4th Dist.

Affirmed.
Justice: 
McCULLOUGH
Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance. Counsel was not ineffective for failing to object to introduction of video recording into evidence, played for jury, from buttonhole camera worn during drug sting. Original intent of clause creating additional right to privacy in Illinois Constitution was in response to concern that government might use technology to develop a general information bank for personal information; and Defendant invited drug buyer into his home; thus, no reasonable probability that motion to suppress would have been granted. (TURNER, concurring; COOK, specially concurring.)
