Illinois Order to Impound Exhibits is a court order that allows for the seizure of evidence in a criminal case. The order is issued by a judge when the state believes the evidence is necessary to prove its case against a defendant. The order requires the state to take custody of the evidence, store it in a secure location, and present it to the court for use in trial. There are two types of Illinois Order to Impound Exhibits: evidentiary exhibits and non-evidentiary exhibits. Evidentiary exhibits are items such as documents, photographs, videos, or physical objects that can be used to prove or disprove an element of a crime. Non-evidentiary exhibits are items that are not directly related to the crime, such as weapons, drugs, or money that were allegedly used in the crime.
