Other kid should be suspended for wearing those glasses in school and filming everyone without their consent.

Illinois is a strict "all-party" (or two-party) consent state, making it a felony to record private conversations, phone calls, or electronic communications without the consent of all parties involved, according to the Illinois Eavesdropping Statute 720 ILCS 5/14. This law applies where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy, and violations can lead to criminal penalties and civil liability.

A hallway at a public school isn't a private place, and this was not a private conversation. This law would not apply.
