Illegal Parking

Hopefully this uploads properly:



This was filmed this past weekend in front of St. Anthony's Hospital in the 010 District during the Cinco de Mayo festivities. Notice the parking sign directly about the hood of the Channel 2 News van.

We expect a full expose by Pam Zekman pointing out how the media is completely out of control, parking hither and yon without a care in the world, blocking ambulance loading/unloading zones and endangering the lives of innocent citizens.

Please tell me that if it were an on-duty copper that shot that video, he/she immediately hung the appropriate parking ticket on that van. And it that copper was off-duty, please tell me that a 010th district car was summoned to issue the citation. And if it were just a citizen, please tell me he/she called a beat car out to address this double-standard. Otherwise that video is all for naught in this city that controls the media.

I LOVE it!!! Time to turn the tables on these cock suckers. Don't let up now or anytime soon - keep snapping those pix for any and all infractions; and hang that fuckin' parker! Preferably more than one - there might always be an expired/missing plate, improperly displayed city sticker, etc. And keep submitting them for dissemination so the general public can see what time it is. You wanted to play ball, Chicago media? Game fuckin' on!!!

After the Jennifer Hudson triple homicide in 007, each watch had to sit on the house to protect it from the neighborhood and to make sure no one went inside. The media was parked EVERYWHERE (by this i mean in front of hydrants, in crosswalks). EVERY time we shifted cars and my car had to sit here, the media from channel 5 and 7 would come up to our window and ask "you guys aren't leaving, right?" We would be very polite and say no, we here all night. The people covering this story were petrified of their surroundings. Of course they would go on the air and give the usual story with the "peaceful" residents in prayer behind them.

The best though was when FOX was about to go live and a shootout started on Vincennes about a block away. The news crew ran like hell while we tried to leave. We TRIED because as we left, we got stopped TWICE by media begging us not to leave. We finally left and found numerous shell casings on Vincennes.When we returned to our post, the media wonks were more than happy to see us.

It's funny how useful I was when reality of the street hit. I was a saint to them as a protector. I was alright because I let them park wherever to get a story. But as soon as the vans left, the CPD were a bunch of lazy rulebreakers. I will always remember these same people though because, no matter what they report, how much they NEEDED the CPD at this time. It will never get reported, but they need us to do their job. Be nice if they'd say it

Write it for parking in violation of signs or any damn thing and let them go to the trouble of fighting it. If the media can park in a police only lot, then any other mope can too. (I haven't looked into it, but you could probably get one towed. Wouldn't that be fun?)

Someone should let Pam Zekmen know that since her "Parking Trap" story, illegal parking on LaSalle Drive during rush hour parking, before 9:30 am is worse than every. Pam tried make Officer Sutton look like the bad guy for his enforcement. Now illegal parking is worst than ever thanks to Pam Zekmen. Where are you with your cameras now Pam for your follow up! The CTA thanks you, the mayor thanks you for fewer tickets written, not! But most all the citizens love Pam. Now no messes with them for blocking a lane of traffic before rush hour is over.

You guys miss the point. The media people on the street especially the techs and photographers are not the ones putting the smear campaign on CPD. Blame it on the investigative reporters and management. As a member of the media I agree that those last couple of investigative stories done on CPD were worthless. As a member of the media I agree that officers should get some special perks that regular citizens don't get being that you put your life on the line everyday. Just like clout makes it hard for you guys it does the same for us. It time to be professional and stop this tic for tat bullshit. You complain about the media then go protest their stations in force like you did City Hall. You can't have it both ways-you get angry when good cops and bad cops get lumped together but turn around and lump all media together. Why don't you say because some black/hispanic men gangbang than fuck all black/hispanic men. Paul Meinke helped save an officers life a couple of years ago. Chicago is two steps away from being Iraq. Gangbangers would love to light up cops and media in a heartbeat. All we are is racist cops and racist media to them. Also fellas, while you are quick to bash the media I can't tell you how many tips we have gotten from other officers concerning officers. We have policeman work with us at various TV stations and not once have they every sold any other cops out-they are very dedicated to the department. BUTTTTT-When we pop up on a scene and you wonder how we found out so quickly-???? Be mindful who you have a beer with or who you partner up with. It would shock the hell out of you. Trust me I can name names of the leaks, the districts, and the various areas and start an even bigger scandal-NO JOKE

You can write them either for disobey signs because the signs say “Police Personnel Only” or there is a MCC charge for unauthorized personnel in a city lot. Either one covers it. These are the charges we use when an “unauthorized person” parks in our lot.

Sorry I don’t have the specific charges off hand.

When I went to pay my respects to the late great 1st Dep John Thomas I noticed a big Lexus with vanity plates, and a DRIVER parked on Cicero Ave in a no parking/standing zone. It belonged to none other then his assholyness Fr Phleager. I was praying for my ticketbook to appear. Although I know that ticket would have disappeared like the holy ghost in the system.

Must be nice.

Elderly women raising 1-10 grandchildren on their own while on Soc Sec come to his church and put money they don't have in the collection plate.

He spends it wisely.

Drive yourself.

What ever happened to his buddy Fr Clemons? Why don't you see him in front of every camera available like Fr Assholyness.

The investigative reporters work from that van so they get a ticket. Who is responsible for the ticket? Why should I make it easier for reporters to obtain a story on police? I understand your point but hammering us on such minor stories is hard to accept. Parking scandal for Pam? WTF!

Well now you know what it must feel like to be judged as a whole fool. CPD is blamed as a whole and that is how the media will continue to be blamed. If you really are a member of the media which I doubt, don't post anonymous and maybe when you violate something they will give you a pass, until then judge officers as a whole and pay the price.

Let's see, a citywide crime pattern was put out, district cars were conducting missions in areas where armed robberies occurred. Districts briefed by the detective division. tact teams in affected district working the pattern, crimes reported in neighborhood papers-- yep sure sounds secret to me. maybe the only "special" one here is you. please post your phone number or e-mail address so we can personally notify you of everything going on in the city.

Only in Chicago would there be merit spots for convicted felons. Want a city job? Commit a felony.

Mr Cuckoo:
Doesnt' show up for St. Jude. Doesn't show up at the FOP Police Memorial for our officers who gave their lives in the line of duty.
Shows up at a bunch of felons getting GEDs and all giddy. Unf*ckingbelievable.

I say that video should turn up on Y-tube with a brief verbal,proper explaination as to how can the "MEDIA" report other people's misdeeds when they are committing some misdeeds themselves.Double standard indeed!!!!!!!!

Also fellas, while you are quick to bash the media I can't tell you how many tips we have gotten from other officers concerning officers. We have policeman work with us at various TV stations and not once have they every sold any other cops out-they are very dedicated to the department. BUTTTTT-When we pop up on a scene and you wonder how we found out so quickly-???? Be mindful who you have a beer with or who you partner up with. It would shock the hell out of you. Trust me I can name names of the leaks, the districts, and the various areas and start an even bigger scandal-NO JOKE

************

Wow, thanks for telling the officers what they already know. They never assumed the media was not being tipped off, most are not that clever. Not speaking of all of them as a whole of course.

5/06/2009 03:53:00 PM

ok i like others don't trust you name them! Are you scared?

"If the media is parked in a police lot marked "police only"...how do i write it? It's on private property technically".

This is an easy one!

No Parking, Violation of signs.

If the news van is parked on a corner or within 25 feet of a drive way or alley, there is a parking violation for that too.

You can not park a truck or high profile vehicle within 25 feet of an intersection, alley or drive way. Have you ever tried to exit an alley or drive way and someone has parked a truck there. it blocks your view of traffic approaching that area.

Next time I'm the desk sergeant in a certain district...i'm going to sign out a parking book and write tickets to any media parked illegally. Just one question. If the media is parked in a police lot marked "police only"...how do i write it? It's on private property technically.

Must be a merit Sergeant. Can't even write a parker.
Just tow the vehicle off the lot. You can write a tow case report, can't you?

12:00 pm. Please stay the fuck off the blog!! It's bad enough that you and your co scum workers go out of their way day in and day out to fuck us and lump us all together, but now I have to listen tou your parasitic bullshit on a site I enjoy and like to call our own?
Until you and your fucking scum, liberal , police hating jagoffs decide to not sell newspapers and opening leads on the 10 o'clock news at our expense, I hope you get hammered!!
Don't you dare sit here and tell us how similar it is to get lumped together, it's not even in the same universe asshole!! All media hate the police unless they have a family member in law enforcement.
A policeman shoots a fucking armed, animal gangbanger and you motherfuckers interview some piece of shit off the street who says the police just shot him and planted a gun on him and we are supposed to sympathize with you, GO FUCK YOURSELF. You can't even call him an offender, it's a victim!!
A policemen is involved in a barfight and you fucking people show the footage every fucking newscast until we are blue in the face. I don't condone any of the bullshit, drunken messes this dept. has gotten into, but it infuriates me to see the 20 minute ordeal ,edited to 5 seconds of your portrayal of the story!!
Finally, to the policemen that pump you with information, I am ashamed to wear the same uniform they do. Just b/c they share with cocksuckers like you doesn't mean we all condone it jagoff. As far as I am concerned the way it is given to your and the joke of journalists we have in this town must either be Daley approved or cut to fuck the police at all costs.
Go ahead and sit there and tell us you share the burden we take home when one of us go does in the line of duty!! You only care about the shot of his/her mourning family. Like I said, STAY THE FUCK OFF THE BLOG LIBERAL FUCK!! 99% of coppers hate you fucking parasites myself included!!

I did not shoot the video, but it may be directly across from Holy Tony's Ambulance Entrance. I'd have to check the details. The Cinco Di Mayo encampment is directly behind them, and perhaps as the few seconds of video ends, is that an exempt's black Crown Vic coming into frame?

Today's media has lost their way. They have moved away from the who, what, when, where, why, and how of reporting. They think they are supposed to change the world instead. Well guess what, you are not the only game in town now, you are expendable. Sell your papers and cater your broadcasts to the illiterate, illegal and criminal, that you love soo much. See what it does to your bottom line. Clueless fucks.

She is the ex-wife of Fed Judge James Zagel who was the head of Ill State Police in the 80s. Most recently noteworthy for telling Blago to pay attention to his trial instead of going on a reality show and before that for Family Secrets trial. Great guy who grimaces when reminded he was married to Pam.

i've seen some of the media talking heads dismounting from blue oval cvpi vehicles got up real clean like exempt rides so they can escape proper scrutiny at big scenes... if i catch one it will surely be a ticket and tow... hopefully on a summer night at 3am and it's still 100 degrees out and the bullets are flying thick and fast! you media-clowns better be fast runners or be able to make friends with the mouth breathers you've annointed kings of the city...

They don't care if they fuck up the who, what when, where, why, and how. The socialist agenda comes first. Things are moving towards a government controlled media. The government already owns a car company and some banks. Look at how they fawn over Obama, someone with virtually no experience, they and acorn elected obama.

You guys often park illegally on the job and ticket people who also may be attending a ball game. Why all the hate about an expose on parking illegally for recreational purposes or for media parking illegally on their job?
