Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(725 ILCS 5/108A-9) (from Ch. 38, par. 108A-9)

Sec. 108A-9.

Motion to Suppress Contents of Recording, etc.

(a) Any aggrieved person in any judicial or administrative
proceeding may move to suppress the contents of any recorded
conversation or evidence derived therefrom on the grounds that:

(1) the conversation was unlawfully overheard and recorded;

(2) the order of authorization or approval under
which the device was used or a recording made was
improperly granted; or

(3) the recording or interception was not made in
conformity with the order of authorization.

(b) Such a motion shall be made before the proceeding
unless there was no previous opportunity for such motion.  If
the motion is granted, the contents shall be treated as having
been obtained in violation of this Article.  Upon the filing
of such a motion, the judge may in his discretion make
available to the moving party or his attorney such portions
of the recorded conversation or evidence derived therefrom as
the judge determines to be in the interests of justice.
