Not sure what you mean? Illinois has nothing regarding media and scanners.

I guess posting info you hear on scanner. But no personal info.

I run a media/press site, and get the info via a scanner.

"{ot} as a kma member what i thought was a rumor turned out to be true. how can another cpd officer that is obviously a major hair gel type arrest another cpd sgts father for having a police scanner its true happend in 008 district. does that mean that hair gel will man up and enforce this law across the board and hair gel will be stopping the news media arresting reporters and camera man towing the news vehicles? of course not what punk that should resign and move out of mommies basement."

They mention "enforce this law". Not sure what to make of it.
