FOP Sues Sun Times
- The Fraternal Order of Police is suing both the city and the Sun-Times over the publishing of photo lineups that included the names and faces of police officers with former Mayor Richard Daley’s nephew and his friends.
The Sun-Times published the photos in Monday’s newspaper with an article about how the lineups were conducted. The lineups included several police officers, then-Mayor Daley’s nephew, Richard J. Vanecko, and two of Vanecko’s friends.
[...] The paper also published the names of the officers in the lineup, along with their height, weight, hair color, eye color and dates of birth.
The lawsuit, filed Monday, alleges the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) had reason to expect the city would not release the photos and the Sun-Times would not publish them. It also claims the city was in breach of contract because of a shared collective-bargaining agreement, and that the city should have prevented the Sun-Times from publishing the photos.
Once again, idiots in charge of the Department who never read or lived by a contract, making decisions in violation of that agreement and as a result, may end up costing the city hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Doesn't Mayor Emaneul look like the blue guy from the Wiggles , Anthony?? He and Supt. Jenny McCarthy are quite a team.
Again, a decision made on the advice provided within the pages of "Jpud's Guide to Deplete Morale".
(However I still think there's a cover-up)
Why would the city release line-up photos anyway? Are they subject to FOIA requests? I wouldn't think so. Investigative files and parts therein are usually only released to opposing attys per trial and procedure rules. Where did they get the photos???? Did the city really release them?
MAN! I wished it were me!
I smell a "six figure $$$" settlement by the City!
This City is run by idiots!

I feel sorry for the murdered victims family in this case, they never thought that after there son is laid out on the street from a vanecko punch, they would have to go through the "chicago way" of political stonewalling, disregard for the law, absolutely no help from the attorney general, states attorney, or any clouted, scared to do the right thing police detectives on up. And of course, the F.B.I. can't even save us from the stench, even though they know chicago is the most corrupt political city in the country. We feel your pain.
It is 100% the dept's fault. Those officer's personal data is now out for everyone to see.
It is also time to show the media in this town what we can do when they do us wrong intentionally.
Time to ticket news trucks (not the delivery drivers in the early morning)
Yet ANOTHER reason not to participate in lineups! Detectives get d2 pay for a reason...let them earn it. Idid a lineup once (last time) and was left alone, unarmed and unsupervised in a room with 3 cobra gang bangers who started in with me cuz i wasnt one of them. After everything was all said and done, i asked the dicks what the fuck and they laughed and busted my balls about being a pussy! Fuck that...never again!
Since when does Rahm honor content contracts? just ask the teachers he BF'd with their ungiven raise last summer.
Any retiree who continues to pay FOP union dues to a non union is softer than puppy shit. They are wasting your dues money on bullshit lawsuits instead of using it for a better cause! WTG FLOP!!
Not sure about the details, but I worked CTA last week, we were assigned to 018 and 1. I heard there was a guy in 018 who put himself in for honorable mentions for shoplifters on Michigan Ave caught and detained by store security. Any thought or facts to this?
The Fop is worthless. For crying out loud if anyone was at the last meeting or read the article in the November newsletter by Jim Mccarthy you would know. There is a full page article about 2 police supervisors a Lt and Sgt thqt took their team to eat at a fancy eyewitness house while on duty hoping for a discount. The Lt and Sgt along with their team didn't get their discount and had a huge bill. UN order to vent their frustration one supervisor opens a can of mace and sprays the plqce as he leaves. Now here we have our FOP defending these white shirt asshats whom each have a disciplinary history at our meeting as well as in a full page article in the November letter.
Can someone tell me who the hell is in charge over there making decisions? Is this really the case we want to defend and go after ipra with? We are all doomed. The clouted yet again slide by. Amazing what running McCormick place.security will get you out of. This is an embarrassment to anyone in uniform and down right disgusting for our Fop to even contemplate.
With the exception of the shill in the middle that was a great guess who threw the sucker punch at the loud mouthed sawed off runt physical lineup!!
Each individual copper should sue the paper as well.
Reading the morning headlines here is like watching a bad mobster movie. Rahm's taken to talking through clenched teeth at his media gatherings-he's starting to resemble Jimmy Cagney.

Another Reason I stopped buying/reading this rag that is staffed by minions of the mayors office and out and out Morons ! The same goes for the tribune.
They both can go out of business and really wouldn't be missed by many at all !
It won't be long untill the CPD is rated underneath some second rate security agencies.
I'm so happy to be retired. The department is being run by people who never would have made it past the testing stage when the deptartment had Pride, Integrity, and Guts.
With all the winners and their "merit promotions" I'm expecting that examinations to join the dept will be abolished. All new members will be appointed by "Merit" LOL, LOL !!!!!!!
Oy Vey, such a situation we got here !!!!
Hope the officers in the photo collect. Fuck the city and the Slum Times
It will be great to be a white offender in the city. Detectives won't be able to get any fillers. Case will be CI'd and XCC.
Makes you wonder about the DNA they take from handguns too.
Trust me, I'm from the government. You have nothing to worry about.
Yea, but who was that handsome fellow on the far right of the line up?? Should be the next Mayor, I tell ya!
Lawsuit? Dream on. The FOP blows. It's not even a real union.
Am currently visiting my soldier son for his birthday and Thanksgiving on the east coast. Chicago seems so pathetic, stupid and disgusting from this vantage point.
This is welcomed news from FOP Lodge 7.
By the way, I stopped by the FOP store, 1412 W. Washington Blvd. this morning. Ted and Ina told me that due to large demand, they just got in another 200 of the 2 inch challenge coins from Fr. Tom Nangle's retirement party.
The minimum donation is $10. ALL proceeds will be given to our brother Bill Cozzi.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
NICE JOB FOP!!! I had written off your usefulness not too long ago, but THIS is the kind of thing that needs to happen from our union..No one else will look out for us, so thanks!
Wish I was in those pictures!$$
From the comments section:
“It reminds us that we must redouble our efforts to ensure the integrity of our officers."-Garry McCarthy
Sure Gary your about integrity but then why are you pushing the Detectives to Ex Clear crime on threat of getting dumped out of their assignment. Run up the number of clearences or get dumped
11/21/2011 11:16:00 PM
Where I work it is the same thing. Hurry arrests along, arrest with the thinnest of evidence, or XCC. The push is really on. Anybody else experiencing this? It sure would account for the new 'magic' crime numbers that show crime is dropping, dropping, dropping!
I am documenting every single thing a supervisor says to me, with time and date, and who was present.
I almost agree with this entirely. With the exception of this... How does a copper working a side job on TV as a Jerry springer security guard for the past decade have any expectation of privacy? He has openly played the look at me card his entire career. The other police deserve to be paid but not Hollywood
I like the feistiness of the FOP but I don't want them to get sidetracked and lose focus. We are under attack from Rahm and that's only going to intensify as contract time rolls around. Rahm would love to reduce us to moderately paid civil servants with sub par healthcare and sub par pension.
The FOP needs to be ever vigilant and line up all their ducks in a row.
I'm not sure about the logic or legal basis for suing the Sun Times except making Mikey a hero to parts of his constituency, but the lawsuit against the city for violating the contract has merit.
By the way I love the word "merit".
I was thinking that someone with as little talent as me must be in line for some "merit" promotions very soon.
I'd like to be promoted twice quickly and then exempted into the position of 42nd Precinct Commander.
Yes, I know we call them districts and that we don't have that many, but does Sup "Shoots out Streetlights" know that?
It's about time the FOP did something.
It's good to see some of our own will get paid.
Yeah, I thought somebody looked familiar.
Good. I hope the city loses a shitload of money. At least the money will go to one of us and not some dog ass ghetto lottery winner.
Rahm authorized the release of the photos. Says so in the Sun-Times article. FOP should have his name at the top of the lawsuit.
/grabs popcorn and beer
This should be interesting.
Hundreds of thousands??
MILLIONS!!
Wish I was in that line up...$50,000 could come very handy these days. That's if FOP wins.
Rahm and McPuppet couldn't care less about our contract or possible future repercussions. Rahm is hellbent on doing whatever he wants to do. He's your classic egomaniacal bully.

Democrats are now collectively freaking out because they are realizing that Obama has no chance. Once again I call for the FOP to print Chicago's Biggest Thieves map of the stars that leads them to every alderman's house as well as Richie, Burke and Rhamberg's house and the Union league Club where their bitches all hang out.
Freedom of Information Act. A lineup is not secret, attorney's can get all of it upon request. With black or hispanic offenders, there are always enough bodies in lockup. So they use prisoners normally. With 6 ft 2 white guys, usually not. So they use cops. Don't want your information out there, don't stand as filler in a lineup.
Any thought or facts to this?

The fact is there are no thoughts.
That's what happens when a civilian is running the news affairs dept. Bet Ms. Hamilton is back in LA looking for a job before the end of the year.

After reading the case reports that little bastard got what was coming.
OT: Chicago's Upcoming CME Tax Break.
First there was the half billion dollar Solyndra scandal -- now there's the MF Global scandal that the CME Group is sucked into.
(nice to see ol' shortshanks in that video too at the link below. they are all "close friends")
----------------------------
The CME Group once boasted "No customer has ever lost a penny as a result of a clearing member default at CME Group"
Except..... now it appears that's not true any more, right?
The "Trends Journal" says it has uncovered critical information that - in light of the MF Global bankruptcy - casts doubt on the fitness of CME Group to serve as a trustworthy derivatives and commodities exchange, and on the credibility of its Executive Chairman, Terence Duffy.
The "Trends Journal" says not only has the scandalous MF Global bankruptcy (the eighth-largest in US history) wreaked financial havoc on thousands of individuals, it has single-handedly destroyed faith in the commodity markets. CME's reputation as the financial Rock of Gibraltar, upon which the commodity markets are anchored, has now been undermined. By its recent actions, CME's claim of being committed to guaranteeing the transactions undertaken by its members has been called into question.
As recently as 2010, Terrence Duffy boasted, "No customer has ever lost a penny as a result of a clearing member default."* Moreover, in the same press conference, Duffy stated unequivocally, "Since we are the guarantor of every transaction that happens in our markets, we have to guarantee the performance of each and every one of these contracts ... To do this, we hold more than $100 billion of collateral to support the transactions that are being done on our markets."

And we are about to give these people a tax break?!
I'm not a fan of the union, I did not vote for Shields and I think he has shown weakness however, can we please stop bashing him when he actually acts on our behalf. He is damed if he does and damed if he doesn't.
I agree that you have to be careful in deciding what cases you take action on, (spending union money) but in this case I don't think it's such a terrible decision.
I don't love our leadership but you and I have a vested interest at stake and failure is not something we should wish upon him or our union.
This was sent as a comment on FOX News:
Since Rahm and Daley, McCarthy and Weis pulled police out of white areas protecting the people that pay taxes there are fewer white criminals arrested and therefore fewer white subjects to act as "shills" in line-ups.
People in Chicago are losing the police protection they are paying for and we are headed for very bad times.
Please go to www.cityofchicago.org and contact your alderman to HIRE MORE POLICE and PAY THEM WHAT THEY ARE WORTH.
They should have used a photo line up. Police should never be used. Daley for seen this, and that's why he used police. The public has a right to see wrong doing. We should not be put in the middle. I'm sure these officer's never new who the bad guy in the line up was? Chicago works!
OT: More on MF Global and the CME Group being on the hook for missing customer funds.
I ask you who's really going to pick up these losses? Follow the money trail.
MF Global has $1,2 billion dollars in customer funds missing. The CME Group apparently has to cover those losses and the Illinois tax payers are looking to give the CME Group $100 million/year tax break.
and now there's all this...

McCarthy is a lawyer with no trial or court experience . He was elected to the FOP and lost for a reason. He is a great guy with a heart as big as both his feet combined but he is incompetent when it comes to down to any legal matter.
Let Mr Emmanuel know how you feel and exercise you're right to a peaceful assembly outside his house at 4228 N Hermitage.
Anyone can get police investigative files, if the case is not active, by filing a freedom of information request. The reports will come heavily redacted. Tnen you have to go to court to have the redactions questioned. As long as the case is under investigation, the department can refuse to release the files.Of course, a subpeona by an attorney who is suing will also get the files with no redactions. it will be interesting if this suit goes anywhere. The press has a lot of leeway when it comes to public information and printing it. Don't forget, just about everyone has a camera out there and I am sure many police officers are on home movies. I really do not think anyone is going to get any money over this and I would be willing to bet the suit is dismissed.
I may be wrong but if the city gets a FOIA request from the Sun Times dont they have to release the lineup photos? As far as the Sun Times goes, I cant stand them but legally why can't they publish the photos if they were legally acquired thru the FOIA request. Seems to me a losing case and alot of FOP money down the drain
Why would the FOP represent the Lt and Sgt. in their CR? I know a FEW supervisors are members but would be interesting to see if they were FOP members on the date of the incident or joined shortly thereafter
Seems strange all the interest and publicity in the newsletter from the FOP when supervisors are involved

Compstat is gonna change, Sup is gonna look at manpower, is tired of just being feed number of pos assigned, he can get those numbers himself. He is gonna look (and question) at prductivity. He's been harping about getting contact cards to keep criminals busy and how arrests take officers off the street too long. He wants to know who isn't working and how the commanders are addressing it. Make sure your lowest productivity officers weren't KIA.
McStup wants everyone to work as a team and be more productive (see new PAX 501).
His compstat crew is identifying who isn't part of the program. They took a random sample and put their giant brains together and brainstormed why one POs activity suddenly dropped, was she on furlough, medical, light duty, no to all. they decided maybe she had some personal problems and started looking at how that was being addressed. Finally after playing twenty questions (is she a good worker, does she seem depressed...) with the watch secretary they figured it out, she was the acting time keeper while he was on furlough.
Is Rahm going to the C.P.D. vs C.F.D. hockey game? I have over 20 yrs on the job and have NO problems sitting with my C.F.D. brothers/ neighbors...FUCK RAHM and how about inviting Newt?

Go ahead and try to find enough white guys in every lockup in the city to fill this lineup. It's going to have to be coppers.
And every person who is in the lineup is well documented, and those records are readily available.
Yes, the media once again proves what scumbags they are, but for Christ's sake, one of those clowns has been Jerry Springer's body guard and on TV for years now. He's not exactly undercover.

And what's the name of that hack that is in charge at O'Hare?
R.A.
I understand and agree with this lawsuit but there really are more important issues the FLOP should be fighting for and making newsworthy. Looks like you forgot why you won the election Mike Sheilds....
I THINK WE ARE FUCKED ONCE AGAIN.
I/F
the dicks have a new format all ready for the combined areas.
CLOSED VICTIM REFUSED TO ANSWER CALL.
CLEARANCE RATES WILL BE GREAT AND PATTERNS WILL CONTINUE WITH NO CONVICTIONS EVERYONE IS HAPPY!
EXCEPT THE DICKS FROM AREA 5 WHO WILL NOW DRIVE TO AREA 2!
POOR SAPS
@6.31pm,,,,I was thinking movers, not parkers--ASSBITE!
Like what we did with the Ch5 drivers, reporters and producers after they showed video of "Sleeping Cops: Protecting You?" circa 1993.
They all laid off us after a flurry of tickets.
it says in the Scum Times - Daley refused to release them - Lisa Madigan agreed to release them w/ Vaneckos face blurred - and the Tiny Dancer just released the lineup flatout w/o a fight
Thanks Rahm

Let Mr Emmanuel know how you feel and exercise you're right to a peaceful assembly outside his house at 4228 N Hermitage.

I seem to recall it being illegal to picket a politicians residence
11/22/2011 11:00:00 PM
A city ordinance prohibits ...
"Residential Picketing"
Why doesn't the Slum Times mention that prior to surrendering to Area 3 for a line-up , Vanecko shaved his head. Just axin'
my sgt came up to me and had the balls to question why my gun recovery's were down. he asked me if it sounded right that i only had 5 recovery's in the past month and that i needed to step it up. i replied "i was on furlough for 22 days". what a dumb fuck
Ha. Youre the dumbfuck for still doing weapon recoveries. You gain nohing from it.
"...with the watch secretary they figured it out, she was the acting time keeper while he was on furlough.
11/22/2011 08:14:00 PM
Ummm. Does this mean that McSup needs watch secretaries? I thought that position was eliminated about a year ago or so..?.?.?
Didn't think so, the bonding officer will handle it all.
They already lost the restraining order... doesn't look too much better on the lawsuit.
We won't see much of Shields until he decides what political office he's going to run for... Then just like with the pension board, everytime you'll see him will be in front of a camera...
He don't give a F--- about us, just what he can get by using the FLOP as a stepping stone, glad I'm retired, you guys are screwed!
My guess is if Rahm authorized the release of the photos, he received legal opinions from the corporation counsel that legally he had a right to do so. He may not have had to do so, but was legally right to do so if he wanted. Adding his name to the suit adds noything. Allready the jusge refused an immediate injunction request from the FOP Hope FOP wins, but dont see this as a winner
Have a question and I'm not picking sides, but if the dets need people for a lineup, why do they ask po's? Can't they just have dets from their unit stand the lineup, they are already in plain clothes.
Jim McCarthy has never practiced law inside a courtroom. He got his degree while working at City Hall and has never had a case. There are plenty of wannabes with a certificate on this job who probably last in their class and couldn't get picked up by a firm letcalone by the city leaving them worthless He's a hack plain and simple and is arguing a loser with two idiots who couldn't pay a bill one time out of 20
Don't expect much from a F.O.P lawsuit.All the competent attorneys that worked there have bailed out.All that's left is that pompous,incompetent surfer boy from California who could'nt find shit in his mustache.

Tell your Sgt. to put his BS quota on paper or go recover his own guns. A gun without a head is just a waste of paper. I try to recover 0 guns each year.

Oh...so there is a difference? The Delivery Drivers are just as bad as the Camera Truck drivers.
I am just a po with 10 hours of law school credit.. this case is a loser from word go.. can't show damages.

First the detectives holding the lineup must locate persons who fit the description of the offender - have similar characteristics, height, weight, hair color, tattoos, etc. - in order for the lineup to be fair.
Second there is a good chance that the witnesses and/or victims who are going to view the lineup have already seen most of the detectives on the floor during the several times they were in the detective division being interviewed. That would not be a fair lineup.
Lineup fillers do not have to be police, but they are doing it more often because it is extremely difficult to find non criminal citizens who are willing to stand in a lineup.
All that's left is that pompous,incompetent surfer boy from California who could'nt find shit in his mustache.

so, are you saying that your mustache is where you are always successful at finding shit?

it puts the lotion in the basket, or it gets the hose, again.
