IL SB3503

Persons in police custody have the right to communicate free of charge with an attorney and family members within one hour after arrival at the first place of custody and before any questioning occurs.

Persons in custody must be provided access to make at least 3 telephone calls via landline or cellular phone and the ability to retrieve contact list phone numbers from their cellular phone before it is inventoried.

Notice of these rights must be posted conspicuously at every police custody facility, including the public defender's telephone number if one is appointed in that jurisdiction; calls to attorneys must not be monitored or recorded.

When a person is transferred to a new custody location, their right to make at least 3 telephone calls within one hour of arrival is renewed.

Statements made by persons detained in police custody in violation of these provisions are presumed inadmissible as evidence unless law enforcement proves by preponderance of the evidence they did not knowingly prevent or delay the person's communication rights.
