North Side Tickets?
Any of our north side readers know anything about this?
- Why is revenue writing tickets to church goers in 016? Saw them out today on Touhy writing cars and it looked like they were in a hurry to get it done before church let out.
Is this getting done on west side and south side?
Sunday church-goers targeted in a well-to-do part of town? Interesting to say the least. Any truth to this one?

I heard this rumor too. It seems like someone unleashed a barrage of tickets on city workers cars while they attended church services at St. Juliana's Church on the 7400 block of W. Touhy.
Hate towards mostly city workers and/or Christians?
Interesting!
That shit would not fly on the south side. church goers get parking curtesy all the time!
was the mayor's suv there?
I wish these f-er's would come on my block and ticket those that park their Indiana plated vehicles every single night.
Is this why the 2457 team was on patrol in 016 tonight?
What about those MBC members and Ministers who continue to park their pimped out rides on sidewalks, hydrants, crosswalks, and double parked???????
"M B C " - MAKE BELIEVE CHURCHES
If its SJ Parish, then we need to call the alderwoman ASAP and voice our concerns over this bullshit.
I dont know anything about ticketing whites who are at church but I've been told by numerous bosses NOT to write tickets to black church goers. Especially rev-run Meeks' flock
And why not? We re the only ones that pay. Sonny is right, the working man is a sucker.
In 014, far too many parking courtesys are allowed for every church, play-church, church activity, you name it.
Now, so-called 'former' gang member, alderman Rey Colon, has destroyed the beauty of Logan and Kedzie Boulevards by covertly passing an ordinance to allow parking there.
Considering all of this, WHY in hell would revenue be targeting actual churchgoers during the hours actual services are being held? Those people should descend on the alderman's office up there and DEMAND the tickets be nonsuited. Just like Rahm Emanuel had HIS last ticket nonsuited.
yes. Lots of old people who can't walk to church parked on the north side of touhy and all got tickets.
not only that but friday night the 13th district had their annual halloween party and this year it was a fundraiser for one of our own who suffered a stroke while on duty over at Marchettis on Erie and Halstead and those M-FERS (at least 3 or 4 of them )especially a f/1 said to one of the P.O'S from the 13th. I DONT GIVE A FUCK! FUCK THEM and was writing every car as fast as they could. coppers were ticketed and they didnt give a fuck. SO FUCK THEM THEY WANNA PLAY, whenver we see them in and around the 13th district boundaries they need to watch out because they got one coming from alot of us
Don't you know? You have to be jobless and wear purple pin stripe suits and alligator boots in order to go to church and not get a ticket.
Not shocking there are a few different goofs from revenue on bikes I see cruising the far nw side. Funny I never see them when I'm at work on the west side?????
I just know that Friday afternoon a lot of cars in Edison park had orange slips, I hope it wasn't coppers. I would expect it from slimy meter maids.
Foul... Just plain foul and a declaration of war on tax payers who for the most part try to mind their business and stay out of the way... We would definitely understand if a crowd of the good church-goers took up hoes, rakes, mattocks & hot fire to the mouth-breathers doing the funky deed...
Let a ticket get written around one of the South side super churches and see what happens...
Even if a Policeman didn't write it, a Policeman's ass is going to be hurting because of it.
THAT'S the Chicago Way...
Hit the people that pay their tickets, no sense in wasting the paper on the dog ass make believe storefronts !
Tiny Dancer 9.5
In the tradition of rmd.
Got to go where the money is and the ability to pay.
They aints ever gonna hit them free-loadin link cards on da west and souf sides.
Drive down Douglas Blvd on any Sunday and see the cars double and triple parked. See the note in the CO book informing officers to give worshippers "parking courtesy" in these areas. I guess this only applies to certain areas, not all.
Pay those taxes. Enjoy getting nothing in return.
No its not, they fukn double and triple park their everywhere and anywhere for hours.........
Need to hit the Parker's near Meeks church.
I've gotten at least 2 tickets from the DOR asshol* bicycle peddlers. Neither time was I parked illegally, close, but I was legally parked. Both said they were 'photo' proven. When I went on the website all it showed was a picture of my plate, twice, and a blurred 'No Parking' sign and my vehicle nowhere to be seen. I've contested both, but still no word..... So I have to assume the worse and I'll be getting the I'm liable letter.
Betcha they arent writing any @ synagogues in Rogers Park?
I'd like to thank the Revenue loser working the 17th district for that expired out of state plate ticket.
I've had plenty of Chicago, suburban, and Illinois State Police behind me in the last few months, likely all believing the same thing, its an issue between myself and the other state.
Why would any business person in their right mind want to start a business in a city that bleeds their citizens dry on BS tickets like this, I sure as hell won't be opening shop in this shithole city.
.went to my local gun shop this morning, in Illinois. Parking lot was full.Everyone taking advantage of their second amendment rights.Good people of Illinois
you are admirable.Conceal carry is a movement away that you will win. Stand fast . It is only a matter of time. Illinois will join the other 49 other states.
It's a money grab aimed at the tax base.
They don't do that in the ghetto because the mutts won't pay and the revrun's would be bitching up a storm.
Go by any westside church on Sunday morning and you will see the cars parked two and three deep on the street. We always have to ignore it on Sunday.
SURE! Write churchgoers tickets so the city can make money to coddle the rich and connected...

West side cop............ Writing tickets to church patrons is never done. That's just asking for operation rainbow to show up in he district.
They did that on the southside for a couple weeks back in June. They were real shadey about it too.

SO MANY DISTRICT
CLOSING AND STILL NOT A PEEP FROM ANY OF THOSE OFFICER!
THEY COULD START HITTING THOSE CLOUTED SPOTS IN THOSE DISTRICTS.
BUT AS USUAL THOSE OFFICER WANT THEY FOP TO DO THE HEAVY LIFTING WHILE THEY WORRY ABOUT BEING THE POLICE IN THE GHETTO.
OH WELL!
WE DONT RIGHT TICKETS FOR WEED ON THE WEST SIDE AND U PROBABLY WILL TAKE UR GUN OUT MULTIPLE TIMES A SHIFT IF U R DOING POLICE WORK.
OH I FORGOT IF U THINK UR GONNA STAY DOWN ON JOBS AND HIDE U IN FOR A SURPRISE!

Maybe the ACLU should sue ... disparate impact based on religion ...
What about the black church at Berteau/Laramie ... it looks like Myron and Phil's Restaurant ... all the Cadillacs and Lexus' parked right in front
10/31/2011 04:48:00 AM
Have to? You have a CO that gives you an Illegal order to Ignore ILV rules and Chicago Municipal Codes :Title 9...and you follow them?
Aren't you the good little moron.
Either write the parkers or retire ya pussy.
do they ticket at 95th st from
eggleston to wallace , every sunda church goers parked in bus stops , crosswalks , blocking fire plugs
If you have extra money for Jesus, you got money to pay your tickets.

10/31/2011 02:07:00 AM
I was told by an administrative hearing officer to NEVER contest your ticket by mail, they sit on it forever and you're still liable for it, even if you shouldn't. ALWAYS CONTEST IT IN PERSON. A lot of the hearing officers are attorneys who work a few hours a week hearing cases,only. As such they have no loyalty to the city and most feel that the city is in the wrong anyway.
"on Erie and Halstead and those M-FERS (at least 3 or 4 of them )especially a f/1 said to one of the P.O'S from the 13th.

NEVER LET THE ENEMY KNOW YOUR PLANS
Just observe and enforce any and all traffic violations by DOR and problem solved....

Maybe I was in that gun store in Lyons. Several good solid head of family types were in there buying due to the tragic murder of that 14 year old girl in nearby Indian Head Park.
May God Grant Peace to That Family.
Good for those righteous men and women who choose to not be victims and arm themselves.
I wonder if they ever write tickets at any of the Mosques? I bet they don't the perpetual mooslim victims would be up in arms.

If you were to write tickets to Meek's flock you would have to go to the strip club where all the faithful are watching the pole dancers.
2457 was probably on patrol in 016 because many districts are sending cars from THEIR watches to cover "shortages" in 016. 014 does it all the time on midnights.
Time for all you officers working in the south and west side districts to start ticketing those churchgoers in your fine districts! What's good for the goose.....
--Just a Citizen
Start writing tickets in the hood on their most sacred day. Where ever these DOR live, they too can get tickets.
Ok my fellow LEO's...Revenue Parking Enforcement Aides work Monday thru Friday. Whoever was ticketing on Sunday was the private company SERCO.
Quality of Life. Isn't this the theme we have been hearing for years in Chicago. So where has the "quality" gone. Every time we turn around these days we are getting a Ticket shoved up our ass. It is only going to get worse. The new Ghouls in City Hall want more and more money out of us to fund their useless and corrupt agenda.
I had the joy of ticketing a laz parking van on devon once!
Not to fear. I'll bet the ACLU will be on this soon. All it will take is a Freedom Of Information request to see where all the tickets are being written (and paid).
If there is a disproportionate amount of tickets being written in the white areas, I am sure they will defend them. The ACLU always plays fair with both sides.
I work days in 013 and you can't even think about writing a church in the ghetto they are always illegally parked also you can't write the bullshit Sunday revival at clemente h.s. Every week.
I wish these f-er's would come on my block and ticket those that park their Indiana plated vehicles every single night.
10/31/2011 12:11:00 AM
And what exactly do you write them for if they are legally parked????
I've seen DOR writing cars in downtown Edgebrook on weekends. Keep punishing the taxpayers!

No sympathy here. Drive on Illinois roads- have valid plates, regardless of what state issued them. You're probably one if those stupid yuppies from Indiana who had lived in lakeview for years and still hasn't changed their D/L or plates to avoid paying for a city sticker, both of which I will gladly write you for if I ever stop you.
The war on the taxpayer drones on.
RAHM TAX.........
big suv, pay me
got a dog, pay me
ride a bike, pay me
dont shovel your snow, pay me
Riding a bicycle with an orange or green vest on looks suspicious to me. Hmmmmm.
I'm calling the ACLU. The meter maids are unfairly distributed in the white neighborhoods. I can count on one hand the time I've seen any of them writing tickets in 011, but I see them in swarms in my neighborhood.

"MAJOR BULLSHIT CHURCHES"
The solution is rather simple, for those of you that work in a less than tax paying district, write the tickets to the violators as well. Hey what's right is right. I for one would not inform the WC what you were doing until it was done because he obviously will try to talk you out of it. I also would take a picture of the car with my phone or soomething else o back you up.

are church goers exempt??????????
ALDERMAN MARY OCONNOR'S NUMBER! CALL EARLY AND CALL OFTEN!!! Call the alderman!!! Even if you did not get a ticket, call and voice your concern with the practice altogether! Make this city seem divided and we will get fair treatment. Abraham Lincoln once said "a house divided cannot stand". If Rahm thinks this city is becoming we will get more favorable dispositions with shit like this. If we sit quietly and take it like the good sheep we will get fucked every chance they get! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! CALL MARY OCONNOR AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THE UNFAIR TREATMENT! WE ARE NOT SECOND CLASS CITIZENS! WE ARE FIRST CLASS CITIZENS AND DEMAND TO BE TREATED AS SUCH!!!

So..... Your plates are expired, but its someone elses fault that you got a ticket. You are the problem. Please, take your business somewhere else. I think we will get by without you.
Parking courtesy comes from officers themselves. They are asked to give it by the supervisors but aren't ordered to. So go out to the 'make believe churches' and start writing. Let your commander non-suit them if he wishes. The law is the law - write em all. And don't forget the revenue writers have to get to the North side somehow right? They sure don't live up there. I'm sure they aren't parked legally when parking is scarce. Don't get me started on the roll-through stop signs.
Since we are on duty 24/7 can we write parking tickets off our duty hours and turn them in at our district when we return to work? Any soon to retire copper(s). Hint Hint.
Funny how i always hear about the south and west side coppers being the "real police" and how hardcore you are but you're gonna come on here and say how you are ASKED to give a parking courtesy and you actuallty DO IT? PLEASE! WErite the damned tickets! What are they gonna do? Send you to the west side? This is exactly why nobody on this job gets anywhere. We will all whine and bitch about what is going on and no-one has the balls to do anything aboutit.
I say, write these west side dogs and see what happens. Eventually, the city is gonna realise that non-suiting the tickets is less profitable than having the revrunds pay. STOP BEING PUSSIES AND ROCK THE DAMNED BOAT ALREADY!!!

Sorry pal, I'm with the revenue hack on this one...I gotta pay up for a valid, registered license plate, then so do you.
If I not mistaken the Dept of Revenue does not operate on Sunday. That was probably a private company. And to answer your question YES they have written tickets to Southside church goers. Not sure about the Westside.
Time to start ticketing the tickers. They ride bike, they must obey the rules of the road. I'm sure they don't stop for stop signs, ect.
If my pension goes in the toilet, I am writing every fucking church on the west side...Non suit..hahahahaha.
That's why I called up the Archdiocese of Chicago and transferred my familia from St. Juliana's to Anshe Sholom B'nai Israel. No more parking tickets, and half a bible is better than none.
In Obama's church on 95th Street, the Rev. Wright, the police parking courtesy was common place, even on the blocks where there is permit parking. Is this still the case? The 006 District could not write tickets.
The issue here is not that there is courtesy parking on the south and west sides, there should be for church. The issue here is why tickets were written on the north side? That should be called into question and reversed, immediately, if indeed this story is true. I have no problem with some courtesy parking on a sunday morning for worship services.
It wouldn't happen on the south side because "The Revs" would complain, and bet your ass downtown listens to them.
The revenue ticket writers hit Northwest Highway in Edison Park all the time on weekends. I think O'Connors office needs to be called. The south or westside alderman would never stand for this in their wards.
If this was Dept of Revenue and not the police then the tapayers of the 41st ward should "occupy" Ald Mary O'Connors office waiting room in order to listen to how the Democratic machine works. Don't worry folks, it will be blamed on LAZ, or the police, or the church for not filling out a request.
Bottom line, the machine has lost control of it's mind. America.
I am a Retired Detective & during the corse of my career I've threaten with death by numerous felons that I put in jail. My wife also has medical needs & needs follow-up treatment every few months. I wonder if I can get around the clock protection on the city's dime & also have armed police officers take my wife to & from her treatments? Did asshole Daley ever put anyone in jail? Did he EARN his salary? I don't think so!
What's good for one citizen is good for everyone!!
With enough parking tickets written and not paid, they can boot all these mutts and make them walk everywhere. Then make sure they have their city stickers and insurance before they can get their car unbooted.
The city is broke due to corruption, you will pay for voting democrat, you will pay dearly.
Detroit, Gary, Buffalo, Jackson Mississippi, all went through what we're going through right now.
The final 'flush' of a productive people from a deteriorating city is when the city itself becomes the enemy, taking more and more of their resources to provide for the 'municipally served' class.
Let there be no doubt... The Emmanuel administration is very much taking advantage of the fact that their jobs are cemented by people who don't pay taxes.
Quit bitching and do something write movers to the DOR people. Wait you say they are on bikes, so what cite them every time they break a traffic law while on a bike.
Anyone got any of those memos or emails from the bosses telling us to extend a parking courtesy to the reverend's churchs? We need it posted on SCC for the media and citizens to see.
I love it. In 007 the church goers get to park on sidewalks and double park and if we were to ticket them all hell would break loose.

Bite me loser. I, too, thank the Revenue ticket writer. You richly deserved the ticket regardless of the agency responsible for writing it and no matter how you try to justify your actions. You got caught having relocated to Chicago and doing your best to avoid buying Illinois plates and a Chicago vehicle windshield sticker? Sux to be you! Loser!
They have been in Garfield Ridge walking 811's beat 2 on a block each side of street,why not the west side,east side,go to englewood they are a bunch of cowards!
Shit the dept of revenue has been Garfield ridge and clearing like crazy the last few weeks...... Even ticketed neighbors car for more then 6 inches from curb. LOL more bleeding of the middle class taxpayers!!!
Were they looking for illegal Aliens?
Strange on the Southside and West side there are notices in the CO books regarding parking and church services.......why isn't the same type of request in the CO book in the 016th district
Its sad when a company like Springfield Armory is located in Illinois, which does not have a concealed carry policy because of Chicago politics. Began manufacture in 1794 and because of their legacy of products we have a free America. Their M1A is one of the most beautiful rifles ever made. Also,their GI .45 1911 pistol is having its centennial anniversary. springfield-armory.com
Now it's our turn to play the race card. Black folks going to church is called courtesy parking. White folks going to church is called easy revenue.
I think maybe its time we don't give a shit about the reverends and Rainbow Push. Write the tickets every Sunday, every day all day. Tuff let them all whine. What are the alderman and city going to do. Threaten our pensions, take away more medical coverage, give a lesser raise. Funny
Welcome to Communism, Comrades. Just another form of Government Re-Distribution of Wealth and reverse racism..
Thats is why I tape "Mass for Shutins" on Cable TV. You can fast forward through the commercials and there is no collection.
If Cops have to pay to park at Court when just doing their jobs, then ALL bets are off. Ticket everyone who parks in a no Parking Zone, period. No favors for us, no favors for them. We are sworn to enforce these Laws and Ordinances. Any Boss who tells us to ignore doing our jobs is NO Copper, and should be immediately CR'd.
LOL - I can assure commenter #3 that the mayor is not going to be found in a church on Sunday.
maybe it's an anti catholic action stemming from an "Emanual admin."?
To the idiot driving around with expired out of state tags, no way did the state police let that slide, it's a great stop, you're telling the police it might be a steal, taken in a kidnapping/robbery or "I'm a bust out dope addict". Whatever the case it's illegal.
I'm not a cop, recently received a ticket in the mail for "parking in a bus zone" at 10 E. Chicago. So supposedly I was parked in front of the McD's/Redline stop at State & Chicago.
I went to the payment place & set up a dispute, then went in during my window. I brought in photos of the area in questions, and told the magistrate that I had never in my life parked there.
I also inquired as to how the ticket was written - since I never parked there, I didn't get one on my car, nor was I pulled over there. He told me the city is not compelled to disclose how I got this.
He asked me if I can swear that I've never in my life parked there, and I said yes - and he still refused to waive it!
He told me I needed to prove I had not commited the infraction - WTF, how can you prove something that never happened? I countered by asking him for the city to prove I had parked there, and once again was told it doesn't have to.
This whole thing is just ass-backwards.
I'd like to thank the Revenue loser working the 17th district for that expired out of state plate ticket.

Aren't bikes governed by the rules of the road? Tickets for failure to stop at the signs. Failure to register the bike, you name it, tag them.
cars while they attended church services at St. Juliana's Church on the 7400 block of W. Touhy.

Security Costs Adding Up For Daley, Burke
10/31/2011 04:56:00 AM
If Tiny Dancer 9.5 had even the smallest amount of honor he would champion the ranks of aldermen and women being cut to 25 and he would notify shanks and slick eddie that, before the end of the year, they must transition to either paying for the total cost of supplying their security, which means people, vehicles, gas, licenses and everything else, or transition to private security.
TD 9.5 wants us all to share the pain, except for the aldermen and women, shanks, and slick eddie. He will cut CFD, CPD and OEMC to the bone, but the alderpeople's number remains at 50. Plus, shanks and slick eddie have had more than enough time to arrange for their own security or to start paying the tab. It has been six months since TD 9.5 took office. Enough is enough.
That's one helluva way to put the arm on the church! What next mace in the confessional?!
Just make sure when you observe them operating their city vehicl the follow all the traffic laws. They are not exempt from following them. Movers will fix the problems real quick.
We have plenty of officers in those south/westside neighborhoods now with "redeployment" and all... so why are we bitching about this here and not using all that "extra" manpower to do the right thing and ticket illegal parkers in ALL neighborhoods. the "community" can complain all they want... who cares, what can they do to us? dump us to a crappy part of the city? ha!!! next sunday, I'm going church to church, with a fresh parker book. Can't wait.
Channel 2 news tonight at 10pm, is doing a report on police writing people tickets, that did nothing wrong. Oh Oh, I hope not another scandal in the works.....
Get copies of the "Requests for Parking Courtesy" letters out of the C.O. Books from the Ghetto Districts.
Get them to Alderman Mary O'Conner; if she fails to take action to protect her people you will know what to do on Election Day. Same thing with police and fire protection, get it in writing.
Get her to put her protests in writing that she opposes reduction in the 16th District and in the Fire Houses that protect the 41st Ward. See what Rahmmy tells her.
Question: What kind of pension will she get for being a one-term alderman?
I received a parking ticket, which I appealed. A few weeks later I received a notice from the city saying I owed $60.00 and had to pay. Two days later I recieved a letter from the appeals board saying I won the appeal. I called revenue to ask why the dent me the notice to pay when I won the appeal. They told me to call my alderman. Only thing is I don't live in the city. Took months to get my $60 back. Guess they don't figure any one will win. So wait until you get the letter from the appeals board, not revenue before you pay.
First of all thank for posting an address of a church were city workers attend? Guess you did not pay attention in T.A.R.A. Training.
Next, why would the mayor's suv be there it's a church not a synagogue?
And finally, Your dam right they would not stand for this in the play churches or south side! Why us, because we did not vote for him, our time is slowly coming with this jagoff...
What are they doing on Sunday,oh let's see,They"re at Church. Ok,stick it up their @$$, we can't get them in front of their houses....wait unless the city sticker isnt two inches from the bottom and if there is two stickers,OMG it's obstructed view,don't forget cracked wind shields and expired plates,now get those speeding cameras up every where so we can stick it every which way in their @$$'$ ,poof poof your pictures taken,this has really turned out to be a great shitty to live in,if your rich and money doesnt matter!
Write them all black, brown, white we need the money !!!!!!
I have seen these "Revenue people" give out all kinds of parking tickets on Christmas Day in 019 District on 3000 block of Lincoln Ave. Next to a big Catholic Church having Christmas Morning Mass!
When Revenue Ticket writer was confronted about writing tickets on Christams Day, his response was even God has to follow the laws!
Revenue gives out tickets because the Police have enough sense and discretion to NOT ticket church goers!
FACT!
FYI received from church today..
Parking Alert
On Sunday, October 30, representatives from the City of Chicago Department of Revenue issued parking tickets to cars parked on Touhy Avenue during masses.
Although Touhy Avenue is in fact a posted no-parking zone, the City has historically not issued tickets to vehicles parked on Touhy during masses or special events. Consequently, our parishioners and visitors are in the habit of parking along both sides of Touhy Avenue.
It's unfortunate that we did not receive advance warning of the no-parking enforcement in time to advise you of the change. Father Steve has already been in touch with Alderman O'Connor's office about removing or modifying the parking ban to accommodate our mass times, funeral services and special events.
In the meantime, please do NOT park on Touhy Avenue at any time or you may receive a parking ticket.
Why are there no parking meters in 015 along Madison St, or over by Central and Lake. By the amount of vehicular traffic, these seem to business districts....???..???
depends where on the southside ur talking about....rahm has had his goon squad in the 19th ward since the day he took office...guess it s payback for being one of the wards not to carry this asshole into office....
I saw one this morning boy can he run fast I almost missed him with my car..016 dist...touhy overhill
that was an early Halloween trick to the northside tax payers from rahmbo
Cut shortshanks security team and drivers!
The taxpayers have no agreement nor any obligation to provide him and his wife with services into perpetuity. He is no longer the mayor and provides no value for the money being spent.
The same goes for the aldermans bodyguards and drivers. We are setting a precedent here and if iw allow it continue we can only expect to see the other 49 alderman wanting theirs too.
END IT NOW RAHM! END IT NOW!
Don't come crying come union contract time that there's no money and we're broke looking for concessions preaching how we are all in this together and shared sacrifice b.s. Stop the irresponsible spending and these things that the taxpayers have no obligation to provide!
Just received a memo form SJ on Touhy warning us of he tickets that were written and not t park on Touhy
Writing tickets to church patrons is never done. That's just asking for operation rainbow to show up in he district.
I do it every Sunday at least 10 tickets, the WC told me to stop, I told him that if they were parked illegal they were going to get tickets and that he could non suit them. Guess what I still write them and he never had the balls to non suit a one. Come on cars parked on the sidewalk, handicap and fire hydrent and you say give them a break. With your logic everyone has a valid excuse. Thats the way we roll on the South Side.
OT. Attn: 016 Residents...Just saw a m/wh drive the wrong way down N Parkside at Seminole. Jumped from his car, and grab a f/wh, drag her back to his car and proceed to beat the f--- out of her in the car. I call 911 and gave the location and circumstances and the plate number. The Off saw me and stayed in the car parked at Seminole and Parkside. I waited for the police for 10 minutes and called again. The call taker said "Oh, I thought you said "7 -0 and Parkside" ( not sure if same call taker). No Police! Called again after 25 min and reported Off was fleeing N/b on Central. No Police as I waited 10 more minutes. Where is 016?. At Taft, Foreman? Roll Call? Probably a BS Hispanic gangbanger domestic but who knows. I am retired. I had my piece but don't have a card. No matter, no Backup. I hope it turns out all right, but we'll never know unless she turns up dead. Need more Police in 016! Old Retired Police.
Couldn't Trust DALEY!!!
Can't AFFORD RHAM!!!!
Is this still the case? The 006 District could not write tickets.
That is because the church is actually in 22.
They've been out everyday in the business area at 103rd & Longwood in 22.
MCarthy getting even for all the resentment on here?
You reap what you sow!

Now that s funny!! Do they do that on the west-side! LOL now thats funny.
Are you kidding? Write a ticket to one on the congregations flock for No City Sticker & expired plates? If you have the balls to to your just asking for trouble. Been there done that. Church vans arent exempt from have current plates, and a City Sticker.
There be a lot of churches in 011!
I say...
Write the GYPSY CHURCH parkers at Foster and Elston (Some BIG money SUV's with rimmed up rides) probably obtained from the burglaries and identity thefts done over time!
Mostly there on Sunday nights and afternoons ...Avalanches and Escalades galore!

Why can't you write the tickets? Afraid of losing some precious spot? Stop being a pussy and write the ticket if they are in violation of the law. Let them bring in the tickets to the Commander and let him non-suit all those tickets. Stand up and be a man/police and do your job.

Sorry...thats a Non-Starter right there.
First thing that will happen after you ticket a Revenue Bike PEA is the Director of Revenue is going to call your CO and Demand copies of Each and Every Citation you have Ever Issued to non-City Employee Cyclists for the past year.
Then their Dept of Security will process a CR against you for Harassment.
Then the Union will file a Civil Suit on the PEA's behalf.
Then the PBA will throw you in front of the bus.

===============================
Well the city was unwilling or unable to arrest and fine enough of the occupy wall streeters. So what did you expect?
300 protestors at $500 a pop only gives you $150K! so of course we need to write more tickets picking and choosing how and who the laws are applied to so that the money can then be applied to the make believe so-called obligations that the taxpayers should not and really do not have.
Going to have to waste a lot more man power and resource to be able to generate that kind of money.
I suggest that you sell your vehicles and walk. Deny the city and the state its wasteful slush funds for the clouted. No more city sticker money. No more parking permit money. No more license plate money.
No more bullshit tows by United Road Towing that damages your vehicle like they did mine, playing games with processing claim bullshit until the statute of limitations runs out then tells you to eff-off.
The city that works is not working for me. The alderman don't care, the mayor don't care, 311 doesn't care and the inspector general don't care. I've wrote them all.
So now you don't get ANY revenue. Zip, zero, none and I only hope more will do the same.
It's not the politicians jobs to pick the winners and losers. They are doing so with the corporations deciding who gets a tax break and who doesn't and they are doing it with these phony parking violations giving one group a break and then laying out for others.
Throw each and every one of these career politicians out of office and give some one else a change. The clout I'm sure is nice as long as you are on the receiving end. Just remember though with the moral standards that they abide by they will throw each and every one of you under the bus if they fear themselves are in jeopardy.
Remember this come voting time. Register, vote, and get these people out!

10/31/2011 08:48:00 AM
Troller. A real LEO would know the answer.
My mother and father got a ticket Sunday by St J's. To say both were were upset would be an understatement. Approximately one foot of the rear of their car was past the no parking sign at the end of the block. I told my folks that I'd take care of it in an attempt to calm them down. I knew getting it non suited was impossible, but my dad is old-so when I said I'd fix it, he assumes one thing, but in all actuality I'm going to pay it.
I went to the Alderman's office because I couldn't get through on the phone. Either the lines were put on hold or many others were calling to express their outrage.
I spoke to an aide and she said the Alderman has no standing to intervene in this.
I told the aide, that I'd pay the fine and then told the aide to give this message to the alderman: "No more will I give a parking courtesy to any religious organization when it is requested. If the city wants to ticket 80 year old people at Mass, when other churches, synagogues and mosques get an official or unofficial pass, so be it."
Fuck them all, write them all. Mosques have major prayers on Friday afternoon, those fuckers park all over the place, city stickers from all over the area. Jewish folks either pray on Friday night or Saturday morning. The very religous ones don't drive on those days, so you may not be able to find parkers up north in the black hatter part of town. We all know about the MB churches and storefront churches on the west and south, but not let us forget the Latino churches (especially Slim Coleman's-a major police hater) that slam us all they can.
It is time to show our muscle to this little asshole Rhammie.

And what exactly do you write them for if they are legally parked????
10/31/2011 08:03:00 AM
City sticker. If they are parked on city streets for an extended period of time, they have to get a city sticker. The beat cop would know how often they are parked there.
Emanuel = Beelzebub
I have a serious question to ask about one of the recourses people are suggesting.
Say I stop one of these DOR hacks on their bike breaking a traffic law, and they shockingly don't possess a DL. TVB or what? Because there are only so many MCC bicycle violations, when you can hit them with every traffic law in 625 ILCS.
Anyone ever TVB a bicyclist?
To Hell with the churches and mosques and synagogues. Write the tickets. And why parking courtesy for a nightclub at North and Damen every weekend? Payoffs to the alderman perhaps? Write them too. Maybe the cmdr should explain to the feds why that business is so fortunate.

You don't have a ghetto

-------------------------------------
No, because you took a job as a police officer in a cop hating town called Chicago. Liberals have flocked here from small farms to west coast cities, they have secured jobs in the courts, media, radio, schools, and law firms, and IPRA. West side, south side to North side and even the suburb folks have people who support us. Citizens enjoy our protection but it does not count, they have no voice, for it has it been hijacked by many out of state liberals, they provide a daily attack upon this department.
Don't you realize the tv and radio mdiea will go on and on, "look at this officer parking illegally" "officer why did you park illegally" "Super is it common practice outside the training academy for recruits to park illegally, and break the law" along with photos. Get it. Its acceptable by the cities elite for churches, schools, and alderman to park illegally, but not the police. Remember a few years back he city wanted us to park squad cars going to bank robberies & Domestics legally.
Touhy and Overhill. That area is the new "ghetto" of 016.
Write those slugs tickets and end the section 8 giveaways on Touhy.
It wreaks of K-9 Cloutbabies family and the way they get back at people.
Received a memo from St Juliana and it mentioned the tickets. Its true ! A large amount of tickets written, mostly to older church goers for parking in a no parking zone on Sunday morning. People have been parking there for over 30 yrs. Call the Alderwoman NOW !
RE: RAHM TAX.........

Stop catering to these churches. WRITE THEM! Who cares what it says in the c.o. book the law is the law. You already work in the ghetto and it doesn't seem like you will be getting promoted anytime soon.

It is time to start writing tickets for every offender - no matter where they are parked or for what event.
Pay no attention to the requests to "give 'em a pass"
Write the ticket. The retirement fund needs the revenue. The City needs the revenue.
Above all, Daley's goon squad needs the revenue!
WRITE THOSE TICKETS WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
The more parking tickets, the better.
Hell no. The west side churches get "courtesy" parking that allows them to double and triple park their cars along main streets like Chicago ave. Try writing them a ticket, you'll get an earful from caps and a direct order to non-suit from upstairs.
Well just to follow up about calling for police in 016 and not getting a car for a domestic. I called Alderman Arena
Today about the lack of officers in the 016th district. He Informed me that a few years ago 016 had approximately 350 officers, and today it's around 180. One of the largest if not the largest district in the city and only 180 officers is disturbing. He further informed me the current administration has been doing a good job with distributing resources from desks back to districts but 016 hasn't been given officers because of the low crime rate. FYI I checked the one of the smallest districts, Englewood which is 20 blocks by 20 blocks approximately and they have around 500 members assigned, how sad is that. I say we should just keep telling everyone we know to call his office And complain everyday. Burglaries are up 12 percent and look what happened to the little girl in Indian head park who walked in on a burglar. Property crimes have the potential for violence and adequet police response is detrimental to everyone's safety. Its not the officers in 016 as much as lacking the manpower. We need to get our voices heard, everyone start calling maybe it will help
If your afraid of writing the tickets, tell the WC or commander a citizen stopped you and demanded you write the tickets and enforce the law
I have to ask....
Why does this even matter to a Cop?
If Revenue or Ser Co is out ticketing cars that are illegally parked, they are doing their job.
You shouldn't expect to get away with parking bad "Just because you are at Church."
A City Worker that likes Cops
Some District Commanders are getting payoffs by churches to discourage ticket writing enforcement on Sundays. IAD, Where are U ??
That new alderman does not give two sh-ts. She says one thing then does another. I voted for her once but never again. Go ahead and complain... She will listen then do nothing like the good little politician she is.
Those Revenue bloodsuckers are always trolling Forest Glen, too. Everytime I see one of them I ask them why they aren't on the west or south sides. One actually told me "no revenue collected there and I'd get shot at." Unbelievable.
But targeting the white taxpayers isn't racist.
First of all thank for posting an address of a church were city workers attend? Guess you did not pay attention in T.A.R.A. Training.
10/31/2011 02:11:00 PM
First of all stroke do you think that's the only church that cops and city workers attend? I'm a cop and attend a different church along with many other city workers. And guess what my neighbor is a cop and attends a totally different church than those two? So the point is if they are going to bomb a church of city workers they can pick any church in the city. And guess what they can get the addresses from the phone book or the internet. Get out of your cave and live a little bit. It's not secret information. If they plan on bombing you they will since this city has no plan of attack and couldn't handle a disaster.

Every week Furama Chinese Restaurant and Banquet hall call 021 for Parking Consideration! Every weekend...and we do it....A BANQUET HALL WHERE THERE IS NO PARKING?????? Let them buy the lot across the street and pave it or don't pave it, but this is ridiculous. Don't want to offend anyone though!!!! WTF
Unfortunately, we have too many morons on the job that believe that writing "any" type of citation is beneath them. They don't have to answer any calls and check off with a bus check or a contact card and call that police work.
OT I was recently at an event and ran into a Commander that I know. Asked him about the stations closing and did he really think it would happen and he stated yes and the reason BECAUSE NO ONE IS COMPLAINING !!!!! I guess you get what you ask for. This City could care less about anything because no one can come together for anything. And if you think that show in Springfield was a show ... 3 buses???? How many coppers on this job? We all think someone else will take care of it. And that is what the Tiny Dancer is counting on! Keep it up!
HaHaHa. I'll be promoted to an exempt spot before saloon owner and 41st ward Alderman Mary O'Connor gets off her ass to redress her constituents beef with the parkers issued at St. Julianas Catholic Church. But hey, you and yours voted for her. And you also voted for that underemployed lawyer John Mulroe who's very first vote cast in the state senate was to increase your state income tax! Want to guess which way this mope voted on the issue of capital punishment? Oh, you'd rather not guess? Ignorance is bliss, and the westside turkeys have turned the far northwest side into an awful blissful place! You reap what you sow. Well got to run before last call at the Heritage Center!

tiny dancer 9.5 received a parking ticket the other day on michigan ave and cried to the commander of public transportation and just like that it was like it never ever happened.
It would be kind of amusing if the oppressed tax payers in 016 took a page out of the West Side playbook and started *ahem* expressing their displeasure and what not to give these contract ticket writers a taste of home...
Not that we condone such... But we would understand the hell out of it.
People everywhere are saying "Alright, enough! This isn't funny anymore."
Bullshit on "we don't go in da hood cuz ain't no revenue."
We'll bet you a Fat Man on Friday that there's the equivalent of the municipal budget shortfall x2 that is uncollected on the streets of the West & South Sides but the revenue mouth-breathers are sent to extort the people who contribute something besides grief & aggravation...

FYI I checked the one of the smallest districts, Englewood which is 20 blocks by 20 blocks approximately and they have around 500 members assigned, how sad is that. I say we should just keep telling everyone we know to call his office And complain everyday. Burglaries are up 12 percent and look what happened to the little girl in Indian head park who walked in on a burglar. Property crimes have the potential for violence and adequet police response is detrimental to everyone's safety. Its not the officers in 016 as much as lacking the manpower. We need to get our voices heard, everyone start calling maybe it will help

Englewood 007 is not the smallest police district. 015 and 023 are much smaller. 015 has over 360 coppers assigned to it.
023 has the GAY LAKEFRONT VOTE!
Alderman Arena has been more responsive than his predecessor Pat Levar to ward complaints but he must do MORE on police allocation.
016 is turning into the ghetto very rapidly. There is a huge increase in burglary and theft from auto, alot is not reported either. The gangs are here and so are the drugs.
There are over 5,400 CPD officers who reside in 016. John Garrido still could not get elected Alderman. The Republican Ward Committeeman Dave Haynes just stepped down, Dave is a Sgt.
We need to become more pro-active on every level. Is John Garrido running for Ward Committeeman?
When will Alderman Arena and Alderman O'Connor standup at City Council and demand our police and fire protection levels be maintained?
Some District Commanders are getting payoffs by churches to discourage ticket writing enforcement on Sundays. IAD, Where are U ??

Stop with the ridiculous "IAD where are you" bullshit! Learn the job, Sally. Give up what you ALLEGE to know, put your name down as the complainant or blame no one but yourself! IAD is not, nor has it ever been a proactive unit. Do you really want it to be?!?!? Didn't think so.
We get ticketed too in Hyde Park and we are a mix race community. Not ghetto like one commentator said of all minority neighborhoods.
Who the fuck are you kidding?
The north side is ticketed with a ferocity that is unmatched.
And we all know why!
Do you need a hint, or are you too stupid to figure it out..
"everybody has an excuse being catholic shouldn't be one for breaking the law office"
The point of this is we give breaks to worshipers of other faiths at other churches, why shouldn't these people get a break, too?
If you truly believe that certain churches don't get a break on parking, take a rife down Sacramento some Sunday...wall-to-wall illegally parked cars & never a ticket to be seen.
O'Connor has done nothing proactive in any way for the 41st ward so far. She goes so far as to hide public meetings from the Ward.
Her Facebook page is patrolled with SS-like precision, any critical comment, even "uncomfortable" questions, are removed within minutes!
It's either the mark of a person who has no idea of what she is doing, or someone who knows EXACTLY what she is doing. Either way, this ward will literally pay in every way possible.
Keep voting Democrat in IL. UGH!
Called the Alderhacks office this afternoon (31 Oct) and they said that this the first the office heard of it! She then said to park in the Church lot because you can not park illegally As far as TVBing a bike I did it years ago just put the bike in the trunk of the car. I believe you now can write them a summons on an ANOV for various violations.
