Provides that images from expressway cameras may be used by any municipal police department, county sheriff's office, State Police officer, or other law enforcement agency with jurisdiction over the expressway (instead of "roadway") in Cook County in the investigation of any offense involving the use of a firearm (instead of by law enforcement agencies in the investigation of offenses).
