County Rifle Sting Goes Wrong
A lawful gun owner, attempting to follow the rules and conduct a private sale, is detained without cause because some politician wants a headline:
- BEWARE OF THE COOK COUNTY SHERIFF
I had a rifle on armslist that I was looking to dump, nothing important. When I received a email from a buyer telling me they wanted to purchase the rifle. We exchanged phone numbers. I received a text last friday asking me to meet the buyer. I was working, but wasn't busy.
They wanted to meet in Oak Park, I said NO WAY.
They recommended a different spot. I agreed, the Portillos on Roosevelt and DesPlanes. There is a gun range a couple of blocks from there that I thought would be a better place but, it was Friday and I was more afraid of rush hour then I was of the location.
Long story short, it smelled and looked wrong. the car was a pick up with black windows. I'm thinking gangbanger. When I pull up two guys get out of the car, but they are both older white guys. They didn't match the car. They look over the rifle, but when it comes time to sign the paper work, the guy doesn't have a FOID card. He tells me he has a domestic arrest.
I tell him I can't sell him the rifle, he offers more money, I reject his offer. He keeps try. I keep saying NO.
Next thing I know, there are 50 cops surrounding me, they are searching my car, and handcuffing me and toss me in the back of a car.
Within 15 minutes I'm in the Maywood sheriff station. They are asking where I live, how many guns do I own, how many I've sold. The experience was rough and distressing. I didn't want to answer any questions.
All I can think is that I'm in handcuffs for some reason, did I break a law I wasn't aware of. If I answer a question wrong I end up in a jump suit.
Turns out, I didn't break any laws. They want me to give them information that I didn't have. I almost had a heart attack. I walked out an hour later with my rifle.
What the bloody hell was that. Is this how we threat citizens when political fortunes are on the line. It took me a week before I had the nerve to post on this site. I use be mad at people who refused to sell to cook county residents. Now I understand, its not worth it.
How native was I, be-careful. FTF is hard enough without having to worry about bogus stings.
We aren't lawyers, but we know a few, and this stinks to high heaven. Almost entrapment by "suggesting" the transfer take place in Oak Park. After numerous refusals to sell the weapon to a known Domestic Battery offender, insisting and raising the offer? This badgering wouldn't stand up in any real courtroom - of course, they took him to Maywood, so who knows what would have been lied about over there.
Doesn't Dart have some puppies to rescue rather than putting millions of taxpayer dollars at risk on a "sting" that doesn't even pass the smell test?

Pal, go after them! Every last scum bag that was there! Call the NRA call many lawyers, you will find a great lawyer and probably have many to choose from. DO NOT LET THIS GO! Hammer them! You won't pay a cent for lawyer fees I can guarantee it. You had a few rights violated especially your 4th! Nail them. Make us proud!
Fk dart and the rest of the do nothing brown clowns
Oak Park's gun ban was declared unconstitutional along with Chicago's. Oak Park got stuck paying the NRA for legal fees.
Oak Park asked Chicago for help paying those legal fees since Chicago asked for Oak Park to join Chicago in the suit. Chicago declined. Way to go Rahm. Ask a small town to join you and then refuse their request of financial help when they do join you. What Oak Park had to pay was their entire budget for street repair for one year. Bet they won't join Chicago in any more gun lawsuits. But the sergeants union got indemnification for illegally trying to steal our pensions.
I see that the brown clowns and the head clown himself srrikes again... SMH
Lawsuit is in order. Bet you can a few more nice rifles out of it, if not more. Please take them to court. Our brain washed liberal government needs to respect the constitution and abide by the rules.
OFF TOPIC:
Is there trouble in paradise for Marlon Lynch at the UCPD? is the U of C planning on firing him as a result of the "undercover detective" public relations nightmare between U of C administrators and students? Why has Lynch applied to become chief of UC/Berkeley? Has the U of C given our chief is walking papers because of this BS liberal outrage over the recent protests at U of C hospital? If UC/Berkeley wants our chief of incompetence, we only ask that they don't wait too long. Those of us still here at the UCPD would like to plan the Adios Asshole party asap.
Get yourself a lawyer!!!! Sue those MF-ers!!!
First of all, you WERE arrested. When you are handcuffed and taken from the scene on the street to the police station involuntarily, you are under arrest.
There had better be an Arrest Report.
You did not mention whether they gave you Miranda Rights.
If what you say is correct, the "officers'" conduct is not only contrary to police practice, but violates a whole bunch of state and Federal Laws.
Get yourself a lawyer and cash in. And those nitwits are a disgrace to law enforcement. They deserve to get a new hole tore in them.
Only the Cook County Sheriff's Office would hire anyone so stupid.
Make them say they are sorry with their checkbook$.
If the head of that operation was smart he would have bought that rifle out of his own pocket and avoid your lawsuit.
Have your lawyer preserve video/audio evidence before it gets erased.
Some years ago Daley attempted to do that by sending undercovers CPD into legit gun stores. In one case a retired cop was the clerk and recognizes one of undercovers as a cop refuses the sale but does not blow the cover of the cop because he thinks it is a legit undercover operation.
Stay Safe, look out for undercover cars at gun shops and gun shows.
Fuck Tom Dart!!!!
Dear citizen
sorry you had to experience what you described. Unfortunately you were 100% correct in your reference to some liberal politician. Seems like the law abiding citizens such as yourself are the enemy now.
Remember, sheriff fart had no law enforcement experience before alder/ref Mike handed him the job. He's still learning, just like POtuS Obumhummer.
Stories like this make me glad I moved the hell away from Illinois.
This would never happen in Pennsylvania!
Grandstanding bullshit and entrapment.
Bet you the local media were on alert...
Out these motherfuckers. No laws were apparently broken.
The seller was smart in not wanting to do business in Oak Park.
Watch Dart crack a hip trying to RiverDance away from this fiasco.
We hope this grows legs and kicks Dart dead in his ass...
Thank God this guy knew what he was doing and had a clue as to what was happening.
And thank you, sir, for having the courage and the decency to post this info for the more naive and trusting souls among us.
law suit! 4th amendment
Nothing a contact card can't fix right up..... Contact cards can heal all and protect you and show activity. CCSP should inherit our system. Good work
This is the gun team the Sheriff started.
And this is exactly what the socialists want. A police state where the citizens have no rights and live in fear of the government agents.
We are the government agents of a corrupt and unjust system here in Chicago. We complain about the corrupt politicians, but how many will sign up for VRI and unjustly stop people for contact cards, let alone that "gun pinch?" Just look to the gun grabbers who nailed the guy with the carbine coming back from the range.
We need to think about what we're doing out there and who we're doing it for. Read that Constitution one more time before you go out there for Rahm and his socialist goons.
Are these guys for real? Why didn't they up the ante by offering cocaine for the gun. Unfortunately we have to many strokes in law enforcement. Common sense has left the building.
remember your oath...tick tock.....
I am trully sorry to hear all of this. I hope you can sue them for unlawful arrest and or detention.
Wow! From how it sounds, you'd almost be able to make the case that the CCSP are pimpier than the CPD assholes that wrote and executed the warrant for the residence of a certain Mr. Finkl.
Almost.
Sir, what happened to you is definitely a violation of your civil rights. The 4 th amendment prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures. You were arrested for no reason. Please consult with an experienced civil rights lawyer. Torreya Hamilton knows what she is doing and gets results. You should be compensated for what happened to you. Good luck.
Agreed about Maywood, but that Portillos is in Forest Park. Those guys wouldn't pull this crap.
The New Gestapo!!!!
It's ghetto lottery time and you just got a winning ticket. Just make sure you get a good lawyer.
Well, the sheriffs police have to do something to justify their political jobs! Hacks in a patronage job
Give Howard Brookins a call.
Sue that cocksucker!
Serve him in front of his brood mare and welps during that fuckin SSI parade today!
SCC,
You said the undercover sheriff's deputy revealed a domestic violence conviction. However, the armed citizen you quote was only told by the buyer that he had a domestic violence arrest. This difference is huge. the federal law prohibits sale or ownership of firearms to those convicted of a misdemeanor DV charge or who have an order of protection. A DV arrest itself does not automatically create an order of protection. Despite what liberals want to believe, if this imaginary buyer had a FOID, he was well within his legal right to buy a firearm.
I am NOT a big fan of the ACLU. But in a case like this they do have a downloadable booklet on what to so if you are stopped/detained.
It is unfortunate that we are starting to see a divide between "good" law enforcement and "bad" law enforcement.
I’m not exactly sure where this country is heading, but it doesn’t feel right.
Its da clowney!!
Make 'em pay! Get a good lawyer as fast as you can. You've got a great lawsuit!
A well armed citizen thinks: You my friend were the victim of a crime by the government. You may consider contacting a civil rights attorney who specializes in criminal civil rights litigation, review the matter with him or her and decide your options. By attorney I do not mean Loevy and Loevy or those types. I believe the problem begins when they took you into custody. Up until then, I would not agree any of your civil rights were violated. By the way, you should rethink the internet gun selling idea. Meeting people in parking lots does not really solve the safety issue. The rest of your actions are indicative of a responsible gun owner. We have a duty to follow the laws to the letter.
Sir,
Please remember that this was NOT the Chicago Police involved in this.
As screwed up as our idiot upper management is, the rank and file Chicago Policemen don't do things like this.
We wish you luck in your upcoming lawsuit against Cook County. Hopefully your award will be enough to give you the opportunity to move from here.
Please, please jam it up their respective asses. And I mean everyone involved.
We're rooting for you!
My advice:
File a lawsuit. Gestapo tactics if you ask me!
Get yourself to a lawyer ASAP! Make sure he finds all the cameras on all the businesses nearby that could have captured this incident!
I hope you win big in your lawsuit, but you're not a shitbird west-side ghetto rat, so who knows?
Don't wait, don't take time to decide, get a lawyer!!!!
As the police, before you do something like that, i.e., plan a covert operation, you better have all your ducks in a row. You better know what the laws are and what the elements of said crime are. Someone on the scene should have known that. It's policing 101.
Hello NRA!
A big violation of the 2nd Amendment in this crooked Communist County!
I hope this guy wins $10 Million from this stupid Crook County!
The Sheriffs should be ashamed of entrapping a person and violating the United States Constitution!
Da Pelon
If true, this is pathetic behavior and a waste of resources by all involved. The victim should sue to enforce the contract to sell and purchase and for violation of his "right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures" and whatever else he can think of.
Guys, Gotta tell you, this was firsposted on AR15.com and I really do think there may be less here than meets the eye.
I know Dart is a grand standing buffoon but surely there are at least some professional LEOs on his Department that would have stopped this before it even happened.
I bet anything this turns out to be a fraud.
Contact ISRA and NRA, those lawyers would like to hear your story.
Boo hoo hoo. Take the police out of this scenario and this is exactly what happens thousands of times, only the sale takes place.
How about any gun sale has to involve a licensed gun dealer? No private sales. But that would likely make too much sense.
fine policework
Overreaching to remove lawfully owned firearms is happening everywhere, look here for another crazy example.

yeah we know captain you were just kepping it off the street.
WTF.....like theres a shortage of crime in the sheriffs beat....
They took that man off the street because they knew what they were doing was improper.
Tom Dart. A lot like a north sider but he is all ours.
You would be crazy not to hire a lawyer. Did they give you the rifle back? Did they charge you with a crime? If yes to the 1st question & no to the 2nd you probably have a good claim. Cook County is getting more out of control by the day. Sue! That is all they understand.
At least he wasn't trying to sell nuclear weapons in Oak Park. Then he would've been in REAL trouble.

You said and did all the right things, its obvious they're looking for a fall guy, and then... you'd have been pictured next to Dart on the front page of every newspaper in the state.
Screw the glory hound, sue the shit out of them. Dart will deny all knowledge, but if you had been charged, he'd have personally used your name in his next 10 news conferences, probably all of which he'd have held within 48 hours of your arrest.
Someone forward this to fox news. The national one not this joke liberal ass fox 32. Anyone have any connections to send it to
messing with this guy but they wont do a damn thing with the thousands of shitheads and bangers they keep letting back out on the street from county. judges still throwing out or findings of no pc when there is when attending your prelim and if you are lucky enough to get them assigned a court room, downgrounds and deals of the century are made for a guilty verdict thats if your liberal anti police judge doesnt grant a defense motion or make a finding of not guilty. There is your problem, plain and simple!
Illegal arrest But Crook County doenst care about the Bill of Rights
Your side or the story is sickening. If your side of the story is reality, don't speak with a lawyer, speak with "liberty" friendly people who will assist.
America
I never trust one side of a story, regardless of the side telling it....

That was Daley, you do remember him don't you?
As a Retired CPD Officer I feel what happened to disgraceful. I worked many stings in a undercover capacity and never attempted to entrap anyone. Once the found out you were acting in a legitamite manner the action should have stopped. You were correct not to answer any questions. You have that right. These type of actions are what gives Law Enforcement a bad name. I am glad it worked out for you. I would persue legal action. This was not right.
you would be a fool not to sue!
DON'T BE A FOOL!!!
Those so called cops should be in prison for violating this American's rights.
These are the gun grabbers we'll be fighting when the socialists try to destroy the Bill of Rights and come for your guns.
"Only the Cook County Sheriff's Office would hire anyone so stupid." Oh, I don't know about that. My dept. has some real winners and I've met many more from other PD's through the years.
Oak Park asked Chicago for help paying those legal fees since Chicago asked for Oak Park to join Chicago in the suit. Chicago declined. Way to go Rahm.

==============================
Boo fucking hoo, it's called being responsible for your own actions. Why should taxpayers in Chicago have to pay for the whole thing? Of course, this is classic liberal bullshit. Do something stupid, then try to pass the bill to someone else. It warms the cockles of my icy cold conservative heart to see the bill come due.
Look, if the people of Oak Park want to be liberal panty waists (which they are), that's fine, but if you start a fight, don't cry foul if the other person hits you. You should have known and accepted that possibility before you threw the first punch.
Think of it this way. If I ask you to drive the getaway car while I rob a liquor store, and we get caught, should only I do the time because I asked you to help me?
Sounds like an unlawful detention. You gonna get paid
Wasn't that Forest Park?
Shouldn't Dart be protecting the Second Amendment?
Cha Ching! You just won the lottery!!!!!
I'm so jealous :(
$ 4 u
And those nitwits are a disgrace to law enforcement. They deserve to get a new hole tore in them.
All bow to the mighty CPD. Go solve a homicide. Oh yea wait, that would involve work. All hail the mighty CPD. Don't knock all of us just because of what a few do.
Fuck Chicago, Fuck Cook County, Fuck Rahm, Fuck Toni Prenkwinkle. All worthless scum and wasteland.
I feel bad that a law abiding citizen had to go through such a horrible situation like this but as a brother in blue I would never recommend a lawsuit against my fellow police officers. They only were trying a scare tactic to see if this could have led to some illegal sales of guns. Just like we do out there in the ghetto on a daily basis to get a good arrest. Stay safe from fellow officer. (11 district).
I guess the Sheriffs Department can deprive a law abiding citizen at their will. Once it was determined that the citizen refused to sell the uc the weapon he should have been thanked and sent on his way. But no, they deprived him of his rights and decided to take him in where he was subsequently released. This is the new America under the Obama regime.
Hmmmm Only got one side of the story here. Love to hear the other side.
SCC,
You said the undercover sheriff's deputy revealed a domestic violence conviction. However, the armed citizen you quote was only told by the buyer that he had a domestic violence arrest. This difference is huge.
No shit the difference is huge - which is why we never mentioned the word "conviction" and have no idea where you happen to be reading it.
Citizen said "domestic arrest."
We said "known Domestic Battery offender."
This demonstrates exactly why we get irritated when people attribute words to us that we never even thought about, let alone wrote in a post.
I caught the story via DSLC last night. I looked it all up and it seems to be a third hand story by the time it got to his blog.
If this story is legit, and I can imagine Darts office doing something dumb like that, I hope this guy comes forward with a good lawyer and fucks over the county for everything its worth.
BTW, I used the Menards parking lot in Crestwood for my last private transaction. ;-)
LOL!

Lol. Comment of the thread.
It's amazing that cops are still willing to work in that grey area, bend the law or whatever you want to call it, just to stay in their spots. The bosses won't be able to protect you when you are a defendant in federal court charged with a civil rights violation. Your willing to go to prison, get sued, lose your job and lose your pension for some boss and to stay in your unit. You're nuts!!!!!!!! By the way civil rights violation does not have a statue of limitations.
Sue. Find an aggressive attorney with good NRA cred. The discovery and deposition process will force a settlement. The publicity will create fear and loathing within Cook County Sheriff's office.
You are likely not alone. Others may come forward, and then the fun really begins.
Go get 'em!

Yes, you will do the time because I am older and smarter and will already have my story and means to rat you out ready in case we (you) get caught. Let's see, you asked for a ride to get some baby food for your baby momma and the next thing I know you be actin' a fool and sticking up the place. I didn't know nothing about that. My lady and her people already have that same story for when the detectives come over asking.
Actually I don't have sympathy for Oak Park but they learned a little something about dealing with Chicago. We all learn how the City can and will screw us.
I love Nevada

Who would be so stupid as to announce that they were arrested for domestic violence as they attempt to be a buyer of a firearm? Since they thought you were stupid,show them and sue them!
Get a good lawyer you have a good case for civil rights violation. Terrible police work.
Boy wouldn't you like to have Gabby Giffords husband living in Chicago?

Gabby Gifford’s husband buys AR-15 assault rifle in Arizona gun shop
March 10, 2013 by Michael Dorstewitz
The husband of one of the country’s most recognizable proponents of gun control purchased both an AR-15 assault rifle with high-capacity magazines and a semi-automatic pistol.
Mark E. Kelly, husband to former U.S. Rep. Cabby Giffords and a supporter of strict gun legislation, made the purchase on Tuesday. Two days later, Neil McCabe, editor of Guns & Patriots newsletter, tipped Breitbart News to the purchase with the following email:
Mark E. Kelly, made purchases which included an AR-15–sometimes described as an “assault rifle”–at 3:30 pm on the afternoon of March 5 at Diamondback Police Supply, 170 S. Kolb Street, Tucson, AZ.
Americans for Responsible Solutions, the gun control political action committee started by Kelly and Giffords, was contacted by McCabe on March 6 asking about the purchase. Two days later, the PAC’s officials told McCabe they would get back with him.
It was only when the media started asking questions that Kelly posted an entry about the purchase on his Facebook page:
I just had a background check a few days ago when I went to my local gun store to buy a .45. As I was leaving, I noticed a used AR-15. Bought that too. Even to buy an assault weapon, the background check only takes a matter of minutes. I don’t have possession of it yet but I’ll be turning it over to the Tucson PD when I do.

Your handcuffed and taken i to there station. That's under arrest to me. Civil rights violation $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
So everytime you put handcuffs on a suspect and took him to the station, then released him, you violated his civil rights. They better open a bunch of new courts if thats the case. Suspects have cuffs put on everyday and then released
Be glad you went to the academy instead of law school. You would be unemployed today

Please remember that this was NOT the Chicago Police involved in this.
Yes it was. Sgt. Bob O'Neil, on leave from CPD and Ald. Burke's kid, were the Uc's. The whole thing was thought up by O'Neil, and brought in CCSPD at the very end, two hrs before the deal took place.
There are a lot of CCSPD guys that are good cops... This investigation was initiated by a former CPD sergeant, now working directly for the moron Dart. The other UC was none other than Alderman arrogant's son, EB Jr..
The SP guys refused to take the case, but were ordered by our inexperienced and police hater Sheriff. The SP guys have there share on goofs, but this was the actions of a guy who wanted another press release!!
Like CPD doesnt have any idiots????
Sir, what happened to you is definitely a violation of your civil rights. The 4 th amendment prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures. You were arrested for no reason. Please consult with an experienced civil rights lawyer. Torreya Hamilton knows what she is doing and gets results. You should be compensated for what happened to you. Good luck
Ya good luck with this idiot. ANyone who has to advertise like this is someone you really wamt to go with. Fucking morons.
