Guess What Time It Is?

  • Chicago's winter overnight parking ban goes into effect Sunday morning, December 1.

    Last year just over 300 vehicles were towed the first day of enforcement.

    The parking ban remains in effect until April 1.

    The restriction is in effect between 3 and 7 a.m. on main streets, even if there is no snow.

    Violation fees include a $150-dollar towing fee and a $60 ticket.
Rahm's going to have every tow truck he can lay his hands on cruising the streets on Saturday night. Make sure you aren't parked at dinner or a tavern and come out to find no car.

Alderman Fioretti sent an email to his constituents stating he voted against the Mayor's budget.

He cited two reasons:

1. Cutting healthcare subsidies to City retirees.
2. Inadequate police hiring.

How did your Alderman vote?

Waguespack, Arena, Fioretti, Munoz, Sposato all voted NO on the budget.

The other 45 all voted YES. Especially useless was Ald. Pawar the "reformer" who railed against Daley when he ran for alderman and has voted in lockstep with Emanuel, ever since. Pawar's middle name is "suckhole." Pawar is amazing for how quickly he joined the trained seals of the City Council.

The City can always start towing cars a little before and after the parking ban starts. After all, they're ticketing parked cars for 'speeding'; might as well find other illicit revenue streams as well.

I always hated this part of the years for that reason.

So I used to look up license plates and ring door bells around 0200 (that was always fun) and tell people to move their car or it would be towed. They would say thank-you. That felt good.

Like I said this was fun, sort of a Midnigh-Wack-A-Mole, Keep Away From the Daley Crime Family.

Sometimes I'd have to drive a a few blocks away. A couple times a woman answers the door. "That car is where?!? Why that no good son-of-a-bitch is with that floozy I'm wring his scrawny neck when I gets hold o' him. O' and thank-you officer"

One thing I always remembered is the face of a young mother when I told her car had been towed right from under her apartment window. She cried when I told her what it would cost to get it back and said she her kids Christmas toys were in the trunk. She would have to take them back so she could get the car so she could go to work.

If you ever happened to go downtown never park On Kinzie\Hubbard\Illionis from State to Wells after 2300. All cars are towed and the signs are posted about 10 feet up. Funny how it was ok to park there when it was all gumps and glory hole adult book stores.

O.T to the hair gell asswipe from 025 who likes to write tix's to family members. you know who you are . A family member who was pulled over by you because you claim that they were on the cell phone. You were in front , and I guess you saw what you thought was a cell phone in your rear view mirror , pulled over and let the vehicle pass you only so you could pull over the family member begin lecturing about cell phone use. Although courteous to you so you wouldn't be any more pissed off at the world , you commented how you would even write your own children if they did that, after they apologized and stated that they were my family member, & that they had just retired from the city.

You are a P.O.S. who continues to 1st- bring in activity because you must be miserable and 2nd for not knowing how to give courtesy to family members of POLICE OFFICERS on this job here in the same department, But I bet you're the 1st one to jump and try to get a break when your ass does something as minor as bringing attention to any police that would pull you over. You're lucky I wasn't informed about this until today, it happened a few weeks ago, i'm a veteran (19 years) and had I known about this then , I would've marched into the 25th district and confronted you myself you worthless P.O.S. 025TH 3RD watch last name ending in "ski" at diversey and cicero

Take a chill pill killer-- I am not the officer in question from 025 but I don't agree with your attitude. My own mother was written by an officer in my own district for hitting a yippie bicyclist speeding down Elston ave near Logan. My mom in her 80's never mentioned my name to the officer. When she finally called me I said did you tell the officer you were my mom she said, "no, I don't want to abuse your authority, I am not entitled and I did hit that young man". Now, I know who the officer is and I have not confronted him or said anything about the ticket. Why? Because everyone eventually breaks the laws and gets caught. Your family member is not exempt from paying the piper once in awhile so get over it. You sound like a member of the cartel-- And you wonder why the public dislikes us and won't back us when we need them; like on our pension issues-- two sets of rules- 014/17YOS --oh, and I write ANOVs for cell phone use. I wouldn't say I was a worker-- just surviving.

It appears they have guys like this.
The answer isnt to say, stay off the cell phone and you wont be stopped. 90% of drivers use the cell phones and each occupation or profession offer each other professional courtesy whether it be doctors, dentists, lawyers, etc

It's officers with your mindset that make us all look bad to the public. The law is pretty clear, and most vehicles have hands free options or your family member could have used a Bluetooth device. Sure, the officer could have written a blue traffic contact card but that is at the discretion of the officer and you were not there were you--your family member could have been acting like a fool. I recently pulled over a vehicle for the same reason and the kid was very disrespectful, pretty much telling me what I was going to do because his cousin was a cop. I wrote the little punk. Not because he was a complete disrespectful ass, but because he could have caused an accident while pulling out into traffic while talking on his cell phone. Officer, you are only getting one side of the story. Before judging the issuing officer, why not take a deep breath and say shit happens. Think about how many other times your family member was on the cell phone in 025 and didn't get caught-hmmmmmmm-- don't throw stones

DO NOT let the SNOW TOW truck drivers speed, run, red lights and stop signs, not use safety straps OR A FAVORITE WORK OR RUN WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS OR ROOF LIGHTS.

Another tactic is STACKING, they tow the cars they swipe a distance away to a lot or another street and go back for more. They stack as many as they can there and when they run out of time or cars then they tow them to the pound.

Sometimes that is why people go to the pound and find that their car isn't there yet or see their car on the truck waiting in line to get into the pound.

This is a BIG FUCKING RIP-OFF. Tell people to call their Aldermen; they can do something about it if they want to.

Chicago Officer's are the biggest whiners. So cry and pout because this 025 Officer wrote a family member for being on a phone. How many times a day do you think the excuse of "wah, my father is a retired PO", "wah, my brother is a cop", "wah, I know so-so" gets used...? Just because you're a cop, doesn't give family or friends the right to act a fool. Then saying you'll storm in and create a scene in 25 because the guy wrote a ticket...? Just wow. I'd rather have the ticket writer on the street than some wannabe tough guy who thinks he is the ultimate cop who always does "real police work". News flash, tickets are a part of police work and if your family member doesn't like getting them, put the phone down. Simple.

As simple as giving someone a damn play, asshole?

Seriously, how do you work on this department, in a busy place, where night after night you see some disgusting worthless vicious savages get away with murder (literally), and then can't be bothered to (1). stop chasing after petty nonsense, and (2). if you must kiss your bosses ass for a pimpy ticket, can you seriously not use discretion for (a). good, hard-working people and (b). the obvious recipient of our courtesy (your fellow officer and his family)?

If you can't handle that, if it all seems like it's just too much for you...
You simply are "one of those" cops.

I came on 17 years ago and was lucky enough to go to the busiest place to learn, so that a bunch of good cops could tell me how things work.
I hope I don't end up with that blister on my ass that doubles as a brain like the one you use to think that you are so mighty and important as to go around being "that asshole" cop.

No damn common sense. Big headed wind bag who people will be glad to see gone when you finally retire only to find out you were never that important afterall, you no-life loser.
