What will be the outcome of Illinois making recording the police be a felony?

Asked by Zaku (30353points) December 9th, 2014

I have recently read that the Supreme Court established that it was legal to record the police when they are in public. Apparently this new law in Illinois makes it a felony.

I am interested in what people with legal knowledge have to say about the future of this legislative move. Will it be thrown out by some pre-Supreme-Court process, since there is a recent ruling? Or does this somehow bypass the recent decision, and will need to be challenged by a new case being slowly appealed up to higher courts, with some martyr being held while their case is appealed?

Other comments are ok, but I am mainly interested in what is likely to happen.
