Illinois Freedom from Drone Surveillance Act (725 ILCS 167)

Illinois's drone statute (725 ILCS 167, effective Jan 1, 2014; P.A. 98-569). Narrower than Florida or Texas: it governs law-enforcement drone use only (warrant requirement, a 45-day retention limit, and evidence inadmissibility), and does not regulate private-party drones or general flight operation. (Illinois's biometric law, BIPA, is separate and handled under the humanoid/workplace-AI wave.)
