What if this only applies to certain areas of which video booths are not defined? Is there still reasonable expectation of privacy?
In Illinois, even if certain areas like video booths aren't explicitly defined, the expectation of privacy may still exist. Factors include:
- Nature of the location: Private, enclosed spaces often imply privacy.
- Signage: Absence of warnings about recording can suggest privacy.
- Consent: Without explicit consent, recording could violate laws.

How explicit does consent have to be? Is signage fine?
In Illinois, consent for recording generally needs to be explicit, meaning clear and unmistakable. Signage can be considered a form of notice, but it may not always suffice as explicit consent. It's best to obtain verbal or written consent from individuals being recorded. Do you have any other questions?
