Correct me if I am wrong, but I am assuming from your statement that you believe that IL SP officers voluntarily violate the right of the people of IL to keep and bear arms? Wouldn't it be the legislators of IL that are violating the constitutional right, since they are the makers of the law? LEOs are just the enforcers of the law, but there has to be a law made by someone else for them to enforce.
Or is your statement that since they are LEOs they violate everyone's constitutional rights, all the time?
The "I was just following orders" excuse was discredited in the late to mid-40s. They've got a choice as to whether they wish to violate the Constitution or not. They choose to be part of a system that does so, they choose to enforce it's law, they choose to deprive purportedly American citizens of their freedoms. So yes, IL SP voluntarily violate the Constitutional rights not just of IL citizens, but also of Americans who cross their border.
I would have uncovered just to rub the his face in the fact that he's now in a free country.
