | which the recording or intercept is admissible under paragraph | ||||||
22 | (4) of this subsection (q), no part of the contents of the | ||||||
23 | communication and evidence derived from the communication may | ||||||
24 | be received in evidence in any trial, hearing, or other | ||||||
25 | proceeding in or before any court, grand jury, department, | ||||||
26 | officer, agency, regulatory body, legislative committee, or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | other authority of this State, or a political subdivision of | ||||||
2 | the State, nor may it be publicly disclosed in any way. | ||||||
3 | (6.5) The Department of State Police shall adopt rules as | ||||||
4 | are necessary concerning the use of devices, retention of | ||||||
5 | recordings, and reports regarding their use under this | ||||||
6 | subsection (q). | ||||||
