How's My Driving?
What?
- OT: How about the new order coming out about the 'How's my Driving, call......' stickers for the squad cars. Who's brilliant idea was this. Just another way to get the police haters to make another beef on a officer. Time to play fireman and sit in a corner until a call comes in.
If someone actually affixes these to cars, we're going to have a problem. Someone is actually going to call police officers in off the street to drop paper on this nonsense? Without affidavits? Anonymous complaints via a posted phone number?
Someone please tell us this is someone yanking our chain. Because it's too ridiculous to actually be true. Right? Right???

It's true! The most fucked up part of the order is they, as of now, plan to issue a cr # for each call, pending the inv.
Nothing a can of WD-40 cant take care of......we need to think outside of the box! 1-can should be good for at least 5 to 10 stickers.
Daley foresees some kind of retro check, so this is an effort to get it back before it's spent, so he can spend it.
I recall some higher up, sying this idea about a week ago
Da ship ain't coming up anytime soon fellas!!!!!!!
Can I get another event number?
Today...... Out of thin blue air I made up 2 contact cards! Do I need an event number for that????
I dont care anymore, unless i here my address...I don't care anymore. If any of you do you are so f'n dumb!!! I'm not afraid of any bull$#!), but at the same time...let them suffer, let all these yuppies suffer. I AM DONE!!!!!!
since when has anything this departmrnt does been too rediculess? It was read at rollcall. When will you realize you are nothing but an armed clerk. God forbid everyone calls in sick at the same time
Time for the unions to step up and protest the enormous stupidity that is overwhelming our department.
Every call outside of a 10-1 needs to be handled with the idea of avoiding driving beefs. Give these jerk-offs excatly what they want. A real slowdown.
don't ye mean hows me driving mate? tis talk like a pirate day.

Can u please take those movie clips off the main page!!! It's taking forever for your main page to load b/c it loads and readies those movies each time. It's killing me. Can u just put the links there instead?
OH MY GOD!
This HAS to be a gag... only we're not remotely amused in the slightest.
This shit is way beyond crazy. If these buffoons want to put a sticker on the squads how about "This vehicle subject to make sudden stops/turns, stay back 500ft" Or "Emergency Vehicle, DO NOT FOLLOW" Have the above message displayed in English, Spanish & Polish. For more fun put front & rear facing plate readers on the squads... anybody get too close *ding* they get a love letter from the stuttering shit-stick to cough up $200.00
We think A/2 & A/4 should be the pilot areas for this since the overwhelming majority of active non-contributors (oxymoron of the year) have their feeding & mating grounds in these locations... Let them pay some freight for shorty's mental masturbation over the 'lympics.
This is just another "fuck da Po-leece" from j-fart... like some police hating jags need extra encouragement.
It also sounds like another possible end run around the complaint process. The powers that be are upset because beefs are WAY DOWN! Policemen are doing an EXCELLENT job nowadays of minimizing their exposure to the disciplinary process and potential financial harm. Burst & Co. need some sacrifices in order to justify their existence... To that, the Policeman says "ha-ha, fuck you & the 1 wheel buggy your mama pushed you in."
Get your hands out of our pockets you miserable, unloved bastards!
OT: Great job by all the suburban depts today...say what ya want bout burb cops,but when the shit hits the fan they do organize and get the job done
I'm guessing when somebody calls that number, then they'll check the GPS to see where/how you were driving.............
Oh...Oh...this opens the door for other bumper stickers on squad cars. Let's me see... How about.."THIS IS NOT A TAXI"..."YOU HATE US UNTIL YOU NEED US"..."NO, WE CAN"T RAISE YOUR CHILDREN"..."EVERYTHING WILL BE OK, UNTIL WE SHOW UP"...."911 IS A JOKE"..."CRUIS'N TO DO BRUISE'N"...."WE SPEED UP FOR HAND-WAIVERS"...."DRIVER CANNOT MAKE CHANGE"....and so on. Actually, couple this with GPS and voila' here's your (BLANK) days for speeding and (BLANK) days for false report, because our data says you did and you say you didn't on your TO-FROM. Why would anyone, and I mean anyone, do anything beyond going through the motions for this company? All you Area Mission, MSF, TRU, TACT., ETC...will wise up when this B.S. begins to attach. Or should I say: "what a tremendous idea and improvement to our department." This ranks up there with CAPS for freeing the officers to use their initiative and be proactive....NOT!
MASTERS & HAMILTON THE TAKE HOME CAR GUYS
HOW IS MY DRIVING? TO COMPLAIN CALL:1-800-GO FUCK YOURSELF
This is probably the dumbist idea yet, and it has some non-police bureaucrat's name on it. We have spies and should find out who's idea this is.
Because the result will be more inactivity, you don't like my driving, OK, I just will not drive. You pick your spot, and drive there, you get a call you go there, no faster than the speed limit, stop a full three seconds at the stop signs, and the last on to start off when the light turns green.
Shortshanks will love this, because it will save all that gas money. The citizens wil say, it took you long enough.
He won't get cals about bad driving, except maybe obstructing traffic. He will get calls about slow responses, and will the manpower shortage, it will be less jobs handled per car per tour.
Fine with me; it just reinforces my new and safe do-little-or-nothing strategy of policing.
C'mon SCC, I've seen you drive...
How about the unmarked cars? How about the exempts' cars? How about people call with made up m plates or outside numbers to overwhelm the "investigators?" How will they stop citizens from that?
Put a DUMP DALEY Bumper sticker over it. Really...whoever came up with this idea is beyond the worst type of asshole ever.
Are they trying to make us do less now? This has to be a joke.
OT: How about the new order coming out about the 'How's my Language, call......' stickers for the back of our uniform shirts!
Off the topic: This SOS scandal is gearing up. Just saw these four pukes on the news. With their guilty pleas, this is only the beginning. This scandal is going to be bigger than anyone ever expected. Oh and by the way if you still think CPD is not under a federal decree, WAKE UP!
My mom used to tell me that when she and her old biddy friends would go out for lunch, if they ever saw a police car, one of them would start complaining about SOMETHING about his driving.
"Look at that! If WE ever drove like that, he'd probably give us a ticket!". Invariably, they'd end up looking at my mom in some accusatory way, knowing her son was the Police.
I told her that the next time they said something like that, she should tell them, "my son says that there is a gang of drunken and diseased rapists in the area that are beating and raping senior citizens and that if the police always drive around with their lights and siren on, we'll never be able to catch them!"
Whenever I saw the old biddy patrol after that, they always asked me if we had caught the rapists yet and how they were going to call the police if they ever saw them around.
It doesn't always take a lot of work to get the good people to support us. But it can also take just a few seconds for them to turn on us, as well.
Drive Safe and Stay Safe out there!
i agree with the stickers. some of you guys drive around without lights or sirens on -like a person has a gun or there is a robbery taking place just around the corner! and i am also tired of seeing you run redlights lights like you are trying to get to a domestic or something. since most all people love the police, and there is no road rage at all, no one would ever make a false complaint. you people are all crazy!
i think they should have a stickers with the officers names and home phone numbers on them so we could call the officer to wish him well and tell him how great of a job he is doing, maybe put the officers family info on there too.
another great idea is the officer should not get a payckeck from the city. the officer should go door to door in the area they work and simply ask for a donation based on how well that good citizen feels the po is doing. it would promote great communications between joe citizen and officer friendly. of course this would be done on the officers rdo as to not waste tax payers money.
in all these are solid ideas! I second the vote on ALL counts!
-The Mayor
Whoa.....Now I REALLY need a PEPSI!!!!!
They already are talking about having officers pay red light camera tickets for running red lights. They'll check to see if you're going to a 1-a job, if not, pay up.
im not driving anymore! i do the paper & code out any job, and drop anchor every 20 mins for 20mins!
Gas,Grass,or Ass...Nobody rides for free
Without affidavits? Anonymous complaints via a posted phone number?
Sounds just like the City Inspector General
they did the same bull-shit on the dept of revenue vans, everyones got a beef with the revenue people, and the calls came in, and we were questioned about it,, but as usual after awhile it calms down its just more shit that some asshole thinks is a good idea..all this does is keeps somebody answering phones,, just a bunch of cry-babies.....
A classic example of policy being established by a FEEB that NEVER patrolled the streets in a beat car and has no idea about doing so, day in, day out, but yet, he is in charge of our department.
I agree with WD-40. Easy, clean and fast. Fuck you J-FEEB and your bunch of no talent, ineffective, dim-witted FEDS.
NEVER TRUST A FED! AND GO RIO!
The only bumper sticker that a few of us were discussing are the same verbage that the squad cars in NY city have...$10.000 reward for shooting a police officer with a phone number.
OMG!
Another great idea by the imbeciles at the top. How many complaints will be generated for responding to a scene with lights and siren off so the bad guy doesn't take off before you get there. This has to a bad dream. It can't possibly be true. I guess a bumper sticker on a community police car in Highland Park would be appropriate, but the war torn areas of Chicago forgetaboutit.
Every call outside of a 10-1 needs to be handled with the idea of avoiding driving beefs. Give these jerk-offs excatly what they want. A real slowdown.

Crimefile has a point. But, your actual driving skills or behavior will have nothing to do with the calls they will be getting.
When administration comes up with a stupid idea like this, then they should suffer for it. And that means "supporting the resistance". If they want to focus on your driving skills rather than crime, then give it to them. Let them be inundated with so many calls that they have to see the error of their ways. Unfortunately, that's the only way to reach these morons. They don't have the intelligence, evidenced by this new driving campaign, to realize that they are going to be up to their asses in phone calls from shitheads day and night. It's not on the officers, it will all become a nightmare that will suck the resources of the front line with bullshit. When the dispatchers realize they won't be able to take their naps anymore, they'll complain and this will all go away.
This is obviously a corporate model of thinking. The Chicago Police Department is not a corporation and should not be subject to all the latest feel good psychological programs like stakeholder policies, mission statements, diversity campaigns, thinking outside the box workshops, team thinking, etc. It doesn't work in the corporations and it certainly won't work here.
This department has lost it's identity. And we all know why and who is to blame. I'm sure Daley knew exactly what he was doing when he hired Weis. Exactly.
Keep an eye on your rear view mirror, see someone on a cel phone pull them over and cite them for the cel phone violation, assume they are on the phone about you
This is a reasonable request for officers to drive safely. They have a obligation to protect the residents of this city and driving safely is a serious issue for some officers. Superintendent Weiss has our best interest in mind. Give the program a chance. I support this incentive.
This is Obama's idea. He likes stickers. He's the one that sponsored the legislation that puts the stickers on the traffic tickets.
People can already call and complain about perceived issues with police driving habits. How is this going to make it any worse?
Half the commerical vehicles on the road have these kind of signs on them and it has not been a big issue.
It does seem kind of silly,
Think this would work here?

"How's My Driving? Call (312)555-5555"
On a CPD emergency vehicle? INFUCKINCREDIBLE! The brain surgeons strike again!
In no particular order, my personal favorite bumper stickers seen on CPD vehicles over the years:
"DRIVER DOES NOT CARRY CASH" (Squadrol in 011)
"ESCAPE TO WISCONSIN" (Matter of fact, we're now off to Madison)
"DIAL A BEATING: 9-1-1"
"NICE PEOPLE SWALLOW" (next to "Mean People Suck" sticker)
"GAS, GRASS OR ASS"
"TOKE AND GET NAKED"
Time to break out the
"teach a cops a lesson, just don't call"
bumper sticker I got years ago form an old timer and cover mine up. He is still working, wonder if he has any left.....
I just don't even know what to say anymore. It's all such a fucking big joke. What the hell happened to this department?

Good point - put 'em on the take home cars w/o M plates ["front line cars"].
Let the gangs know where the bosses live so they can invade those homes, steal their guns/dough and screw their pooch.
All that said though, how many cars, besides muni vehicles, have no-smoking stickers on the windshields and E-85 stickers by the gas fillers?
The thugs know a LOT more than you give them credit for.
My old partner had an informant that had been pretty productive over a couple of years shock the shit out of her a few months back. He called for a meet to pass along info on a check cashing scheme at a currancy exchange. When my partner chided him for the delay in relaying the info, he replied that he would have told her last week when he saw her at the hotel near OHARE, but didn't want to bother her and her friend.
Hint - the partner is married and lives in MT. Greenwood.
Long term thugs don't miss much, or they wouldn't make it as long term thugs. Yes, I say be SURE to sticker the Boss cars, let them sample the fun of not being anonymous.
Knee jerk reaction to the road rage incident yesterday? It ain't happenin' kiddies. I'll believe it when the sticker is on the bumper of the car. More rumors....
Oh sure,yeah right...I believe it,lol.
What's next you're going to tell me someone who hasn't attended our academy is insulting all of us and wearing our uniform?
This would never happen,they'd never allow it,would they? lol
This can't be true warriors. Remember they have your back, lol.
hows my driving mr john q citizen, dial 1-800-eat-shit..... can we also put a "we don't do donuts" sticker back their too, i'm getting sick of the donut jokes.....

GET CABLE OR DSL!!! Wake up rip-van-winkle! This is 2009, and since you are using 19th century technology, TOO BAD!!!
silly shit from the folks who spend their whole career inside one building or another....well those stickers will go away faster than the little blue "no smoking in vehicle" stickers that were affixed inside on the front windshield. hahaha I have to laugh at the downtown thinktank do nothings or I would be enraged every time I come to work. you win, I will not do lights and siren or disobey any traffic signals except for 10 1 situation. Gps that! Now quasi retired on duty.
I will call in a compliment every time I see a police car.
LOL, what a joke this dept. and city have become. Nobody tells the powers in charge that their brain stem ideas are S T U P I D. The bosses have all become "YES" men.
"Chicago Police Safe Drivers. How can I help you?"
"Yeh, look here. I wants to wepot da office ain't wearin' no seat belts and just drove through da stop light at Jaxson and Pulaski on the wong side."
"Say what?"
These citizens complain about EVERYTHING that does not go their way. Let them put bumper stickers on each car! This is what's going to happen:
"2233-Domestic battery at 103rd and Pulaski"
"Squad-i'm coming from a ways at 95th and Western..."
-Adjusting Driver's seat for comfort.
-Adjusting air-conditioning
-Using winshield washers to clean windshield
-After I am comfortable, I proceed, Lights and sirens, at 30 MPH., and stopping at every stop light/sign/old lady crossing the street.
"2233-They are calling back. Now It's a person with a gun. The boyfriend just pulled out a gun"
"Squad, I'm enroute. 10-4"
-Parade-wave to all citizens enroute to the domestic battery.
-Entertain all Hand Wavers enroute
-Arrive at Domestic Battery, which is now a 0110...
You have only 4 options in this scenario:
1. Take the 20 CRs that you were driving too reckless
2. Take the CR that it took you too long to arrive at the domestic
3. Take any combination of 1 and 2
4. Take 1 and 2 PLUS the IAD investigation on how it is now YOUR FAULT that the poor baby-mama of 5 kids who was ging back to school to complete her GED who knew her boyfriend sold drugs and had guns, and an order of protection and 13 domestic battery arrests-which she dropped the charges on each one- ended up getting killed...PLUS a wrongful death lawsuit to ice the cake.
Seems we can't win under these conditions. Half of me think they are doing this to make us all retire early, quit, or get fired...The FOP is doing NOTHING. I see they raised their monthly take out of our salaries!!
All Assholes and Pussies
Remember, pussies and assholes get FUCKED!
whats next? a governor on the engine so we cant go over 30? a ''kill switch'' that shuts off our motor in the watch commander s office? a button that flips over another steering wheel on the passenger side...like in the james bond movie? how about a big sticker SCY? stop crying yuppie.dear sirs, when you re getting your ass kicked for running your mouth...do you want me to arrive 1 minute early or 1 minute later? would you care to comment on my driving then?
does da mare's car get one too?
Maybe they should stick a bumper sticker on all the exempts' cars:
How is my Leading?
Your organization is terrible. Leaders should set examples. Your leaders set standards that they themselves do not follow.
Professionals? Amateurs! No, much worse than amateurs - Posers.
is CFD gonna get the stickers too?
I get it now! We should obey every law going to any any jobs except a 10-1 or coppers family that needs help! Lights sirens on Check,obeying every law check! Nothing like making the taxpayers wait longer! What kind of idiot thinks this shit up??
How's my driving. Perfect. Who needs to look for a better job? My friends who have REAL JOBS hide all day from their boss or work on the their computer game score. And now some boss wants to implement this new sticker? I say please do so. I'll be more than happy to read the paper, or do homework until a call is assigned. Then don't worry. I'll be sure to drive in a timely manner to the call. And with a smile on my face I'll write the paper, had the victim his/her report and say have a nice day.
Why don't they install meters and we taxi the citizens around too.. less the tips of course. What a beautiful world we dream in?
1-800-fuck you
My sticker says
how am I driving?
1-800- masters
This has to be a joke!!! If so, it's hysterical. Let's see, probably 40% of the animals in the city have no, suspended, or revoked licenses. The powers that be are now going to give them the opportunity to make a complaint against the police for poor driving habits. Nice.
I read the order yesterday. Says its non-disciplinary but each "allegation" will be investigated. I wonder if it will be a paper report like the verbal abuse one. These are the same citizens who don't think you should kill threatening animals. I am sure they think there is never a reason to go through a light, stop sign or drive fast.
All I need to hear is about one single beef handed out for driving.After that unless it's a 10-1 my blue lights will NEVER EVER get activated again!!!!!!! They can send "1A" jobs all day (unless it's trouble at my coffee spot) and well, Babies momma will be in real sad shape by the time I arrive because I don't want a CR# for my driving...This place is getting more silly by the day!!
Too bad no one is going to be close enough to my cruiser to record this phone number.
All the more reason for me to go through the motions, BELOW the speed limit.
Dont like my driving? Dial
1-800- FUCK YOU
How about the sticker... How's my driving? Call 1-800- eat shit.
No no no, this is a great way to raise revenue.
See, when they call the number, they'll take down the car number, and ask "Sir/Ma'am, are you driving now?" When they say "yes", boom, cell phone ticket.
Nail the copper and the caller. Brilliant!
When this happens, just stop working. Remember to take your time and obey all traffic laws and to always find legal parking.
If you are stupid enough to still be doing anything proactive for this department, this needs to be a wake up call for you.
They truly don't want you to do anything any more. Don't question illegal aliens, don't look too closely at reverends and their "flocks", don't investigate aldermen, don't put hands on criminals.
We are here to be abused by the criminals. You can't get a felony charge on someone who will punch a cop in the face, but they can beef on your driving.
Just stop working right now. It's the only intelligent thing to do. We took an oath, but they don't want us to live by it. Words such as honor, duty, service and sacrifice mean nothing to them.
Just stop working right now. If you don't, it will be too late to get things right again. If you don't give it to them on this one, you will be part of the process of destroying law enforcement in this city.
They are desperate to get the numbers down, and they give us this shit? Give it back to them with what they give us to work with. By the book on driving, parking and enforcement.
Good I want to report all the damn new people I have had to work with that tap the fuckin gas pedal non fuckin stop. Start stop start stop start stop all night long and 80 mph going no where.
I blame their FTO's for that.
I just won't drive. I'll take nice walks in the park and walk the beat talking to the good citizens. CTA checks, personals and lunch, with travel time, will fill the remainder of the shift.
They're making this job easier every day.
FUCK DA MAYOR
Does the 'me too" clause the firemen have with us also require their vehicles to dislpay this sticker?
hows my driving? call 311
i pull to the right for siren & lights......
no idling allowed,turn vehicle off when not in gear.....
these all seem like commissioner mike "i'm so good looking" picardi rules.
after all, he is the boss of fleet again, he needs new ideas to support his 150k a year gig.

Coming soon to Chicago...
Published: Saturday, September 19, 2009 at 3:15 a.m.
The mayor of one Upstate city is defending her decision to tell officers not to chase on foot suspects who run from them.
In a memo dated Sept. 2, Wellford Mayor Sallie Peake wrote: "As of this date, there are to be no more foot chases when a suspect runs. I do not want anyone chasing after any suspects whatsoever."
Reached at City Hall on Friday, Peake said Wellford officers were getting injured too frequently while chasing suspects on foot, costing the taxpayers money in worker's compensation claims. She also said officers are not supposed to chase suspects in vehicles either.
"I said what I meant, and I meant what I said," Peake said. "…And I will not change for you or no one else."
I know a certain Sgt. I will be calling on he's a jagoff, handouts cr numbers to working po's and says it's not his doing, so u know he's in 007
Don't bitch, have fun with it. Have everyone on the watch call in and complain about the bosses driving. It will all just go away.
how is my driving? 1-800-GET-A.J.O.B
Sorry OT but had to comment...
Does anyone know what the f*ck is going on a HQ? A construction company is redoing the f*ck up by walsh construction when they originally built the building because water would pool by the west entrance. The new company has poured the concrete and has torn it up not once, not twice, but THREE F*CKING TIMES now and it's still not finished. This is insane and exactly why we should not get the olympics. Pitch the concrete towards the street morons.
This shit is way beyond crazy. If these buffoons want to put a sticker on the squads how about "This vehicle subject to make sudden stops/turns, stay back 500ft" Or "Emergency Vehicle, DO NOT FOLLOW" Have the above message displayed in
I WAS THINKIN MORE ALONG THE LINES OF: DONT LIKE MY DRIVING? CALL 1-800-GO-FUCK-YOURSELF. OR HOW BOUT A CHALKIE BUMPERSTICKER? STOP POLICE BRUTALITY?
plan to issue a cr # for each call, pending the inv.
BULLSHIT !!!!
Will the Fake boss weasel have one on his car? Will he have one on his motorcycle with out of sate plates? If he does we should all call in on him.

Its true. They are creating a new unit to follow up on the complaints. It will have a Commander (RW), a Lt (EG), a Sgt, (AZ) and 5 Detectives and 10 PO's assigned to it. It is called the Driving Unit of Integrity or DUI.
It's hard getting from one job to another or just traveling to a lunch location without coming across a hand waiver or an accident.

OT: It's getting fucking ridiculous the manpower shortage we're experiencing here. Three incidents this last week for officers in my district we've had response times over 30 minutes. When the FUCK is this department going to have another written exam?! Or, better yet, hire a few more people from the 2006 (which is near its end by the way. No way it extends more than a year without calling back people who previously failed a portion of the app. process).
I don't know how the hell we're going to manage in the upcoming years without new recruits and more people leaving than are being replaced.
Get on it already. Jesus, we're all suffering here; and so are the people we're supposed to be protecting.
I AM NOT WORRIED ITS GOING TO BE KIND OF HARD TO SEE THAT BUMPER STICKER WHEN MY SQUAD CAR IS BACKED UP TO THE WALL ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE DISTRICT FOR THE ENTIRE TOUR
How's my driving?

OT: did the article about the 911 dispatcher screw up are own codes. In the article the press mentions our code of 10-1. In the past 3 days there have been at least 2calls for 10-1's in the 014 district. When everyone shows up looking for the PO in trouble none can be found. Will there be more of these imaginary calls costing precious time if a true call comes out?
Well that goes along with the already established, though not yet created bumper stickers:
"How's my Drinking?, "How's my Lawn Look?" or How's just-about anything-that-people-consider-their-private-lives going?"
Face the facts, all of our cars have GPS that can monitor the speed, direction and every movement our vehicle makes. So if someone makes a beef on us saying "beat 2413 was speeding 50 mph on Western and Devon area" they can look it up verify it.
I for one am in favor of this idea. We are not supposed to drive like assholes yet that is what some people do.
put the sticker on, its the city's car, so who cares. Just respond to your job doing the speed limit. Take an extra 5 mins to get there. Wait at the red lights-thats another 5 mins. Find legal parking. By the time u get there, offender is gone and "victim" no longer wants paper... "Squad vict refused police service"
Hows my driving 1-800-eat-shit. thanks for playn.
Just another way the Department is telling us not to do anything!
The Department took away the gang loitering ord. as well as D.C.
The Department pust more and more bullshit in the way of an Officer trying to make an arrest.
Fuck it, I'm going to listen to the Department, and just answer my radio....nothing more, nothing less...
THIS IS THE NEW ATTEMPT TO GET RID OF OFFICERS SO THAT THEY CAN THEN HIRE NEWER OFFICER AT A CHEAPER RATE. THEN THE CITY WILL CREATE ALL KINDS OF NEW RULES AND POLICIES AND NO NEW OFFICER WILL BE GRANDFATHERED IN MAKING OUR UNION USELESS.

Why didn't Daley think of this!!!???
VIDEO Wellford Mayor Sallie Peake Defends No Chase Policy
(Wellford, SC)—The Mayor of Wellford is defending her policy which bans police officers in that city from chasing suspects. Sallie Peake says the policy also includes vehicle chases along with pursuits on foot.
Still, the best bumper sticker EVER has to the "ESCAPE TO WISCONSIN" sticker that was placed on the inside of the rear door of 23rd District wagon about 10 years ago....
As a citizen, I think this is a stupid idea. I do however think it's annoying when I see you guys flip on your lights to merely avoid sitting at a traffic light in rush-hour traffic. You proceed through the intersection, then continue on at a casual pace, sit in traffic for a few minutes, then decide you should go through this intersection too. I will admit that CPD marked cars do this hardly ever, but the unmarked ones (take-home, exempt, city clout jockies?) do it quite often, as do the suburban cops.
They expect us to stay in line and respect the laws. They install red light cameras to make money off of unsafe intersections. And yet you guys, the ones enforcing the laws, are out doing the same thing you give us tickets for. I support the police, but you guys have to at least see how this can be a little bit aggravating.
i just could't care any less.
we should run with the idea for bumperstickers. heres my idea:
"My public school kid kicked your ass Weis"
"Honk if you hate Jodie"
"The operator of this vehicle is screwed on a Daley basis"
"Warning: This is a TRU UNIT,vehicle will NOT move under any circumstance"
"may fire weapons without warning"
"DO NOT approach vehicle while operator is eating"
yeah its more BULLSHIT,yeah this city is belly up,and yeah they want to restrict us even more so fuck it.....lets have a little fun with this one...who's with me?
Don't sweat it, as long as they're in english, half of Chicago won't even be able to read them!!
Pt. II
Other than a P/O needing an assist or a 10-1, fuck everything & everybody else... 30 mph, strict adherance to one way signage, stop lights & stop signs, no short-cuts through alleys or side streets and be double damn sure to find LEGAL PARKING before exiting your vehicle to handle a job. Traffic backed-up for a mile at a light? It's not your gas & you're on the clock, get to your job in one piece and don't unduly expose yourself to this silly shit.
Whenever possible, two squads should roll side-by-side at 30mph on busy arterial streets for many blocks at a time... One car can accomplish this but it would *ahem* take a little savvy to pull it off.
Also, no alderthief or exempt will have the nerve to co-author/sign-off on ANYTHING remotely resembling an audit/time study delineating a uniform standard response time for any particular job. It's potential career killer for gold stars & a BIG political hot potato just like redrawing district boundaries.
(remember, the catch all phrase is "timely response" but who the fuck is pushing the button on the stop watch?)
Expect field supervision to try to play the "I'm here but where are you" game... Absolute nonsense! They can look at the pending board, blue-shirts can't.
So when you're wayyy off your beat handling jobs then you get a hot call on your beat and sgt./lt./cpt. silly starts with the "I'm here..." game, then by all means giddy-up. Then when the driving beef comes in, notate in your to-from that you were ordered to respond rapidly by a supervisor thus prompting a citizen complaint. After supervision gets bogged down dropping paper behind this foolishness it'll all go away.
Maybe this is the ammo we need to walk this department to a crawl and expose the manpower shortage for ALL to see.
We can barely believe our good fortune that the powers that be would give us something like this... After all, they're SO much SMARTER than the peed-on peons in Patrol, just ask them. We can REALLY put some powerful mean hurt on these morons and there's nothing they can do about it.
When this fails, we'll see which exempts get a Tokarev with one live round, courtesy of j-fart... There'll soon be much crying and muffled single gunshots from behind locked doors at 3510 while the wheels on the squads keep going 'round & 'round...
Everyone drive like fools and flood them with complaints.

Time for the unions to step up and protest the enormous stupidity that is overwhelming our department.
9/19/2009 01:46:00 AM
The union is having a very hard time simply enforcing the terms of the existing contract, the City is violating the contract almost at will, forcing the FOP to file ULP and grievances frequently.
I treat the City like they treatthe FOP, with utter contempt. I work for the citizens, not Daley or his suckhole bosses.
There have been people at at CAPS meetings who have complained that they see police cars, stop at red lights, then proceed through and this makes them mad.
Sometimes, if the cops there have any balls, they ask them, "If you were waiting for the police, would you yant them to wait or get there A.S.A.P.?"
what dumb-ass pos motherfucker came up w/ this shit-assed idea???
Every call outside of a 10-1 needs to be handled with the idea of avoiding driving beefs.
----------------------------
Every call should be handled with the thought that if you have an accident on the way you won't be improving the situation any.
Let them put a sticker and phone number on my squad. If they can read it I wasn't going fast enough.
Or I can simply change the number with a sticker and similar font to J-fakes office number.
yet you dickheads keep going out and doing work.
Whoah! About the only complalint IAD won't take, never has, is traffic related - this is nuts!
How about first putting them on Richie's armored limo, and on the valet errr bodyguard's cars. Same with Burke, and J-Fed, and Masters and the whole city counsel.
DON'T LIKE MY DRIVING
DIAL: 1-800-FUCK-YOU
Jody Weis , AKA BIG BROTHER . WTF !! This will be the straw that broke everyones back . OMG !
It's true! The most fucked up part of the order is they, as of now, plan to issue a cr # for each call, pending the inv.
Negative!!!! It's non-disciplinary, well at least for now... You think the department could handle the amount of bogus complaints thru the CR process that will be generated? No Way!!!
I would like to see this program for the average citizen...Before when you saw some shit driver, when you were off-duty, they might end up with a hang-on, but not anymore all they get is a free pass to drive like assholes.
Pretty soon the department will start treating us like a fantasy football league..Officer you drove 37mph in a 35mph zone, that is a $2.00 fine payable to your local aldermatic office...etc...
make up a event #...slow down.......the order was read at roll call..stickers for the cpd vehicles..
I thought the city was broke? How will theses stickers be paid for? Is this from Federal Stimuless money that was earmaked for a couple dozen new P.O.'s.
How can a CR be generated / sustained without a signed affidavit?
Will they be printed in a union shop? Will the union motor maintenance guys affix them if they aren't union produced?
How much longer will my G & O take if they have to affix the sticker?
inquiring minds want to know!
Signed: 1 800 East Shit
doesn't it cost money to call 311 from any phone including a cell phone?
Doesn't the city collect fees for those 311 calls? Doesn't some part of the fee for calling 311 go back to Daley?
Don't think for a second that the beady eyed federal dipshit thought this up on his own. This was a Masters via Daley tweak to yet again try and piss off the rank and file who will be severely fucking him dry come arbitration, considering a city much larger than Chicago just gave their members a nice fat raise.
Daley's bullshit line of the economy sucks and we're broke because of it don't hold water when New York can afford to pay what's right to their members.
So FUCK YOU MASTERS YOU LITTLE TOOL BOY, and FUCK YOU TOO DALEY.... you ain't gonna win in the end.
Bend over I'll drive !!
This really has to be a joke, right?
More people who have no idea of what it is to be a street police officer (FEDS!) trying to tell us how to do our jobs.
Feds are all assholes, it is part of their job description and psych profiles.
First and foremost, your cruiser is a leisure vehicle. Why race anywhere? Slip off your shoes, sip that free coffee, enjoy the newspaper, especially the crossword puzzle. I like to get a morning white castle and let one ripppppp deep into the cloth seat. First hot day the smell comes right back. Relax and smell the roses.
It kills me the way coppers look for reasons to lay down. You don't like this job then quit.
The dogs and the bosses are ruining this job, coppers snitching on other coppers are ruining this job. Suck holes are ruining this job. College graduates with no street sense and a false sense of entitlement are ruining this job. Wies is ruining this job, but no more then Cline ruined this job.
None of that matters, I am still going to show up and do my job, and help out any copper who needs it.

OT: It's getting fucking ridiculous the manpower shortage we're experiencing here. Three incidents this last week for officers in my district we've had response times over 30 minutes. When the FUCK is this department going to have another written exam?! Or, better yet, hire a few more people from the 2006 (which is near its end by the way. No way it extends more than a year without calling back people who previously failed a portion of the app. process).
I don't know how the hell we're going to manage in the upcoming years without new recruits and more people leaving than are being replaced.
Get on it already. Jesus, we're all suffering here; and so are the people we're supposed to be protecting.
9/
Do you know how many people are qualified and waiting to be hired. There is no need to give another test, they can't hire off of any new entrance tests, until everyone who qualified from prior tests have been hired. Unfortunately your mayor is not allocating any funds towards police hiring, if any hiring is done it will be thru grant funds that were received for hiring, and that will be a minimal number of people also.
These stickers will be just like those stupid no smoking in vehicle stickers they had everyone put in the cars. Couldn't we find a better use of that money?????
Sorry OT but had to comment...
Does anyone know what the f*ck is going on a HQ? A construction company is redoing the f*ck up by walsh construction when they originally built the building because water would pool by the west entrance. The new company has poured the concrete and has torn it up not once, not twice, but THREE F*CKING TIMES now and it's still not finished. This is insane and exactly why we should not get the olympics. Pitch the concrete towards the street morons.
You're not really that stupid are ya? It's the Chicago way! Cost over runs and the like. The company just turned a weeks job into three. See how it works? Richie just made a ton of dough and the taxpayers just footed the bill. Been going on forever. Don't tell the feds-it's a highly guarded secret...

This is a reasonable request for officers to drive safely. They have a obligation to protect the residents of this city and driving safely is a serious issue for some officers. Superintendent Weiss has our best interest in mind. Give the program a chance. I support this incentive.
ARE YOU INSANE?? Obviously this is either sarcasm or you just don't understand, that we were TRAINED to not always use the lights and siren, that lights and siren telegraph our arrival to bad guys and we don't want them to know we are coming in order to surprise them.
slap a "if you dont like my driving.dial 1-800-fku-jody" sticker over it. talk about dumb ideas.who the fuck came up with this brain child.just a thought but maybe the money spent on this bullshit (price of printing stickers,manpower investigating c.r.# ect:could be used for our fucking contract.man i'm so glad its almost over for me.fuck you richie.fuck you j-fed.god help the troops

And yet you guys, the ones enforcing the laws, are out doing the same thing you give us tickets for. I support the police, but you guys have to at least see how this can be a little bit aggravating.
Sometimes we are given a hot call and someone gives a "slow down" meaning turn off the lights and sirens but still come.
POLICIES AND NO NEW OFFICER WILL BE GRANDFATHERED IN MAKING OUR UNION USELESS.
Making FOP useless...where the fuck you been? They are useless!
Those stickers won't last long.
Seriously-do we all know where all the coppers in our district live? Where the exs live with the coppers kids?
How are you going to feel when someone in a copper's family gets hurt or fucked up because you slowed down on a call to make a polical point?
Smother them with complaints on bosses cars. That will end it fast.

Remember you said this when you are getting your ass kicked junior. Oh sorry, i forgot you used 024 as an example. But in the real world we do have to drive a little aggressively sometimes and just because my computer doesn't show me going to a call, doesn't mean I'm not going to a call. There are still a few districts out there that you just can't get through on the radio to say, "hold me going to ***'s job."
Hey maybe the midget can make some money by selling advertising space on the cars too?
Police Resort to Advertising on Cruisers
What do you do when your aging police car fleet needs replacing? Sell ads, it seems. That’s what the police department in Toledo, Ohio, is going to try when it starts bringing in new police cruisers to replace more than 100 that are out of date. The police department sent out letters to 1,000 local businesses, and four have shown interest.
The advertising would be placed on the rear quarter panels on both sides of the cruisers, where “9-1-1” appears. One lawyer and one small retail business have already committed $15,000 each to sponsor a car. The Toledo Fire Department is going to wait and see how the program works before following suit.
We guess it will be easier for those arrested to get a lawyer when the phone number is right there on the car, but it still seems a bit strange to us. What do you think? Does advertising on police cars bother you, or is it a smart way to raise money and keep taxes down?
cars.com
Well, now you know it had to come around soon, have you guys ever been off duty and see the new young breed of coppers just going thru the lights that are red, then they go down 2 blocks and go into starbucks for coffeee, come on , just how does this look to legit taxpayers, and now with GPS, just have an accident not responding to a call, the eyes of the public are steadily on us.
Hows my driving?

4:10p.m, my thought exactly!! Hate to say it, but this is one of those idea's that play to the non-working, non-tax payer scumbags that complain no matter what. Kind of like saying a democrat idea.
Believe it or not, this has been the practice in Los Angeles , to the best of my knowledge, since 2001.They call the office off of the street and ask him about the complaint. The LA officer told me that it would be unethical not to tell the watch commander the truth. A different culture? You bet.

Dear citizen, the police is in a business of GOING places. With the manpower shortage, we are constantly going from job to job, which means that we are not JUST WAITING for the light to change. 99% of the cars have places to go. Think about that when pookie kicking your ass, and you want to complain about the response times. This is not Alice In Wonderland where officers may teleport themselves to the scene with 3 clicks of their heels. You are not in the vehicle with the officer. We do not have a schedule to get to the jobs. All crime does not start specifically on the :15,:30 or :45 of the hour, and often times we have 3+ miles to get to DUMB-Mestics before pookie beats your ass lifeless. Often officers will use the lights WITH DISCRETION so pookie may still be there when they arrive. Or, If you wish for the police to catch the crackhead you let wash your car that now broke into your house- without giving him a 3 block notice, they will not use a siren. But thanks to people like you, your unknown offenders will now pillage and terrorize the citizens who MIND THEIR BUSINESS, because now response times will jump, more crimes will go unsolved, more ass will be beat, but that's what you ask for. Careful of what you ask cuz you, pookie, shaniqua, and Daley will get what you ask. I dont care if i see the offender speeding off the block. I'm not going to exceed the speed limit or pass a stop sign to catch him....Thank you for making my job easier. MERRY CHRISTMAS dear citizen, hope you like your present
-A former hardworking oficer
I no care's about dis, IT'S CATURDAY !!!!!, tomorrow I care's.
Don't do anything!
FUCK YOU! J-FED, ALL EXEMPTS, AND MAYOR DALEY!
HOPEFULLY THEY WILL PUT THE BUMPER STICKERS ON THE COMMANDERS VEHICLES TOO. SO WHEN MEALER GOES TO THE Y.M.C.A. IN NILES ON TOUHY EVERYBODY KNOWS WHO HE IS AND THAT HE IS THERE ON COMPANY TIME..
Outside of a 10-1
Do the speed limit, obey all traffic laws and find legal parking to all in progress calls!
Then we will see how fast this "DUMB ASS" idea gets shit canned!
The again I take my time to all jobs except for 10-1's and I am proud to admit it!
Fuck You Command staff! Take that to your beat off meetings!
To 02:25
Are you privy to the communication that we are. Did you ever consider that the police vehicle you observe going through a light may be responding to a burglary in progress and the use of emergency equipment only serves to alert the offenders of the impending arrival of the responding officers.
Did you, dear citizen ever consider that maybe the police vehicle you saw going disobeying a traffic signal without using its emergency equipment may be doing so because they are responding to a situation which requires stealth and caution.
Of course you haven't because in Willmette, Winnetka or whatever suburb you reside in, the bad guy where you live, if they even exist, doesn't motherfuck, fight or shoot at the police.
I don't walk into your cozy corner office on the 80th floor of the Hancock building and judge you because I don't know the first thing about your profession nor do assume that I can do it better. Please don't judge our actions based simply on what you percieve absent of any additional information.
I will accept the fact that we as police are accountable to those we serve. However, "How Is My Driving?" bumper stickers on our cars? To all those civilians that even consider calling that number and reporting. Work patrol in Area 1 or Area 2 for one Friday night and you will quickly realize that we don't deliver pizzas or work at FED EX for a living. Sometimes that red light or stop sign is the least of a coppers concern!
I support the police, but you guys have to at least see how this can be a little bit aggravating.
9/19/2009 02:58:00 PM
You don't have to answer a backlog of calls with people complaining about what took you so long to get there. If, I mean when, we start to sit in Chicago traffic, less than half of those backlog calls will get service.
Expect to get less response than you are getting now.

I know you are joking but you bring up a good point, HOW MANY TIMES HAVE CPD OFFICERS RUN OVER CITIZENS OR CAUSED ACCIDENTS DUE TO THEIR DRIVING? Yeah, like less than 1%, IF THAT.
This is just another stupid idea like the post earlier that said the city was trying to make us the same as the corporate world.
Last time I checked we were not truck drivers, not delivery people etc. Our job requires us to drive a certain way and as long as it is safe - and it is - wtf is the problem? I tell you, its just an idea some non-cop thought up to feather his cap. STOOPID! Yeah I know that's a misspelling but thats the closest I could get to a word beyond stupid.

Its true. They are creating a new unit to follow up on the complaints. It will have a Commander (RW), a Lt (EG), a Sgt, (AZ) and 5 Detectives and 10 PO's assigned to it. It is called the Driving Unit of Integrity or DUI.
9/19/2009 12:50:00 PM
That is a great idea. Lt. EG and RW. What a combination. The best and most proficient back stabbers in this department.
If the sticker is to read "How's my driving call 1-312-...-...." Then do so. When you get bored and you see an officer driving cautiously and responsibly call to compliment him. Also call on the bosses car as they are driving around running errands (Black crown vic with license plate number m..... drove very cautiously today as he went to walmart at 95th and Western for 47 minutes. Then to the dry cleaners and then to Jewel. He even stopped at the house of a lovely lady who appeared to be 20 years younger than him and dropped off the dry cleaning and groceries. Then he escorted the lovely citizen to a nice establishment downtown. All while obeying the rules of the road.

There is GPS on all of the cars. Just wait till you go down for lunch every day then call in a complaint on your car at the other end of district or the other end of the city while you are at your lunch location. Call in a complaint while your car is parked at the station or in motor maintenance.
The system will be so overwhelmed so fast that they will scrap the idea before the end of the first week!
Every day I read in this blog how our leaders are all a bunch of idiots.
So that means all we have to be is one step smarter that an idiot to beat them at their own games!!!
Hammer them with e-mails while you are waiting for your arrest to get approved. Today I saw a police officer in car 17xx driving like a saint. Yesterday I saw the dog driving vehicle # as the P.O. slept in the back. On this date and time I saw my neighbor who works at HQ drive very safely in his take home M plated car while headed to oriole park with his 2 children in the backseat. He even shared a beer with me from the cooler in the trunk.
That is the purpose of this BS retirement package! Get ride of senior officers! This should make the quota for the November "IM GONE" guys! Leave when you are ready! This job is actually getting easier! They are telling all of us to just say "NO" to everything! Take your time and don't get hurt! Don't get mad, get even! Take money for overtime if you can and cash all your days in for money! Work all the BS OT jobs and feed the Deferred Comp! You cant't fight City Hall but you can make the job into a "LazyBoy" recliner! Make the job work for you! Do not let them see you blink or sweat! FOP, Daley and the Pension Board are all together inside the Trojan Horse! Get rid of senior officers and screw the ones left! The city is not going to replace all those who retire! Less manpower means more money for "Ali Baba" and the 50 Thieves!"
All they care about is the Daley and Ryan 2016 Olympics!
Great day today... coded a job out of roll call. Grabbed a cup of Joe and a paper. Rode around a little; took a personal. Stopped by the crib to make a premise check. Another job, pulled an RD, wrote some paper, proof read it twice, took lunch. Handled another job, 19 Paul, aggresively patroled, took another personal. Finished the day with a #1 parker, checked off.
God I love this job!!
They just locked up pookey for raping a 12 yr old oh damn let's call that number on the bumper get them Policce in some shit make them lose they jobs.

civilian post---
a personal anecdote which I think should be read in the spirit of having a laugh.
Come home with the family in 2002, lived in 25 at the time, Police supporter (everyone laugh now, lotsa family on the job) Squad parked blocking the street to the apron in front of my garage talking to a female in a car, driver to driver, traffic backing up and down the secondary street to go around them or not even turning, or kind of turning and backing back, you know what I mean... anyways
Musclebound PO impressing everyone around him, I'm sure. I stop, wait, catch the eye of the hispanic PO on midnights, point toward my garage. He advises me to "go around" over his loud speaker and goes back impressing his pussy, laughing.
So I take my 80 thousand dollar Mercedes truck down the sidewalk on Palmer, westbound, along my fence, do a quick T-turn, back up to my apron, back to his partner's door to about 4 inches, who wakes his sorry ass up when gravel hits the door when I do a brief brake stand, starting to pull forward into my garage and he hits me with his light into my rearview mirror which I switch off so I can only see hispanic number two's dumb ass face.
Pull into my garage, exit the vehicle and walk around.
Muclebound H PO doesn't quite know how to take the initiative. sleeping buddy, also..So I yell him this:
"Man that was cool huh >," smiling at his asswipe shocked face, "following a direct order by **** I drove around 25** to my destination, man!!! that was fun !!!"
Then he stammers on about, advising a civilian on shots fired,,,what a total ass.
My point being I wouldn't have called a number on 25** anyway, but he was and is a total ass.
---Not a cop---but not that---not a cop.

What #'s do the three Stoogettes use? Or if they want plate numbers, I'll need Grumpy's [stuttering P's]and Lumpy's [Mrs. P's] plate numbers. Can anyone help? We could organize a calling tree for certain people, like Ike...
I just don't even know what to say anymore. It's all such a fucking big joke. What the hell happened to this department?

Face the facts, all of our cars have GPS that can monitor the speed, direction and every movement our vehicle makes. So if someone makes a beef on us saying "beat 2413 was speeding 50 mph on Western and Devon area" they can look it up verify it.
I for one am in favor of this idea. We are not supposed to drive like assholes yet that is what some people do.

ok ill take my time responding when your family is getting home invaded
Every commercial vehicle on the road has one of these signs and despite being cut off, given the finger, passed on the right, and being behind a truck w/no brake lights, I've never called to tell "how his driving was". They knew how it was when they put him behind the wheel. If the assw2ipe mayor wants to open himself up to an additional fifty thousand lawsuits a year from disgruntled arrestees, that's on him. It's his stolen booty he'll have to pay out not mine.

It's true! The most fucked up part of the order is they, as of now, plan to issue a cr # for each call, pending the inv.

Well if a cr #'s obtained, the complainant will have to sign the affidavit, and heck when the beef is exonerated the complainant should then be arrested for false report.
With all the camera's, gps, and this stickers this city is going to turn out to be the finest of all cities; so fine we'll be able to host the olympics!!!
---Not a cop---but not that---not a cop.
is Irish and has a question:
Will the number be very simple ? like can we press the left button for when we haffa ?
. . . and I should go to flying to a call, because of what? Instead put a sticker on Mike Masterbates car for impersonating the police and Jfeds car as well. Put a sticker on all of te morons foreheads that came up with the idea.

This is Obama's idea. He likes stickers. He's the one that sponsored the legislation that puts the stickers on the traffic tickets.
What's a traffic ticket? Is that the book in my locker covered in dust and probably expired three years ago?
First and foremost, your cruiser is a leisure vehicle. Why race anywhere? Slip off your shoes, sip that free coffee, enjoy the newspaper, especially the crossword puzzle. I like to get a morning white castle and let one ripppppp deep into the cloth seat. First hot day the smell comes right back. Relax and smell the roses.

Now that's funny! My squad is a cruiser now too. I never had the guts to actually take my shoes off, but I do believe I'll give it a try when I'm legally parked in the park with my coffee and free paper.
"This is a reasonable request for officers to drive safely. They have a obligation to protect the residents of this city and driving safely is a serious issue for some officers. Superintendent Weiss has our best interest in mind. Give the program a chance. I support this incentive."
I didn't know that the midget was on SCC blog!
One of the missions of Pete Burst is to repair the relationship between citizens and police. During his research he learned that incident involving marked cars splashing citizens on the curb side were not uncommon. He strongly believes this type of behavior is very indictive of how the trust between police officers and citizens has crumbuled. Therefore, this order was an attempt to allow citizens to report the " sharking" and help repair the damaged relationship between Police and citizens. This is not made up , only a feeb can think like this.
As a citizen, I think this is a stupid idea. I do however think it's annoying when I see you guys flip on your lights to merely avoid sitting at a traffic light in rush-hour traffic. You proceed through the intersection, then continue on at a casual pace, sit in traffic for a few minutes, then decide you should go through this intersection too. I will admit that CPD marked cars do this hardly ever, but the unmarked ones (take-home, exempt, city clout jockies?) do it quite often, as do the suburban cops.
They expect us to stay in line and respect the laws. They install red light cameras to make money off of unsafe intersections. And yet you guys, the ones enforcing the laws, are out doing the same thing you give us tickets for. I support the police, but you guys have to at least see how this can be a little bit aggravating.

Thats not whats going on there miss, somtimes were trying to get to a destination faster, while trying to do so in a safe manner. So going through lights reduces the time it takes to get there. This is often the case when a job comes out that could go bad for the assigned unit, and as a precaution you start heading in the direction of the call just in case an officer needs help. The driver of the vehicles your talking about are usually more expierienced Officers who can tell when they need to start getting closer just in case, but it isn't an emergency yet. Not everything is as clear cut , but you can never know what the Police officer is thinking in thosew incidents, but rest assured it is alomst always duty related. at least in my case and expierience it is.
"...we are not supposed to drive like assholes...now with GPS we can see if beat 2413 was going 60 miles per hour down Western...I for one am in favor of this idea..."
Spoken like a true clueless north sider. Starbucks just called. Your latte is ready. I'll bet you'll speed for that.
I don't care how you drive but could you quit talking on your cellphones while your driving and PRETEND like you give a shit? signed, a citizen some of you have almost clipped while texting, talking.
