Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Motions to Suppress
Defendant was charged with two counts of DUI. Section 30 of State Police Act, which requires that police cars be equipped with video recording device to record traffic stops. Court abused its discretion in suppressing officer's testimony about field sobriety tests as a sanction for officer's failure to capture field sobriety tests on video. State did not commit a discovery violation, as State turned over the video, and as Section 30 of Act is directory, and does not provide remedy for noncompliance. (JORGENSEN and BIRKETT, concurring.)
