A DUI arrest in Illinois can leave you overwhelmed, uncertain, and searching for answers. If you had a dashcam running during the stop, you’re probably wondering whether that footage can help your case—or if it even matters. The good news is, dashcams are not only legal in Illinois, but they’re becoming an increasingly effective tool in challenging DUI charges, especially when police reports don’t tell the whole story.

As DUI prosecutions in Cook County continue to rely heavily on officer reports and subjective field observations, video evidence can be the most compelling piece of your case.
