50 Speed Cameras by Year's End
- Just as most Chicagoans were heading into the holiday weekend and tuning out the news, Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced the full list of 50 locations where the city will put up ticket-issuing speed cameras near parks and schools by the end of the year.
The Emanuel administration previously had announced 12 of the locations where one or more of the cops in a box will be keeping an eye on motorists during school and park hours. A news release issued Friday afternoon includes the other 38 sites.
Each camera, like those already up, will trigger warning tickets during the first 30 days. After that, drivers exceeding the speed limit by between 6 and 10 mph will get $35 tickets in the mail. Those exceeding the limit by more than 10 mph will get $100 tickets.
Watch the lead feet - no need to give Rahm any of your money.

I think we will be seeing a rise in plate thefts...maybe I'll get the ball rolling.
Timing is everything!
Put the notice out late on a friday eve. during a holiday weekend. So how many joe citizen's will see it in the paper?
Perfect-o Mayor transparency.
So retro should be no problem?
Right Rahm?
Another scam!
Whats next charging for promotion test!
What happened to my country.
It's ok when Rahm uses the kids as his excuse though.
Who TF DRIVES 20MPH??? 2 more years and I'm off this job & out if this POS city! 7-7pm schools & 7-11pm parks. Someone please vote the A$$ holes out of office.
Maybe Rahm can use some of the money generated by the cameras to replace the almost 400 ipads that were stolen from the grammer school in the Dearborn Homes on Thursday nite. Yes folks, seems this school had the new still in the box ipads securely stored IN THE AUDITORIUM! And guess who stole the ipads . . . of course the shitheads that live in Dearborns. Ipads were being sold like packs of squares in the Dearborns for a hundred bucks a pop. Now you gotta ask yourself, how many CPS schools in taxpaying neighborhoods got new ipads for their kids? What CPS administrator thought it would be a good idea to leave all the new ipads setting in the auditorium overnight? And finally, how is it that the shitheads that stole the ipads knew right where to find them. Hmmmm.
Just remember, it's for the children. .......not !
Render unto Rahm, you slaves.
Those cameras are an example of how rotten Emmanual is. He can't quit taking our money . So damn mean and unnecessary . He's a millionaire several times over. Speed cameras won't affect him. He hates the lower middle and middle class. What about him can anyone really like? So smug, I can't watch or listen to him. Cops , Firefighters and Teachers are the bad guys, according to Rahm. What a lousy person.
I'm just a blue shirt road dog with a HS education, but I have to ask.
Are these tickets going to be a state charge or an ordinance violation?
The law as it stands now, a municipality can't issue an ordinance violation for a mover or anything in chapter 11 of the IVC (except the parking section). Only equipment and registration violations.(625 ILCS 5/6-204)
The reason being is so you can't get 5-10 movers in a year and still have a valid DL because they are never reported to SOS.
So if some goof gets 3+ speed/red light camera violations in a year and are never reported to SOS and he then whacks someone, is the city going pay out when he should of had a suspended DL by SOS standards and never should have been on the road.
This law was passed back in 1999 when that truck driver hit the train in Bourbonnais, killing 11 people. He had multiple ordinance violations for movers and should have had a suspended license by SOS standards, but not one violation was reported to them. Making his CDL "clear and valid."
And the red light cameras, are those being written under ordinance
violations for violating 625ILCS5/11-305, another mover in the IVC.
So unless there's been an overnight change in the IVC, some illegal tickets have been handed out for the red light cameras and more will be handed out after the 30 day warning period for the speed cameras.
When was the last time Mayor Putz drove his own privileged ass around Chicago in a car?

So when school is out for a holiday, spring break, summer vacation, are the cameras going to be adjusted to the non-school speed limit.
The IVC says when school is in session, not just when children are present.
You Pay Pay Pay $$$$
Keep Voting One Party Rule
No Airstrikes or Missiles to set US free
I drive a lot in the city and suburbs for my job. Purchased a Cobra laser detector with a GPS database 6 months ago. Works like a charm on red light, speed cameras and speed detectors. Will give at least a block warning in the City and farther in the suburbs. Since I'm from Indiana and we don't do this crap to our citizens, I am not going to give one red cent of my hard earned money to that prick Rahm.
AM I allowed to question my accuser at trial? Can the cameras talk?
Is anyone going to take the city to court for the hours? What about all those liberal agencies? Someone needs to stop the guy.
Will the speed camera pick up tinted covers? It picks up the front plate right?
Friend of mine told me that the cameras at Gompers Pk had over 700 speeders btwn 0700 & 1200 last week.
Some were the same vehicle going to/from. These will be warnings, but if half were for 11 mph over, that's
$35K or $7K/hr.
Don't forget, 3 tickets = Boot.
It is possible to become eligible while you are running errands.
This is crazy!
And he wants to put in 300 total?
And they run from 0700 to 1100? I'm assuming 7 days a week?
I've already figured out how to get to work via minimal city street travel. Aside from that, you won't see me in the city at all.
But it's for the children. Cough.
Not that I have been writing lately. But since there are more cameras there is no reason for me to write any tickets. Wake Up Guys and Girls our asses on the line now with the current contract. Keep the bins empty.
Looking at the Tribune map I can see most cameras will be in the areas around parks and in the northwest side! Now that school is back in session the parks are empty now but NOT the politicians hand in our pockets grabbing every dollar we poor citizens earn! Rahm you are nothing but a power, money hungry grabbing SOB you will never get anymore of my money or votes. I am closing my business and moving out of Chicago before you take the first dollar off the wall in my store I ever made!
Its not about revenue, its for the chillins...GAG!!!!
The same City that is so concerned about "safety" also looks the other way when it comes to illegals driving around unlicensed & uninsured.
We are all just frogs in the pot of water...
if this dosent break up the one party system in this city. nothing will.
The city that works... When it can fill it$ pocket!
It's not our money. It's Rhams.......and he wants it back.
I have no sympathy for speeders, or careless unlicensed uninsured texting weed smoking DWB'ers, but those are the ones who won't pay up.
Only chumps that have jobs, late for work or school will.
Still, the amount of revenue the cameras will generate, the City chiltren will net about 30%.
But win-win for Friends of Rahmf.
Somehow the City has to make up the money Daley stole. Rahm tried by bringing in the indicted ex-Comptroller Amer Ahmad to manipulate the books and that didn't work out too well.
Pay up chumbalones. $35 - $100 this year, $50 - $200 coming soon.
(I might be reading too much John Kass)
retired asks
I have no clue how the new "boxes" are manned.
Just how many pos or others are required to man ONE camera on a given tour?
What is the response time average per "in progress" sightings?
Who is responsible to collate this vital data and issue it to the press?
And, how many additional behind the scene new supervisors, admins, or others taken away from real policing?
You guys didn't catch the hidden word "zone" . For example Garfield park , 100 N. Central Park one would think that there is where the only camera would be right? But the word zone me means cameras on the parks borders like , independence blvd ( signs posted) Madison, lake street, etc...
Can't wait to move out of this City!
Anyone that lives in this Communist city is stupid if you don't have too!
Destroy them. Vote out socialist criminals.
Gotta pay the sergeant's out of grade with something.
Every time I'm driving through Chicago, it's bumper to bumper rush hour traffic, you're lucky if you can get up to 10 mph in your car, only to catch the "timed traffic signal" that turns red just as you approach the intersection. You sit there idling, wasting fuel, only to be stuck at the next red light, and so on, ad nauseum. So what MF'n mayor thinks this will keep people from speeding??? Most of the time in our fair city, it's impossible to speed! Just way to much traffic, poor roadway design, etc. It's really all about revenue, not safety at all!!!
rahm is a suck-ass that'll take money from anyone. fuck you rahm, your projections will be way off when it is time to tally up. we are making everyone aware of these cameras and this will be just another failed project. always good to see that the major issue in the city is violence and murders yet rahm doesn't take it out on those motherfuckers. instead he enjoys sticking it to the police, fire, teachers and good taxpayers. fuck you rahm!!!
These cameras will be operational from 0600hrs to 2300hrs. Watch yourself. I go down 111st frequently and it is pretty easy to go 6 miles over the limit. Nothing byut a money making operation

These things work on photos but not on video.
The photo blur is simple yet effective in hiding your license plate numbers from any angle. Perfectly readable from straight on. Particularly effective for red light cameras.............................
license plate covers have been illegal under Ill law for the last 2-3 years. if you are on the job and get spotted in station lot, look at being written up.
We should screw the city out of revenue by driving 14 mph, especially in Ravenswood where Raheem Emanne EL lives. Oh wait he might get slow motion cameras for vehicles driving under school speed limit.
Seperation of Church and State lead to the unification of communism and state. No matter what Christianity you belong too remember your only leader is Lord Jesus Christ.
However, Remove the Lens Cover when you park. Someone I know got lucky and stayed overnight in the city. When he woke up to go to work he had a parking ticket for the lens on his plate. Also note, the "Info Dump" was classic Rahm when he was BJ Clinton's hatchet man. The Clinton White House was famous for Dumping Unpleasant News on Friday afternoons. This way the Lamestream Media would be unable to challenge what had been dumped and businesses were closed so there was no effect on the Market. Rahm is predictable.
So when school is out for a holiday, spring break, summer vacation, are the cameras going to be adjusted to the non-school speed limit.
The IVC says when school is in session, not just when children are present.
8/31/2013 02:48:00 AM
We can be sure the Rahm-Asshole will make sure there are no built in exceptions, including the law, to reduce the maximum revenue that these cash cows will produce. Whay let a good law get in the way of profits??? It will be up to the citizen who gets the ticket, to prove that there were no children present. And good luck with that!!!
02:32 AM.... photo blurr and tinted license plate covers are illegal by state statute and countless city ordinances throughout the state. Also, any kind of cover is illegal, even clear. But seeing how nobody gives a shit, including coppers who have them, and on duty coppers don't stop anyone with covers it wouldn't hurt to try.
There's also another ugly aspect to consider regarding these scamera systems. What happens when you're trying to make roll call on the far west or south side of the city from 016 where you live? If you're a bit over the speed limit, the scamera will not know who you are, and Rahm could care less, so forget any professional courtesy. Everyone gets fucked equally! Rahm's dream come true!

Park in a Police lot and you will pay a price. No Inspectors these days, but if you think you won't get whacked, think again.
For that reason I will slam anyone I see with one of these. I already have. Same with the City sticker. We gotta have it, so do you.

ANY cover on an Illinois plate is illegal. Good luck with that. The meter maids'll cost ya more than the mover, in the long run.
They need some up on Cumberland too. Or even on the 7600 to 8400 block of Irving. Those roads are speedways late at night.
E/b Foster today, where that camera is facing westbound, just west of Pulaski on the north side of the street.
As I approached it, I saw four flashes on that camera out of seven cars going w/b. NO WAY were any of those cars exceeding 30mp, because they just came off the red light by the Jewel entrance.
Big-time money grab going on here.
And Tiny Dancer says " Cha-Ching "!
Just use some rubberbands with one of those phony Indiana temps. on your plate.

Did you vote in the last election? Are you the typical complainer on the blog who tells everyone else to vote? BTW, when you get several speeding tickets, you also will slow down.
A very good idea !! Let the idiots that drive like their at the Indy 500 pay thru the nose !!!
Mythbusters has tested those plate covers and sprays for the plates. They haven't found one yet that really works.
I hear that there is an outfit that manufactures a screen that will roll down over your plates when you hit a switch. Don't remember the name though.....

Boats.
The same kind that brought here brought them here.
Rip them down!
How's that sticky fingered slimeball going to get around the fact that state ordinance requires children to be present in order for these tickets to be issued?
Is the little prick going to photoshop kids into everyone's pictures? I wouldn't put anything past that egotistical, thieving prick.
The list shows the address of the school or park not necessarily where the camera is if it fronts several streets. I.E. Gompers Parks address is 4222 Foster (the fieldhouse) but the Camera is on Pulaski by the bridge.
I ran into ald Zalewski yesterday at the OTB and he related that he wished archer ave had a camera at each intersection. Really?
For several years, a lot of my friends and colleagues were and are urging me to get a car and for the same number of years, I told them I rather use public transportation because in Chicago, it does not matter who becomes mayor, they will always find ways to make you pay owning a vehicle.
What the he w lll. No one addressing the unconstitutionality of these cameras, they are banning them in other states,time for a revolt. Where is the injured party?
Another tax and spend item!

That was Q who made those things. He made them for Bond, James Bond. You know, shaken, not stirred.
They can take their goddamned speeding camera fines. I will take my city pension and leave this shithole city. Oh wait, and I am due a COLA bump in a month.
Fuck you Rahm, another nice policeman's pension headed somewhere else to be spent. I will keep a voting presence here, however, just so I can come back to vote against Rahm. I will keep a box of junk in the basement of a friend to qualify me to vote here.

Those camera tickets are City Ordinance violations, not IVC. That is so the City gets the fine and they can be handled by an administrative law judge and the ticket itself is proof of the violation. You will never see anyone testifying on those.
Why not a camera which snaps the license of every car and sends a bill for $100.00 just for being there?.

26 MPH is deserving of a speeding ticket?...when not a child is within 1/4 mile?
http://www.radarbusters.com/photo-radar/license-plate-shields/photoblur.cfm
I can tell you guys first hand I have this on my car and have had it for over two years. I won't say where I work for obvious reasons but I have only been stopped three times in two years and both times the coppers just laughed about it.
I just always back in when I park in the station lot and make it a point to make sure nobody is behind me when I leave out.
Once I was stopped by the state police and he assed chewed me and wrote me warning but that was it. I have never been written by a DOR or CPD but when I am parking downtown I usually take it off. I only have two screws and carry a screwdriver. Only takes about one minute to do it.

Lic Plate covers are secondary violations, if you are not driving they can't ticket for it.
Don't forget, 3 tickets = Boot.
It is possible to become eligible while you are running errands.
This is crazy!
8/31/2013 07:20:00 AM
That is not correct.
It's 3 tickets into Final Determination.
Or for the people that don't do parkers...3 tickets that have DOUBLED.
Or 2 tickets over 1 year old.
You don't automatically go onto the Boot List at 3 tickets.
Try using the Waze app. It tells you all red light cameras and if they are operational or not.

Two unpaid parkers qualify you for the boot. Law was changed last year. Yes. TWO.
I'm going to check out some old radar detectors I have in the garage to see if they work.
Enough is more than enough and it is time for a loud and clear revolt.
every time Rahm and McCarthy make any public appearence we should shout the questions the lame stream media won't ask them. If they don't answer chase them into the street like the did Rostenkowski years ago.
That would make the news world wide and go viral on the internet. No Vice President Rahm!
When is Rahm's term up? I wish they would pass a voter ID requirement so Rahm can't go back to the cemetery to dig up more votes for a second term. I still think the election was rigged. I don't know of one person who voted for him, do you?
