Pay-to-Park at Juvie Court?

On duty in a marked car? We're there at the behest of the justice system. We don't recall being required to have to pay out of pocket to park a city vehicle for somewhere we are ordered to be.
  • SCC,

    Today, 01SEP09, while at juvenile court a letter was posted in the police room stating starting 01OCT09 there will be no more free parking for law enforcement officers. The garage is converting to an automated system and there will be no more cashiers taking the signed tickets. There is no provision for officers on or off duty, such as a marked/unmarked squad car. The letter was written on Cook County letterhead and addressed to the sheriff's union.
Someone else said this might be starting at 26th Street? We think the County ought to set up a valet parking system and validate parking. It'll be a cold day in hell before we give Stroger a dime of our cash for this crap.

Oh, God. Yes! It's finally happened! The straw that broke the camel's back!

Oh, wait. The suck asses will gladly pay. They'll still vote for the Machine too. They'll tell you how they make so much more in court and that it's just a couple of bucks. All the more reason to keep working harder for Shortshanks and the Toddler.

Carry on. Nothing to see here.

Well I have not been to traffic court because of the parking situation there for over 9 years. Mark my words as I sit here and type them. If they make us pay to park at these court houses I will not be going to those either. SIF all day long!!!I go out of my way not to give the piece of shit Stroker a dime of my money.

Welcome to the new pay stations at 31st Beach! Who will get the money from these machines on Park District Property? Never had to pay before so there was no deal to sell any thing. Does Laz parking get this money also? And anywhere else shortshanks and his band of merry theives set their sights?

Simple solution: add juvenile arrests to the activity you should have ceased producing about 2 1/2 years ago.

This latest kick in the balls should be interpreted as yet another painfully obvious reminder that the City of Chicago, County of Cook and State of Illinois don't want us to be the police anymore.

I got the message loud and clear a long time ago and I suggest the masses follow suit sooner rather than later. It just isn't worth it anymore, boys and girls. Do the bare minimum, collect your salary and the occasional supplemental cash of Special Employment and apply your most powerful tool (after that of "arrest") of discretion towards your longevity, sanity and overall physical, mental and financial well-being.

This job is pretty much dead in the water. And barring a miracle of monumental proportions, it's only going to slowly decompose further.

Ultimately, it will be the City of Chicago and it's Pay-to-Park rules and outrageously priced street parking that will fuel the development of the cloaking device for automobiles that will eventually lead to the Romulan cloaking device first developed in 2266.

In 2293 the Klingons will test an experimental Bird-of-Prey that can operate its weapons while cloaked.

It would be an inconvenience for sure, but when the department sees thousands of dollars a month being reimbursed in parking fees (since you are required to be there) I imagine things would change.

Sometimes the only way to get change is to give your "boss" what he wants and let him see how stupid it makes him look.

Hey SCC,

Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing but considering the bullshit spewed by "Westside Insider Do Nothing" blasting the Detectives working in A/4 this piece of shit needs to be censored.

Hey dude, nobody gives a shit about your fucked up opinions. Go start your own blog that nobody will visit.

This department is currently in the shitter and it's due in part to assholes like you that BID for the lock up and then don't want to do your job. I'm SOOOO jaded! Things didn't work out for me so now I'm a waitress for murderers and rapists.

I don't work in A/4 but I read all your bullshit about watching your movies and eating popcorn and blasting the dics. You're an asshole. There's alot on this job and you happen to be one of them. The lock up huh? Yeah you got it so good not doing shit while your friends, scratch that, you probably don't have any friends, do their job.

Poor bitter angry lock up keeper. It's a shame that all your goals in life have fallen short leaving you to think that being cooped up with jagoffs during your tour is the cats ass.

That is fine with me. i will leave the police vehicle parked legally in the station lot and I will take public transportation down to the courthouse. That will kill half a day or more each time, on duty of course.

This isn't as good as watching a former commander of traffic order that all police cars, marked and unmarked, including Illinois State Police, be towed from in front of and around the old traffic court building at 321 N LaSalle St.

You should have seen the public reaction to a fleet of City tow trucks towing, CITY POLICE VEHICLES! And some Illinois State Police Vehicles.

I can't remember that commander's name but it seems we now have more of his type. Years ago we had at least a few bosses who were competent, now there are virtually none.

Chicago Public Schools officials say they'll spend about $30 million to target about 1,200 high school students most at risk of committing violence or falling victim to it under a new safety and security plan outlined today.

The students will be selected using risk factors like grades, attendance and serious misconduct in school, District CEO Ron Huberman told the Tribune editorial board.

So if they won't give me a car to go to court, then I told him I had to leave at 1100 to take public transportation.....they gave me a squad.

To the guy ripping on West Side Do-Nothing:

first off, your admitting that you regularly read his comments and now are responding to one. So much for the "no one cares" about your posts. YOU CARED ENUF TO RESPOND, JACKHOLE.

second, he is obviously one of the more-educated posters read here. you know hes been otj a good while and he tells it like it is. you must be younger and/or newer to this job and still believe the bullshit ramblings of your academy instructors who brainwashed your pathetic, feeble mind, not to mention buying into the bullshit that your so-called bosses have spoonfed you.

People regularly respond positively to his rants and views even if their a bit rough around the edges. When idiots like you can put together a thought that actually makes sense, feel free to contribute it to the blog rather than rip on someone who obviously has the time, sense and education to back up his points of view.

i neither work in a/4, but anyone who does with more than a few years has my respect, regardless of in what capacity, lockup, review, watch or tac. id love to know this guys history just out of curiousity, because hes obviously been around awhile.

....rather than rip on someone who obviously has the time, sense and education to back up his points of view.

Sense and education?

He talked shit about a case because he didn't give somebody a baloney sandwhich so therefore he was never arrested?

Yeah. There's some cutting edge thought boy.

.....still believe the bullshit ramblings of your academy instructors who brainwashed your pathetic, feeble mind, not to mention buying into the bullshit that your so-called bosses have spoonfed you.

Nobody defended the jagoff bosses dick weed. Your role-model-lockup keeper ripped on the dics for getting this jagoff charged with attempted murder.

I didn't see any comments about bosses.

You must be some new-time douche bags that sits and laughs at this assholes war stories.

GO FUCK YOURSELF.

Stop bitching about a $2 fee when you get 3 hours OT just for signing in.

9/03/2009 08:40:00 AM

This is the sort of mentality that screws us all the time. Just like with prescription meds - used to be free then they raised it to $1 and everyone said, "Oh big deal, whats $1 - well you see where that got us all .....

The $2 fee of today, will not be the same fee they charge when they're stealing our money from us,

if you're driving a marked squad - you're not getting any overtime. It's part of your tour, so ultimately you're paying to go to work.

Who wants to deal with these mickey mouse idiots anyway?
First, they have no fucking respect because they know that nothings gonna happen to them if you arrest them. These "CPS honor students" knew the fucking system right off the bat. They'll even tell you to hurry up with the arrest report so that you can call momma to come and pick them up. Then you have to deal with the Youth DICKS, who also will give you another fucked up attitude and told you to wait another two hours for them to be in the station.
If no "signed complaints" why not just curfew these fucks and you don't have to deal with a headache.

And the best part is that the judges at juvie court don't take the bench till about 1030 sometimes. So you pay the parking fee until they get off their ass and take the bench(while they park for free. Why would they have to pay for parking at work?)

to 8:40 on 09/03/09, GFY.

let's see. . . you work an 8 hour shift that is in a constant backlog of radio assignments and the shift is undermanned. when you manage to make an arrest or the detectives get a fingerprint from that burglary report you wrote two years ago, and you get called to court, you usually have to go when you would normally be sleeping. you get home late the night before and go home tired from another busy night at work, often with lunch denied. you can't go to sleep right away due to the adrenaline still pumping in you so you stay awake an hour or two. then you get up early to get ready for court. it takes about 30 minutes to an hour to shower, shave, shit, eat and get dressed. then, depending on where you live, you have to drive sometimes up to an hour on some of the worst paved roads in the nation, beating up your car and trying to avoid the multitudes of uninsured, suspended drivers you know are also driving the same roads. you get to the courthouse and after parking, signing in, and getting to the courtroom another 15 minutes has passed. sometimes you hope the state will release you in 5 minutes so you can get back home and get some sleep for another backlogged, undermanned, poorly supervised shift at the CPD circus dealing with crackheads, police fighters, drug dealers, gun carrying felons, and the victims of crime who are sometimes innocent children.

so yes i will bitch if they want to charge me to park at court. there is a reason we get 3 hours automatically for signing in at court: that 3 hours covers your travel time and time devoted to appearing in court in a professional manner. By the time you go to court and come home, you have earned that 3 hours, even if all you did was sign in. that was something our union did right for us long ago.

the A hole who wrote that we should stop bitching because we get paid 3 hours for showing up has probably never gone to court on a regular basis.

we would not go to court at all if we only got paid for the 5 minutes it takes to sign in and out on some days.

have you ever gone to court and sat there for two hours and then signed out? you still only got paid for 3 hours, but almost 5 hours of your day is wasted when that happens.

again, you who think we should not complain about having to pay for parking at court are a butt munching, ass kissing jag who was never the police. we are doing the city a service by confronting and locking up those who harm the innocent and tax payers of our society. and then for the city to ask us to pay for the privilege to park while serving the city is an absolute INSULT. GFY.

sorry about the long post but that hit a nerve.

Betcha those youth dicks with attitudes (there IS no Youth anymore; it's been Special Victims for over eight years now, and everybody promoted in the last decade is a cross-trained Detective, dunce) have a real laugh at you, with your signed complaints.

We don't need signed complaints for juveniles, so you look pretty stupid TWICE in this post.

You're probably a real high-quality cop, as evidenced by your extraordinary knowledge of the job.

i haven't gone to juvenile court for years so no big deal--- juveniles must be read miranda warnings in front of parent/guardian by youth officer which means they go to court, not you.... why should i make a pinch so some desk jockey youth dic can benefit from the fruits of my labor--- they can all go out and lock up all the yutes---- if i get one i throw it back, just like an undersized fish and try for something better....

Another genius who takes too much of what's posted on SCC literally. Thankfully for you and your abject fear of lower case typing (don't talk, SCREAM), I'm not licensed to carry a firearms but instead possess an arm that fires. Stick that in your state statute and smoke it.

Semper Fidelis!
