720 ILCS 5/ Criminal+Code+of+1961.

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 21‑9. Criminal trespass to a place of public amusement.

(a) A person commits the offense of criminal trespass to a place of public
amusement if he or she knowingly and without lawful authority enters or
remains
on any portion of a place of public amusement after having received notice that
the general public is restricted from access to that portion of the place of
public amusement. Such areas may include, but are
not limited to: a playing field, an athletic surface, a stage, a locker room,
or
a dressing room located at the place of public amusement.

(a‑5) A person commits the offense of criminal trespass to a place of public
amusement if he or she knowingly and without lawful authority gains access
to or remains on any portion of a place of public amusement by presenting false documents or falsely representing his or her identity orally to the property owner, a lessee, an agent of either the owner or lessee, or a
performer or participant.  This subsection (a‑5) does not apply to a peace officer or other official of a unit of government who enters or remains in the place of public amusement in the performance of his or her official duties.

(b) A property owner, a lessee, an agent of either the owner or lessee, or a
performer or participant may use reasonable force to restrain a trespasser and
remove him or her from the restricted area; however, any use of force beyond
reasonable force may subject that person to any applicable criminal penalty.

(c) A person has received notice within the meaning of subsection (a) if
he or she has been notified personally, either orally or in writing, or if a
printed
or written notice forbidding such entry has been conspicuously posted or
exhibited at the entrance to the portion of the place of public amusement that
is
restricted or an oral warning has been broadcast over the public address system
of the place of public amusement.

(d) In this Section, "place of public amusement" means a stadium, a theater,
or any other facility of any kind, whether licensed or not, where a live
performance, a sporting event, or any other activity takes place for other
entertainment and where
access to
the facility is made available to the public, regardless of whether admission
is charged.

(e) Sentence. Criminal trespass to a place of public amusement is a Class
4 felony. Upon imposition of any sentence, the court shall also impose a
fine of not less than $1,000. In addition, any order of
probation or conditional discharge entered following a conviction shall include
a condition that the offender perform public or community service of not less
than 30 and not more than 120 hours, if community service is available in the
jurisdiction and is funded and approved by the county board of the county where
the offender was convicted. The court may also impose any other condition of
probation or conditional discharge under this Section.

Sec. 21‑10.

Criminal  use of   a  motion   picture

exhibition facility.

(a)  Any  person, where a motion picture is being exhibited, who knowingly operates an audiovisual recording function of a device  without the consent of the owner

enforcement authorities  of  an  alleged  violation  of  this

Section  is  not  liable  in  any civil action arising out of

measures taken by that owner, lessee, licensor, agent, or  employee  in

the course of subsequently detaining a person that the owner,

lessee, licensor, agent, or   employee,    in good faith believed to have
violated this Section  while  awaiting  the  arrival  of  law

enforcement  authorities,  unless  the  plaintiff  in such an

action shows by  clear  and  convincing  evidence  that  such

measures  were  manifestly  unreasonable  or  the  period  of

detention was unreasonably long.

is being exhibited as   part   of   lawfully   authorized

gathering activities.

RESIDENTIAL PICKETING

720 ILCS 5/21.1‑1

(720 ILCS 5/21.1‑1) (from Ch. 38, par. 21.1‑1)

Sec. 21.1‑1.

Legislative finding and declaration.

The Legislature finds and declares that men in a free society have the
right to quiet enjoyment of their homes; that the stability of community
and family life cannot be maintained unless the right to privacy and a
sense of security and peace in the home are respected and encouraged; that
residential picketing, however just the cause inspiring it, disrupts home,
family and communal life; that residential picketing is inappropriate in
our society, where the jealously guarded rights of free speech and assembly
have always been associated with respect for the rights of others. For
these reasons the Legislature finds and declares this Article to be
necessary.

Sec. 21.1‑2.

It is unlawful to picket before or about the residence
or dwelling of any person, except when the residence or dwelling is used
as a place of business. However, this Article does not apply to a person
peacefully picketing his own residence or dwelling and does not prohibit
the peaceful picketing of the place of holding a meeting or assembly on premises
commonly used to discuss subjects of general public interest.
