280 Cameras
Amazing. Will they actually find the money for 280 additional cameras but not for fitting and retro fitting cars with PDT mounts for the new and more modern computers?
Another 280 Chicago Police squad cars will be equipped with video cameras — at a cost of $2.2 million — expanding an experiment that began with allegations that a sergeant mistreated state Sen. James Meeks.
The 280 cameras will bring to 310 the number of cameras installed in squad cars to record traffic stops. That’s enough to equip the beat car in every one of the city’s 280 police beats.
We refer our readers back to "the memo" where the Chief of Patr.... oops, we mean Deputy Superintendent of the Bureau of Patrol states that we will all soon be getting the new and more modern PDTs.
Place your bets boys and girls - which are we going to see first? Cameras to provide political cover or PDTs to make our jobs just a little bit easier?

How about using this money to place
A R 15's or shotguns in every squad car. It will probably take another North Hollywood shootout (this time in Chicago) before that happens.
if I were in the beat car (I'm not), it would be a cold day in hell before I'd use the lights, to activate the camera, so me and the citizen driver were on "live"; unless, of course, the CC State's Attorney "promises" that he will prosecute to the "fullest extent of the law" any complaint filed against me, that the video shows to be false...
Doubtful that will never happen. When the North Hollywood shootout occurred Hillard stated that so many CPD would converge on the site,the situation would be neutralized.
But @ that time you were probably popping zitz and playing pattycake w/ suzy rottencrotch.
You want an AR-15 so badly, go over to the Marine Reserve center on Foster they'll hook you up with lotsa trigger time.
They should just spend the money sewing our eyes shut...that way, we can't create any problems for little dick
Welllllllllllll, the cameras do have a good use for two "stellar" tfaffic guys- RA and HB. They are great when these two fine examples of brotherhood and loyalty write their fellow officers DUIs. IAD gets the download and you are toast.
Just remember who had the first in car video camera in CPD.......JOE MEDZIANOWSKI! ha ha ha ha ha ha
Maybe the money will come from all that profit from the Olympics.
*cough*

What about the camera helmet? It would be a great tool on domestics. Will the city make the video tracks available to watch?
Gee, more talk of assault weapons in cars? NO WAY COPPER! We see on police shootings the firing of over 50 rounds fired by the police. Give you assault weapons for more firepower? What, spray and pray tactics? 300-plus shots fired?
Anybody hear about the trouble brewing for Area 5 sgt. M.V.?
if the beat cops get ar's or shotguns???!
#1 they wont know how to shoot them. 1/2 the dept cant even pass the BS 30 round pistol qualification!
#2 they will just detroy the weapons. need i remind you cpd had shotguns before! think about it! i saw it with my own eys years ago...guys used them for damn ashtrays!
#3 dont we have a new SWAT team with heavy weapons cars out there all the time??? ive seen them in action. i see it like this.,..the beat cops & the city dont use them enough. call them, thats what their use is for.
ill stick with my 6-shooter! 64 days till retirement !! stay safe.
The watch commanders can look in on you through the w/c computer at their desk too! They can watch through your camera on your squad. "Hey officer, have you left D.D. yet?" True story....
If you are confronted with firepower like that RUN!! You do not have the firepower to neutralize that threat and you will die. Call the National guard they have AR-15's. Let the mayors security detail shoot it out with them. And there are no gun stores you can go to to borrow weapons like they did in L.A. You can always try and be a hero, then fail. I will come to your funeral and say " he was a good guy". They will forget about you in 6 mos. THE SAD TRUTH Get your car keys and ride around for 8 hrs.
Inspectors are now told to write up cars that on traffic stops use only spotlights as the spotlights alone will no activate cameras! this dept is going downhill extremely fast! Take your breaks,lunch,read the paper try to make it to retirement! the upper management is all clouted shit!
fine with me. i'll just ghost ride my beat car with the camera into a brick wall so it will be down every 6 months.

Yup.
Now shut the fuck up and change the tire on my squad you fucking grease monkey! Leave police work to the poleese.
Great now I'm definately aint doing shit. Do you think I want my traffic stop on the westside to be filmed, as if the animals need more evidence for their lawsuits.
As for swat, they may cary heavy weapons but how often are they in situations in which they are needed. Most of time they are shooting at the area.
Looks like Second City Rookie bit the dust.
Lil'Mayor had no idea about the Sears Tower being in attack #2. What the fuck would the stuttering ass do about it anyways-cry on T.V. like he did when his son got arrested at their summer cottage "notice all son's friends got arrested for AGG. BATTERY but the cryin' baby's son was not charged"? The babbaloonin' stutterin' prick would ask for more dollars for his olympics. "And I Guarentee NO ONE DIME OF TAX DOLLARS WILL BE SPENT ON THE 2016 OLYMPICS"! USOC- give the U.S. entry to LOS ANGELES-this fuckin mayor is about as smart as the cicadas who are about to appear in our town after 17 yrs. underground.
4 killed in n.y., 2 were unarmed auxillary officers.

well the audio will catch me singing fine tunes to the great citizens of our city. monkey says I sound like 2 wildebeasts making whoopy, whatever that means. I am sure it is a compliment.

Yeah, ok. Ill call the heavy weapons car....
1. they are not ALL qualified. Yes, they have good guys, but face it...they are pulled from SOS, which is a phone call unit. Leaves 99% of the dept out. Don't you think that maybe even 1 beat copper could make swat if given the chance? I know military snipers that cannot make swat cause they have no phone call... Who trains better, cpd or marines? Hmmmm.
2. they have slow response time. Even if they rush, you could be pinned down for several minutes. Even if they drive 85 mph, it could take 5 or 10 min to get to you. Or your dead body. I'd rather take my chances making it to MY car and grabbing MY shotgun....
3. 6 shooter? Hope you have a HUGE dump pouch.
We will have to agree to disagree...CONGRATS on retirement, have a great time, and live a long, long, time...make little dick cut a fat check to you for MANY more decades!!!!

Well old salty nutz, it must be great being an oracle and all. Foreseeing the future.
Doesn't the city of Chicago LEAD THE NATION in bank robberies?
It's a good thing you have decreed that that will never happen! Phew!
It's also a good thing the animal doesnt have mac 10's, tec 9's, ak's, etc brought in from IN and MS. I guess I'll just have to wait for SWAT if I find myself under fire.
We must let them out arm us, it would be racial and insensitive if we actually cared about our lives!
Great, so shitbird Meeks gets 280 new cameras and I STILL don't have a PDT.
Screwed again.
Hey media, why don't you do a story on how we don't have half the shit we need to do our job SAFELY and EFFECTIVELY?
it gets me sick to hear them say it will benefit the department in the prosecution of criminal cases and to stop people from making up false allegations against the police.
yada, yada, yada. like cook county will use the tapes to prosecute a case. this county blows. the jails are all overcrowed, 4x their capacity, the asa give stupid crazy super duper probation, the judges throw out pc when their is etc and we're suppose to believe they will ascertain the tapes let alone use them to prosecute a case, yeah right.
typical city and dept. they have their head so far up their asses. never spending money where it SHOULD be spent. patrol cars with 170,000 miles on them being held together with duct tape and coat hangers. half the cars don't even have the old pdt's let alone the new ones. their is never any open computers in the station to do your work or process your prisoners. bag logs everynight - no manpower (how about using money to hire a lot more coppers).
SCC, you just ruined my day.
Go to the chicagotribune.com and find the article on "Tank" Johnson going to jail. Click on the Photo link and you get his CC Jail ID.
Chump.
Off topic.
Maybe the U.S. should contact Chicago city leaders concerning terrorism intelligence.
Even though Khalid Shaikh Mohammed
admitted that the Sears tower was a
target, officials in Chicago stated that they had not herd of such a threat. So since their vast intelligence network has not come to the same conclusion it must be false.
I for one feel safe
knowing Chicago is not a
target.
Chicago can now return all of $$$ it receives for homeland security,
it obviously is not need.
Check out the article in the Tribune.

off topic: I paid $10 to attend the "american knights" st. pattys day party. WHAT A JOKE! The entire situation. From a fake warehouse as the "club house" to the fake bikers who, get this, DROVE THEIR CARS TO THE PARTY!!! I mean what kind of "knights" are they kidding themselves to be??? Not to mention the rodent/roach (not members, actual creatures) infestation in the warehouse! And entertainment provided by way of midget porn! Real tough you fucking losers! What a fake ass club they are posing to be. Now Im sure some douch bag "biker" (notice the ") will explain how real they are, and what a great place it is, and how tough they are and how I should let them know who I am so blah blah blah... For the future, any one who comes accross these fakers know them for who they are and not who they are pretending to be... I mean I couldnt imagine what would happen if they came accross a REAL organization... actually, yes...I can HAHAHA anyways, they beg for donations so in case you are unfortunate enough to share the same air as the bitches just know... theyre about as real a motorcycle group as the Shriners on those little bikes!!! HAHAHAA

You are nuts! There are so many goofs on this job that shouldn't even be allowed to carry a sling shot. I'd be terrified of about 60% of the people on this job being allowed access to heavy weapons.

I don't know if you ever saw this article by ORACLE in 2003, but reveals the great prescience of our past departmental oracle Ron Huberman. http://www.oracle.com/customers/profiles/PROFILE4257.HTML. “We've gained an equivalent of 300 officers on the street." -- Ron Huberman
Hey, relax... most likely the cameras will be contracted out to an extremely high priced bidder for an extremely low quality product. If they are as reliable as the rest of our computer crap, we will be fine, because they will be out of range, will crash constantly, will wear out after a few months, or will never work at all...
We are definately due for another shoot out bank robbery somewhere in the U.S. They had one in Miami in 1981 that led the F.B.I. to go to the Glock. And of course, the Bank of America robbery in L.A. I put my money on Chicago being the next spot for World's Scariest Police Videos episode of "When Bank Robberies Go Bad." We already lead the nation in bank robberies. Hey, we still walk into a bank after we get a "hold up" alarm. Shouldn't O.E.M.C. make contact with a bank employee, have them step outside and meet the police so we don't walk into a bank robbery/hostage situation?
I just got on the job not too long ago and I can not believe the constant bitching about the department. If you hate this job that bad than retire or quit already. So what if someone get promoted. If they have a phone call or clout, more power to them. The old timers in my district don't back anybody up. You can always see them sitting in that park like nothing came over the radio. Then later on in the station they'll start telling everyone what to do long after the offender has been processed and the gun inventoried. If your going to be that lazy ass copper that doesn't do anything but wants to bud in on everyone else's arrest, do us a favor and stay in your car. I do understand that the older you get the more crankier you are, but keep it to yourself. No one cares about listening to your only arrest from 1958.
ITS FUNNY RIGHT AFTER 9/11 MY AIR FORCE RESERVE UNIT WAS ACTIVATED. TWO DAYS AFTER THE ATTACK, OUR COL. OF OUR UNIT TOLD US AT A SQUADRON BRIFING WAS THAT THE INTELLIGENCE REPORT THEY HAD ON 09/13/01 WAS THAT THE TERRORIST HAD PLAN TO BLOW UP SEARS TOWER. ITS FUNNY MY AIR FORCE COMMANDER KNEW ABOUT TWO DAYS AFTER 09/11 BUT IT TOOK DICK AND FAT PHILL OVER FIVE YEARS. YEAH I AM CONFIDENT IN THE LEADERSHIP IN THIS CITY, CAN any one say TITANIC.
A sad day. Please keep these PO's in your prayers!
-----------------------------------
NEW YORK (AP) -- A grand jury Friday indicted at least three of the five police officers whose 50-shot barrage killed an unarmed man on his wedding day, lawyers for the officers said.
It was not immediately disclosed if the other officers were also charged.
Attorney Paul Martin said he did not know what offense his client, officer Marc Cooper, was charged with.
"He has been indicted. He has been asked to surrender on Monday," Martin said.
News of the decision came after three days of deliberations that included the emergence of a last-minute witness who testified Thursday.
Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown scheduled an announcement for Monday.
Anticipation has been running high around New York City about the grand jury's decision. Extra police officers were put on standby and the mayor met with black leaders in the Queens neighborhood where the shooting occurred in hopes of defusing any tensions that might arise from the decision.
A 23-person grand jury is hearing the case, and 12 grand jurors needed to vote for an indictment for charges to be brought. The panel includes eight blacks, seven whites, and a mix of Hispanics and Asians.
"Whatever the grand jury says ... I think you will see the people of this city behaving in an exemplary manner," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Friday. "They can be disappointed, they can express themselves -- that's freedom of speech, I don't have a problem with that. But nobody is going to go out and make our streets unsafe."
The case took a strange twist Thursday when a last-minute witness emerged and testified before the grand jury, which is deciding whether to issue charges in the deadly shooting of 23-year-old Sean Bell on his wedding day. Two of his friends were wounded.
The shooting that killed Bell stirred outrage around New York City and led to accusations of racism against police. Bell was black, as are two of his friends who were wounded in the shooting. Two of the officers are white, and three are black.
I used to be one of the guys who would mock the PO's who just get the keys and drive for eight hours and do no work.
But this is just another example of how politicians are fucking up this job. So now every traffic stop I do, the animal and his lawyers can subpoena the tapes and try to find a way to jam me up and/or sue me.
Morale is fucking shot. I might be one of these salty old bastards that doesn't do shit soon enough!

"CLEAR automates everything we do in the police department, from personnel management to detailed field incident reports," said Ron Huberman, assistant deputy superintendent, Office of Information and Strategic Services at CPD. "It includes the entire arrest and booking process: taking offenders into custody, mug shots, everything. CLEAR places it all in one integrated platform. It's enabling us to become a completely paperless police department by the end of 2003. All information will be in the hands of the officers, making them better equipped to protect our communities." Ron Huberman -- 2003

Invest in wire cutters or vaseline to smear the lens!! Coppers are very resourceful, we'll think of some way to get around the cameras.
gotta love the department leadership with future superintendent c.w. nothing but a clout iad house mouse who is now going to tell street cops how to act. yeah right. i hope all the bosses had to watch to "ethics" training video also. maybe the days of all the hot pants hoes who suck up on every bosses ass for a cushy office spot will come to an end. once again, yeah right. now cameras in the cars because of some crybaby meeks who drops the age old "race card" because he alleges he got picked on as a result of his color. unbelievable. here's a thought: how about when you are wrong you are wrong, regardless of color,what hole you prefer it in, or what ward you live in. and another idea: since when is it wrong to tell somebody NO? enough of all the community ass-kissing. maybe if the "community" knew how to act like human beings there wouldnt be so many problems in the first place. to the no time on the job wonder bitching about old-timers, give it some time kid. a couple of b.s. cr numbers, a lawsuit, and a no balls phone call supervisor sticking it in your ass equals you being a salty dog in no time. sorry have to go now....time to get another event number for wiping my ass on hot spot #2 on directed primary mission #6 in zone #4 while in the level #2 doc.
To truly catch as many felonies on camera as possible, the City needs to add 51 cameras. One in each Alderman's office and one in the Mayoral Office.
You want to talk about nonstop action, that would do the trick.
Just think about the envelopes of cash being hushed around to attempt to lure the Olympics to Chicago.
DAMN THAT SUCKS LOOKS LIKE I AM GOING TO HAVE TO IMPROVISE AND STICK MY LIGHTED FLASHLIGHT OUT THE WINDOW AND SCREAM OUT "HEY PULL OVER" FROM NOW ON
Can you explain a little more specifically your objection to SB 1166?

Whatever. You aren't getting a pension!
The 280 cameras is only one reason why the city has no money.
Another reason is the "cradle-to-grave" welfare state mentality. An example of this: A fire kills a woman in 025. Today the CFD is instructed by the City to knock on doors in the neighborhood and give away free smoke detectors. (were they donated by businesses?)Doubt it!
Hey CFD stop in 025 and leave a few of those at the front desk for me will you. I have a vacation home that can use a few new smoke detectors.
Instead of "sanctuary city" zone lets make Chicago "illegal immigrant free zone."
I mean the city wants to do everything for everybody and from an economic viewpoint it can't! Stop the nonsense, let citizens wipe their own asses once in a while! Civilization will survive..I mean the mayor wasn't there to wipe the asses of the early colonists at Plymouth rock!
I used to be a workin copper. Now I just answer my calls and thats it. I dont bum rap the job but I dont boast about it either.
I like how the bosses tell coppers like me that Im bringing the rest of the coppers down. Too damn funny. Maybe the morale and so forth on this job is in the crapper because we are now paying for all the lies and corruption from yesteryear. Maybe its the 4 years without a raise. Maybe its the way our benefits keep going away from us and to the useless.
Non the less. I get paid a decent salary to drive around and answer calls. If you want more. Treat me better. I for one log and document every and all conversations with the bosses. It will come in handy at law suit time! Be safe boys n girls.

To the person who wrote aginst the American Knights St. Pats party I would like to respond. You obviously know nothing about bikers, especially bikers who are also law enforcement members. I have been in a club for 10 years now, we are also law enforcement. I have watched bikers do many charitable events to help many people. They raise money for children with brain tumors, toys for children at Christmas time, and funds to support families of law enforncement officers who have lost their lives both in the line of duty and not. It is true that most of the bikers at this party drove their cars, however there were about 25 or 30 bikes there as well, but in late March the wheather is not exactly predicable. I have one question for you, if this party was such a joke, and bikers are so fake, why were you their in the first place?
God Bless our Brass....Starks on the 9pm news..."We can not rule out if the killer knew the offender." I think you meant to say victim...Let the bright ones show us the way.....God help us all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and so...whose name was on the final order to get the additional squad car cameras (Daley, Cline, Williams, Huberman?)....when it came time to decide the priority between new and additional PDT's, or in car cameras, precisely who made the decision, and why?

good question??? because one of my friends is unfortunately a member... I will NEVER make that mistake again... bunch of losers... now go cook up some meth poser!
Why do our police facilities not have smoke or carbon monoxide detectors? Are they exempt from the City Ordinance?
to: 9:09 pm.....excellent observation...does anyone think that the police brass actually knows what's going on, are competent enough to comprehend facts and evidence, and then to comment publicly? ......Cline's appointments for exempt positions reflect DIRECTLY on his intelligence, competence, and professionalism; IF he was forced (by City Hall) to appoint anyone to an exempt position (that did not deserve it), he should have resisted it and resigned immediately; if he appointed, on his own, some bonehead, based on political or familial connections, he should resign...("you are either the real police, or you are not")....
Haven't had a PDT in our car since June 2006!
016 cameras don't function sometimes and don't know why!
The company with the contract can't keep up with software and hardware breakdowns!
hahahaha more cameras????
how about a new computer or A computer???
You want to put a camera in my squad car, fine. Guess what, Joe Q. Public? NO MORE BREAKS!!! You want a pass, Mr. "I Have Job" Matricula License??? Too damn bad. You and I are on camera and I'm playing it by the book...here's your TVB. You say out loud, "Honest office, I got a bag of weed on me"...sorry Joe, you gots to go. Your honesty is now recorded and doesn't buy you a break anymore. When the shyte hits the fan and I can't respond b/c I'm in the station on some b.s. that I could have left out there, I'll just say "Sorry, it was on camera...RD for an 1811, please".
To several of the above:
AR 15's and shotguns in squad cars, the Daley, Cline and CW will never go for that. It is cheaper to bury cops than to arm them, or defend them.
The Sears Tower is a target and remember that the so called "Dirty Bomber" in custody now is a Chicago gangbanger. It is department policy that, "It is no practical to train individual officers to respond to a terrorist attack." It is cheaper to bury cops than to train them.
The Federal Homeland Security money given to Chicago I bet came in the front door and went out the back to pay for flower pots and hired trucks. I would love to have the Feds come in and audit the books with inditements to follow.
There was a time when this job, the benefits and the morale were good, even great. We can only hope that Daley gets indited and convicted, Cline leaves A.S.A.P, and CW gets shown up for the (fill-in-the-blank)he is and we get some really good people to replace them. What a dream.

I saw Starks on TV last night also. Laughed my ass off when I heard that. At least his bluetooth wasn't in his ear this time. I just love that blue light flashing. Now, kees me you fool!!!

be polite, and bust the Fireman, Politicians, city workers, cop kids-and people in the machine, and say sorry- Camera.
This Department can't even manage their own people internally so God knows they can't manage the citizens of Chicago either. What a joke!
Love the job, hate the Department.
Do we even have 280 cars that run to put the cameras in? Most of the departments cars are in sad shape. Motor mant. does a sh*t job on fixing anything.
BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU!
In an article in The Reader's Digest (Oct. 2001), Daley tells of how he is trying to make this city like London. Where there are cameras everywhere and not just following your every move. They will have automatic face recognition technology to alert the watchers of the whereabouts of wanted persons, terrorists and sex offenders.
With the cameras in cars, young, probably old coppers too, will go to hot calls with their emergency lights off. Pursuits, if there are any will have cars trying to get around without lights. The supervisors will have to gather the videos, and your video will not only rat you out, it will rat out everyone there. God help you in any department vehicle crash.
A.S.A.s will want to review the videos, no video-no felony. What a nightmare it will be to sort, review, analyze and archive all this. Watch for a whole lot of young house mice coppers try to get the job of Video Technician.
I hear that fat ass Egan was in charge of this whole project. Her and that pompous ass Sadowski where hand in hand walking along the road of nonsense while putting this together. The department has not met two more kiss ass fools than those two. Be careful knowing those two the camera probably has a function to tape conversations in the car and video you reading your paper and having a cup of coffee.
THE CAMERAS ARE ALWAYS ON!!!!!!!!
The cameras in the cars are ALWAYS running!! I'm not sure if they they on when the car is started.
However, when the lightbar is activated thats when the sound is activated.
I was just thinking, it would be really tough to figure out just who the stupidest prick on the CPD is. After reading SCC today, I do have a few more clues. Thanks.
How about instead of getting AR-15's and MP5 machine guns, and shotguns, we get some really good stuff for the new kids to use. We need better fire-power than the criminals, not equal. How about some Flame-Throwers, morters, and some belt-fed machineguns for a start. If dat don't work, maybe we can rig the new Dept. Helecopter, [if we can find it] to fire Napalm. Yeah, what else up doe?
The cameras suck! We got the digital ones that download when we go past a hot spot. Any time you activate your lights the camera turns on however it records 2 minutes before you actually turned your lights on and 30 seconds after you shut them off. We also have these high tech microphones that could pick up a mouse fart. All our supervisors watch them (the recordings) from their office. We hear them shuck in up after every stop. They Monday morning quaterback every stop. These f*&^ing JO'S don't have one in their cars. The cameras suck! Don't believe the hype that they save you more than they hurt you. I had one incidet that went my way on the video and still got screwed. Productivity will drop. They suck and everyone I know thinks they suck!!! NW Burb COP!

Are you talking about old k> sadowski from 811 the lazy fat slob! now he wants everyone else to work? typical do as i say not as i do!
Good news! Many departments in Florida and Arizona accept lateral transfers from CPD. It might be hot as hell down there in the summer but a little sherriff's department in Podunk, FLA never looked so good...Fu*k this city!!!
Guys.... I work in 016. You can turn the camera off. It has an on / off button. I never turn it on. If you trun the whole camera on, which it always is, then when you activate your blue lights it records to the hard drive. If the system is on, then it is on a record loop, but you have to turn it on just like your computer. You needed to push the button to turn it on to get it to work.
As far as inspectors go, they don't give a shit about the camera. Not yet at least. It's not a mover for them. Anyone that says different is talking out of their ass.
I also remember when we had shotgus in the car. Coppers didn't know how to take care of them. The guy that said they used them for ashtrays is right.
I wouldn't give half the cops on this job shit either. Look at the sqaud cars.
So next time your in the squad car bitching, as you carve up the wheel with your really cool knife look at your dumb ass partner who is fucking up the PDT and ask him why the department doesn't give you any new weapons or the new PDT. You probably don't fucking deserve it.
I'm going to put some of the larger versions on the outside of the video box before my shift.

The Florida and Arizona PD's also require a lie detector test... do you really think you could pass ?
Pass a lie detector test? Without a problem. You mean to tell me you couldn't? Too bad. Must suck to be you. Remember that post when you ask why no one treats coppers like adults. I go home each and every night confident that no one from the department has a file on their desk with my name on it, other than tuition reimbursment.
