Cops as Parents - Again
- A measure that would bump up Chicago's nightly curfew by 30 minutes was advanced Tuesday by a City Council committee after a police official predicted it would help potential young crime victims by reducing their exposure on the street. Proposed by Mayor Richard Daley, the legislation would establish a curfew of 10 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and 11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
Police Committee Chairman Isaac Carothers (29th) expressed similar concerns about overburdened police officers, even as he supported the rollback.
“It may prevent a kid from being a victim. But we really use a lot of police resources when you get involved with curfew. That’s a car that’s off the street….Curfew is very serious. But at the same time, you do have aggravated batteries. You’ve got robberies. You’ve got shootings going on,” he said.
“We have to figure out a way to try to get more police on the street. That will be the most effective tool in trying to deal with — not only curfew, but all the other crimes we deal with every single day.”
So even though aldercreatures recognize we're operating shorthanded and there are dozens of different and more serious crimes that ought to be addressed, they're still going to put this on our plates, manpower be damned.
Unless J-Fed is going to be allowed to gut headquarters, redraw the Districts and clean out the house mouses? Maybe the shortages are about to be solved.

If you can't raise your fucking kid, The police can't do it for you.
If your kid is out there after curfew, it's on your head when Pookie shoots him.
You're a failure as a parent, and I won't try to fix you're many years of 1/2 assed (if we're lucky) parenting.
Parents should be steeply fined for multiple violations.
One minutes bosses want arrests, then they want contact cards. Now, word from the bosses is get curfews over anything else.
Good to know manpower is being diverted from police work to babysitting.
Not to mention these new curfew forms! They used to be cut and dry, be done with it in five minutes. These things will take longer to fill out than case reports!
Count me out.
No guns of any type for anyone,no smoking anywhere,no freedom of speech,especially if u own something,taxed out the ass(the reason we fought England),no control of the ghetto therefore kids cant stay outside to play!
LAND OF THE FREE!
Why would anyone want to live in that f*k'n city.........
Carrothers has limited Police Powers as an Aldercreature.
Perhaps instead of flapping his flabby jowls he could requisition some vans from Fleet management & enforce the Curfew Law himself.
It's all about being proactive & helping your constituents.
Isn't that right Ike?
Pretty soon will be getting school rosters going door to door after curfew and asking the parents "Do you know where your child is?" Then we will be issuing tickets.
Also
Mayor Daley has also suggested that ticket writing be an Olympic event......You have from now till 2016 to qualify for your gold medal.
WILL YOU ALL JUST SKIP THE CURFEWS???
Remember, he/she told you they were exercising their constitutional right to gather.
There's a reason the curfew form went from a 1/2 page to a full page. That is to STICK IT UP YOUR ASS when BooBoo's mother sees you in federal court for violating his rights.
Sorry no time for that, to busy going for that extra coffee! you have taken everything from the police richie, hey mayor maybe you could get your detail and burkes huge detail to do some curfew enforcement now that would be leadership!
realign the beats... its really simple. and now we can do it, daily has the fall guy for rev's and political creatures to do it. j-fed has nothing to lose.
Armed babysitters. Is there a title code for that?
Wow... Carothers says this and then Voila 50 more recruits at the academy starting next month. Doesn't that make Carothers look powerful? Carothers makes this statement with perfect timing. Gimme a break. He could care less.
Who cares what the bosses want. Stop being puppets and do what you want. What's the worst thing they could do to you? Put you in uniform in a beat car?
Soon we will be accused of racially profiling curfews and then the fun begins.
Hold yourself down on a curfew, let the backlog pile up!
MANPOWER - That is the problem!
How does the masterminds of this city, county and state expect us to cover all of the bars, catch and prosecute these smokers. We
cant let them get away with smoking. Why, because, smoking warms up the climate, hence GLOBAL WARMING. We need to find and fine these offenders. Take their money and give it to the masterminds so they will have something to steal for Christmas because it is only 11 months away. Hell, if you can't steal taxpayers money what is the sense of being a politician.
Keep up the good word, Blago, Rezko and Obama would be proud.
As a house mouse I'm deeply offended, pass the cheese please.
Redraw the districts??
Thanks, SCC, that will be great for the north and southwest sides.
The 16th and 22nd Districts will be reduced to one beat.
Meanwhile, the 5th, 7th, and 15th Districts will each have 432 beats.
You guys are taking the wrong approach on this one. You guys need to view this as a TOOL to help you make arrests. Violating curfew is a valid Terry v. Ohio stop---it is probable cause for you to investigate further crime. You guys should look it is a great opportunity to to stop, detain, search and arrest. It is probable cause. It's the broken windows theory of crime prevention.

good who gives a shit about those districts, or the scum who live there
I was listening to zone 10 and heard a call that mamma calls the police 'cause her 16 y/o son refuses to go to school. If pookie doesn't want to go to school, you know he gonna be out late at night hangin in the hood.
How about charging mom and dad each time you bring home the kid...another form of revenue for the city. Just keep on issuing tickets and when they don't pay put the yellow boot on pookie, jr.

Ok how about you do it!I want to stop,take a shit,get coffee,relax and read the paper you do the rest more hair gel please dumbass!
Daley wants more revenue for the olympics thats all. now he found another way to do it. it will never end with him.
what's a 'curfew'?
Cruthers needs no po'leese powers. he's gets his from the sgt thug he brings along wiff'him.
yeah, let's do this curfew forms. They are so long (longer than a case report like someone else said) that if you do two, one at 2200 and one at 2300, it will prevent you from getting that 2345 hr. domestic with the offender on scene that the dispatchers love to give us!

AMEN BROTHER!!!
Do what the boss man says. Do not cut corners. if it takes overtime to find pookies play mama so what. great part time job, don't you think?
I led our district in curfews for three straight years. No big deal, I knew where the kids hung out.
Then they made the shit complicated, several years ago, so I never wrote one again. Not one. Now it looks like the process is even more complicated. Forget about it. Y'AINT GETTIN SHIDT.
I have a new neickname for Jody, after the swiping directive:
JODY "VICE"

......Thank you Andy of Mayberry
Unfortunately, the underage gangbangers do not have parents that will EVER pay the fines. No lesson taught there! Get the white kid in Mt. Greenwood or Sauganash, and they will never be out after curfew again! Maybe they should issue warrants for child neglect after the third curfew. That is the only way to make these ghetto rat parents act like parents.
