Technically Legal

We mentioned earlier that an Illinois woman was detained and arrested for recording a birthday party in a movie theater. Since we posted that the charges have been dropped, and the woman is now considering suing the theater. As we mentioned the statute makes it virtually impossible to recover against the theater, but if nothing else this has raised the profile of the law, and may get it modified or taken off the books.
