Looks like the troll is back. No one is "throw[ing] a fit", which 
qualifies this as trolling.

Furthermore, the troll is making stuff up that goes far beyond what the 
law actually is in Illinois on this:
(50 ILCS 725/3.4) (from Ch. 85, par. 2557)
Sec. 3.4. The officer under investigation shall be informed in writing 
of the name, rank and unit or command of the officer in charge of the 
investigation, the interrogators, and all persons who will be present on 
the behalf of the employer during any interrogation except at a public 
administrative proceeding. The officer under investigation shall inform 
the employer of any person who will be present on his or her behalf 
during any interrogation except at a public administrative hearing.
(Source: P.A. 94‑344, eff. 1‑1‑06.)

The "POBR" cited is clearly open to negotiation. The notion that police 
have rights on the job that other workers do not have access that are 
irrevocable strikes at the heart of equal before the law. And a recent 
issue of an Illinois publication makes it clear that this issue is 
completely open to negotiation by management:

In fact, no national POBR even exists, except as the goal of law 
enforcement unions. If they want to campaign for that, they can do it 
elsewhere than on Indymedia:
