Federal Misbehavior?
- Hey guys, I got a little more info to add to this article. They failed to mention that Hoffman Estates employs a few Federal Agents (homeland security) to receive federal funds (higher than usual) with this money and other funds, they are close to completion on a $10 million dollar new facility.
On top of this Sunday Dec 6th, 1 of these federal agents took a newly seized car for a joy ride and totaled it. The cars estimated value?? $400,000!!!
That would cover the salary for the 4 officers and this story wasn't reported on anywhere.
A pro golfer or a Chicago Bear wreck a luxury car that they own and it's big news. Feebs wreck a car that they have no claim to aside from an un-adjudicated court case and no one says a word. Can anyone confirm?

Kinda makes it a bit more palatable to discover that you'll only be Sparred when you get stuck eating the "parking lot damage" that's been on your squad car for months but hasn't been reported...that is, until the jackasses on the next watch decide to make an issue of it and drop paper.

Yeh yeh,
It was a fierro with a Ferrari body kit yeh yeh.
SCC...Thanks for being Chicago's one and only spot for true honest news in the city. If I were forced to look towards the times or the trib I might be under the impression that Daley was a good mayor, politicians in Chicago were honest and the reverends gave a sh*t about their congregations.
$400,000 car? What the hell was it made of??? Gold plated Lamborghini?? Did it still have drugs inside??? Imagine that "To-From".
ALL FEDS ARE FUCKUPS...AINT THAT RIGHT JODI????
$400,000 WTF.....was that James Bond's Aston Martin with all the gadgets????
The Homeland Security people are a bunch of clouted drunken hacks. I'd be surprised if it wasn't a DUI.
Is someone in HE jealous of someone else's NARCINT assignment?
I live in Hoffman Estates and have never seen a $400,000 here. Sounds a little on the high side.
Maybe they were pursuing Whitely Bulger when the accident happened.
$400,000?
I'm voting Rolls Royce.
Oh sure...NOW they want us to go find them a tow truck and driver that will keep his mouth shut and spread a few bucks around to keep everyone happy. Funny how the real world works. It's all 'legit.'

REALLY?
How about the 017 Midnite Morons that decided to play smash car derby in 025 a few years back. They take their vehicle back to 017minus a front end & claim "parking lot damage". It got interesting when a smashed up car is taken off a lawn, revealing an M-Plate?
Enlighten us on that "Issue" Shit for Brains...
As Sean Connery stated in the Untouchables, "Who would claim to be a Federal Agent that is not"?

love it the guys not willing to eat the damage and he's a jackass

"brother"?
As much as I would enjoy being able point the finger at the feds for this one this time their innocent. Get the story right it was a Hoffman Estates cop assigned to a state task force... do some homework and find out which one. As for the car all gusses so far are wrong. Here is a tip its a German made vehicle and has a carbon fiber frame. Anyone want to play auto trivia? If you get these three questions correct you might have a chance at what type of car got totaled. What tv character drove a 1973 firebird? What type of car did Columbo drive? What three autos did Bill Bixby drive and in what shows?
forget it being a Rolls or a Bentley, I'd bet it is a Ferrari or a Lamborghini, only they have the true power to really have a novice to real horsepower to wreck them in an instant.
WHAT THE HELL IS AN ANALYST GOING TO DO RIDING A SUBWAY CAR!!!
AND I HAVENT SEEN ANY APPLICATION OR FORM FOR THIS HOMELAND SECURITY CTA GIG EITHER!
JODDY WHAT HAPPENED? I REMEMBER WHEN U WALKED IN WITH YOUR GLEAMING PECKS AND BEA WAS TAKING NOTES AT HQ U STATE PROMOTION WILL BE FAIR.
NOW UR SCAMMING A NEW UNIT WITH FED MONEY AND WHAT NO PAX 501.
WHO U PUTTING IN SUM OF UR GANG INTELLIGENCE OR NARCOTIC KIDS.
WE GONNA HAVE POWER TEST, CREDIT CHECK ,2 RECOMMENDATION FROM 2 EXEMPTS. U MY LARGE HEADED FRIEND ARE A STROKE!
UR NEW UNIT WILL BE LOCKING UP PISS BUMS AND WRITING ANOVS TO SMOKER....
JUST KEEP ON DRAINING PATROL WAIT TILL THE NUMBER OF POLICE SHOOTING COME OUT IN A FEW WEEKS IT SHOULD BE NEWSWORTHY!
The Feds' fuck-ups never go anywhere. Remember about 12-15 years ago when the Fed sniper shot and killed a woman holding a baby? And a Fed agent machine-gunned a 10 year old boy in the back?
What happened to them???
Nothing.
Or that raid in Texas where 20+ women and children burned to death and, per orders of the Atty General, no paper left?
Does any not believe that the Feds should have civilian revue??

its a classic, get it right
Jeff Spicoli: Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.

An Audi?
What tv character drove a 1973 firebird?
Ponch from Chips and Jim Rockford? (yes, they both did although the quote from "Gone in 60 seconds doesn't include Ponch)
What type of car did Columbo drive?
A Peugeot?
What three autos did Bill Bixby drive and in what shows?
A Corvette in The Magician
A Ford pickup in The Incredible Hulk

And Magnum P.I.'s license plate was ROBIN-1
Was not a fed, it was a Hoffman Estates officer assigned to a auto theft task force..get your shit right!
"my brother's a tv repairman, he's got an awesome set of tools"
Luv it! (I'm here for history class, I can see the globe.)
Maybe Mr. Marabelli of the Illinois State Police Auto Theft Task Force could answer? Hey Ed, things are looking to get alittle warm huh?
All types of schemes and scams happening in this little slice of crook county.
The special crowd at HEPD can do whatever they want.
SCC, could be wrong but I think the only street-legal German ride in that ($400k) price range would be the Mercedes-Benz/McLaren SLR, made infamous by former owner Paris Hilton.
The Audi R8 doesn't have a full carbon fiber "tub", nor do any Porsches or BMWs made for the street.
Oh, and Jim Rockford drove the Firebird, Columbo drove some POS Frogmobile (I think Peugeot is right) and I never watched any show with Bill Bixby in the cast.
$400K MBZ would be the SLR or the SLR722
Bentley Continental Series NEW is around $230K - $250K
Bentley Azure/Brooklands around $375K
Bentley Arnage around $330K
Rolls Phantom $390K
Rolls Drophead Coupe @ $450K
Lambo Murcielago $380K
Lambo Gallardo $250K
Ferrari F430 around $340K
Ferrari Enzo @ $1.3MM
Bugatti Veyron around $1.3MM
Aston Martin...just get the JAG...looks the same for 1/3 the price, thanks to the designer for both is the SAME GUY!!!
well guys I was the one that posted that comment. I heard it from some homeland security feds family memeber that was at the scene. So things may have been misrepresented. No need to name call, nice to see we are all adults around here.
The vehicle was probably the Mercedes E63 AMG.
And no one said the car was brand new or the value was for new. So it could techinically be an older model car, that at one time cost a mil.
Let's try again. Can't believe I forgot this beautiful car. The Porsche Carrera GT (mid-engine V-10-about 1200 built between 2004-2006) would also fit the description previously provided.
The Mercedes/McLaren SLR was quite chubby (3800 lbs) given its composite construction. However, as with (one-time SLR owner) Paris Hilton, many of us might critique its weight, styling, or other aspect of the thing, but we wouldn't turn down one balls-out "ride" as long as we believed we wouldn't end up dead.
For either of these rides, $15-20k wouldn't buy much in the way of body repair, dads with TV repair tools notwithstanding.
Maybach? 400 grand easy..and they are all over the place. Bentley? maybe?
It is a bad ass Porsche Carrera GT. Who hasn't wrecked a squad no big deal!
Does anyone ever think that the police and the feds will ever get along?
It is kind of fucked up that we hate each other so much. Feds hate dirty cops and cops hate dirty feds.
If its about money we can say that cops cost the tax payers alot of money in lawsuits. But then again one fed selling our nations secrets to the USSR cost tax payers more money than all the fucked cops. So what is it?
I say for 2010 we start over and try to get along, work toward a common goal.
Its all a matter of suction.
I'm also guessing a Porsche Carrera GT. Even with the inherent understeer of a mid-engine layout those things are so powerful that they are dangerous even to experienced drivers. I've been in one of those cars when it did a 360, it was a snap spin.
Btw, carbon fiber does not sound like metal during a crash and those cars have a tendency to mess people up and put them into walls. It's not just suburban or federal cops who can put those things into walls, I've met an amateur racer who has put his into track walls around the country - and at $50,000 to $200,000 a wreck (the low end to replace a large panel and a $9,000 wheel) he might be better off hanging out with Tiger Woods.
For most of us driving the CGT would be like the driver of a Honda 50 stepping up to a Ducati 1098, without all of the airbags it would be an organ donation waiting to happen.
As predicted.The Village of Hoffman Estates is going to bail out the failing Sears Centre.They have money to help out their buddies but not keep officers.
