Karma is a Bitch
- CBS 2 Chicago investigative reporter Dave Savini was arrested Saturday in Naperville and now faces misdemeanor charges including battery, driving under the influence of alcohol, and endangering the life of a child after he left the scene of a minor traffic accident, officials said.
Savini, who lives in Naperville, was arrested about 12:20 a.m. after a minor accident that took place in the parking lot of Taco Bell at 75th Street and Rickert Drive, Naperville police said.
The driver of the other vehicle told police that he wanted to report the collision to police, but Savini refused, Cmdr. Lou Cammiso said. The driver said Savini pushed him when he took a photograph of Savini's license plate with his phone, Cammiso said.
Naperville Police Sgt. Ken Gettemy said police identified Savini by his vehicle's license plate, and arrested him near the intersection of Saratoga and Plainfield Naperville roads.
Savini had two children under age 18 in the car, hence the endangering charge, Gettemy said. "I can't confirm whether or not either, or both, were his kids," he said.
Golly, a supposedly upstanding reporter driving drunk with children in the car, committing battery and fleeing the scene of an accident. So why do we say "karma is a bitch"? Guess what Savini is famous for?
- Before joining CBS 2 Chiago, Savini worked at WMAQ-TV in Chicago as an investigative reporter (1993-2004). In 2003, Savini won the prestigious Edward R. Murrow award for his series “Code Blue, Code Red,” which investigated law enforcement officials and exposed 250 drunk-driving offenders among Chicago police officers, firefighters and paramedics.
Interesting. These are officers, firefighters and paramedics who have already served their criminal penalties and administrative discipline for their off-duty acts, and as far as we know were never accused of being drunk on-duty, but somehow, this is a media story worthy of an award?
Let's see if SeeBS takes down that part of his bio before tomorrow. As of this posting, a quick Google search reveals none of the local TV or radio stations have a single article up regarding this arrest - it's almost like....like....a code of silence or something.

Ha Ha Ha.....this is the douche who did a story stating that he had found the vehicle involved in the brown chicken murders....screw this douche bag....
What a big asshole. Couldn't happen to a nicer jagoff. Now if that troll Zekman gets caught...that would be justice.
Dealt with him years ago at a crime scene. He's a real POS.

This was a minor parking lot fender bender by all accounts, with no injuries. Why call the police. In a large number of cities small, medium and large you don't call the police for a fender bender. Unless there are serious injuries they won't respond anyway. What you do is exchange insurance information and let your insurance companies handle any damages. The police are better employed spending their time on things other than minor fender benders.
excellent scc excellent
The new DSS and Lt, positions is an unworkable model. Whoever thought this idea out obviously has never been in patrol. This is going to cost the city far more then paying a Sgt out of grade pay for the day
Last week if memory serves right, there were some posts about Savini shit-talking on Twitter about an anti-Police hit piece he was going to run this month...
Karma IS a mean, one-eyed, many titty having, crown wearing, purple & gold bag swinging bitch and she has a mouth full of teeth like jagged mirror glass.
She bit him dead in his narrow ass... Hard...
Play stupid games with The Police, win some stupid-assed prizes.
Forget about any major media outlet running with this.
The public "right to know" begins and ends where a copper steps in shit...
"Guardians of the Public Trust?"
In dead dog's hockey dot.
I cant wait til that Tim Novak and Chris Fusco get pinched for something. it all comes full circle. These media people love to make stories about nonsense. Great to see Savini get locked up. Cant wait to see the next one.
As much anyone can despise him, he helped my daughter who got rejected for insurance. So, regardless anything, he saved the child of a law enforcement member. My daughter is well and super healthy because all he did.
Nothing in Chicago breaking news, go figure. Only if Pam seckman would be next.
Dave Savini is A POS. Went to Weber HS with him and he was a jerk back then too. You won't see any of the news report this because they like to say "it's personal" just like Hosea Sanders getting extorted with pictures of him smoking crack or when Joan Espositos husband are a shotgun. Now THATS personal but they can chase off duty coppers wives trying to get a story.
G. F. Y. Savini. Meaning "Good For You." Or, was there another possibility of what GFY stood for? Perhaps you could investigate?
Total piece of shit.
I hope he at least gets probation.
Fucking scumbag.
The media and it's hypocrisy both suck.
Gina Savini, his sister, was a cook county states attorney back in the 1990's during the same time that current Dupage States atty Robert Berlin was also a cook county states attorney. Both worked together at 26th and California. I'm sure the calls have already been made and this will go away. The victim will be compensated for his troubles and his car damages and he will be a no show in court.
Well I guess that's his career. If he goes up to a drunk . All that person would have to keep asking is Why were you arrested for DUI????
His reporter career is tarnished now his investigative work will have no merit.....
Checked this idiots twitter...and I quote
"This month marks my 20th anniversary of being on the air as an investigative reporter in Chicago ! What a ride ! Caught a lot of bad guys!"
Also
"Ok folks send me more investigative ideas ! I need stories ! Send them here or to my email at CBS 2 dvsavini@cbs.com"
This guy is so full of himself, you wanna catch some bad guys, try patroling some areas on the westside or southside....
On or off duty they were still driving drunk, nothing excuses those acts. Just like the POS reporter.
OT:
How about all the DSS and Watch Operation LT changes that take place today.
They had it in the Sun-Times =
http://www.suntimes.com/24772366-421/wbbm-tv-reporter-dave-savini-charged-with-dui-battery-in-naperville.html
Interesting comment below the story by someone - "This is a private matter and not news."
Not News? YEAH RIGHT - how many local news papers publish someone's name when they are arrested for DUI and then they are bombarded by Lawyers calling and mailing to represent them for DUI arrests? It's like you're guilty before the trial.
There was also another comment saying he was targeted by police. Everyone knows "all the reasons".
Bottom line - he had too many (which really isn't "too much" today to blow positive) but the big thing was that he left the scene of an accident (maybe clouded thinking due to his alcohol content?).
If I drink, I drink at home because it isn't worth getting a DUI on the street. Had some friends get DUIs and it ain't worth it. Some towns like Wilmette are in it for the revenue.
How fast can we ask for a FOIA to see his mug shot?
So, according to his own beliefs he should lose his job and be outed as a hypocrite?
He'll have a good lawyer. Plus, what is to say that the driver from the other unit didn't threatened him. Plus, he technically could have relocated to where he felt safe and has seven days to file a traffic crash report because i know for a fact police tells them that to people from time to time. So, his lawyer will clear this up.
Please post his email and phones numbers.
No conspiracy theories are necessary, dude.

What an ASSHOLE! Just another reason so many people hate the media and really only watch it for the weather report.
Was out there for the nato protests front line cermak/michigan and this jagoff was standing right in front of our line for a few minutes before we started our push. He was talking into his microphone while his camera man filmed him as he talked about how the police have them surrounded and they are trapped. (total bullshit because they were clearly told to go west where there was an easy exit). I then remember him almost getting knocked on his ass from a port arms push after he and the other protesters refused to leave. he then looked at us with a sense of panic before mysteriously finding the exit he said did not exist.
Karma is right. Maybe he will change his perspective while in unemployment line.
I hear Walter Jacobson is doing an expose on reporters who drink and drive.
So long as he is judged by a drunken Crook County Judge all OS good!
Fuckin' Hypocrite !!!! Karma will always get ya !!
Fuck these mainstream media hypocrite jag-offs. They will point the finger at us any chance they get and twist the story to their benefit whenever they can.
Just for kicks I'm going to knock on his front door as I'm holding a non working microphone to ask him some "HARD HITTING QUESTIONS". F you Savini and to think you went to Weber.
Round and round...what comes around goes around, I'll tell ya why...
Couldn't happen to a better jagoff. Hope the other guy sues his ass criminally and civilly.
Just heard about it on WBBM radio
This needs major press coverage sent it to a friend matt drudge! Maybe Davy can get another reward, hope we can get court info I would like to be in court room to. Make sure dave gets justice like he should get convicted!
Maybe like they did years ago when Amy Jacobsen was with channel 5 how channel 2 exposed her and got her fired hope channel 5 had some gonads but most likely channel 5 is led by cowards!
He was released on $3,000 bond.
CBS 2 did not report the arrest on its website or on its 10 p.m. newscast Saturday.
Savini, 46, grew up on Chicago’s Northwest Side and began as a intern for WMAQ-Channel 5’s investigative unit in 1987. He rejoined the NBC-owned station in 1993 from WROC-TV in Rochester, N.Y. In 2004, he jumped to CBS 2.
WHAT A CREEP!
But he’ll forever be remembered for “Hidden Hotel Horrors,” the 3½-minute sweeps piece he delivered in 1996 in which he pointed out “splotches of semen, vaginal fluid and blood” by showing an ultraviolet light passed over the bedding in three Chicago area hotel rooms.
What a fucking dickhead!
LMFAO and nothing about this in the Sunday news reports. GEE WHY?
HA HA!
Can some near Naperville FOIA his arrest pictures and post them like they do to everyone else?
Original Investigative Reporting?
I see 99% of the Chicago Media managed not to report this.
Kind of like Dereck Blakely when he had his troubles.
Assholes all, and you wonder why the cops hate you as a group
Maybe the Reader will do a expo.
But I'll be spreading the word.
Sorry off topic on a great topic: watched the citywide get their ass handed to them at 17 yesterday. Their 1st VP graham could not answer the simplist questions about health care and gave the "ill look into "response several times. another guy (Jans?) brought his Dog. I guess if Dougherty decided to come North for a roll call it would have been the dog and pony show we are so used to from this group.
Dave did go to Weber. I knew him from back then. What's sad is that many of Dave's friends from the football team are police officers or have police officers in their families. Dave forgot where he came from. It's sad that he loves to go after city workers and the little guys. Karma really is a bitch.
Mountain made from a molehill.
Ok, two things... stop with this 1070 bull-shit. If you don't like whoever 1070 is then type his/her name. I cannot identitfy a 1070 up north. Just like when people use initials.
Secondly, I never understood when an off duty officer is involved in something that the media has to always bring up the police department, It's off duty!!
Savini is just a POS, bottom line, now he knows what it's like to have a camera or a picture taken in his direction, hence the license plate.
On or off duty they were still driving drunk, nothing excuses those acts. Just like the POS reporter.
And no one is making excuses for them you dumbshit. They all served their time. But dickhead reporter decided to punish them again for a story.
Naperville, you mean Chicago. I hated when I'm on vacation and when I meet folks around the pool area they say "I'm from Chicago". When I ask what part of they say, "Naperville".
I always have to correct them and tell them that Naperville is not Chicago.
Google " Dave Savini Facebook rant ." Was he drunk while writing this? It's very bizarre and rife with grammatical errors. What a jackass.
Not always a huge fan of NPD, but I give them big props on this one.

And they did spend their time on something else...Arresting this ASSHOLE for DUI. HAHAHA!! And of course endangering the lives of TWO children and battery!! The officers should be put in for a life saving award. Who knows how many lives they saved by getting this drunken asshole off the roads. Well done officers. Also, go crawl back under your desk in your little CBS cubicle, jagoff.

This won't happen - unless they somehow request AND get a change of venue. His case is going to be heard in DuPage County Court which is a little more strict than Cook County Court.
I don't think the DuPage judge will show a lot of mercy on Savini.
I could represent him, but Perry Mason doesn't represent rats.
Next case.
",,, This is going to cost the city far more then paying a Sgt out of grade pay for the day,,,"
HOW? Sgts have already proven themselves capable of doing the work- and Lts have already proven themselves to be expendable...last two years have proven that
So will he go into a no pay status since his license is suspended? That's what happens to CPD, oh yeah but we get special treatment according to reporters like him.
I caught him one time snooping around the CTA Special Employment parking lot to see if we were coming in early. When I confronted him he had them turn on the cameras as if to deter me. He is a real piece of work, absolutely no friend of the police.
My God, if you don't think these socialist reporters are doing drugs and worse and then covering for each other, you're crazy. Skippy was a notorious drunk driver.
Don't him very well,but he thinks he is a part time mobster.I do not know if there is a title for this,but he is a part time alcoholic.Just sayin.It will happen again .

Please post these and call the news rooms mercilessly! I identify myself as "an investigative reporter from the media's media…the peoples watchdog!"
How about neil steinberg, the drunken wife beater? Or Walter Jackobson the drunk driver? Or Hosea Sanders the coke head?
It's funny how they all rally around the socialist liberal banner and say, "We're so pleased that they got the help that they needed."
Because it's a disease, unless you can ruin a first responder's life with a good story, right hypocrites?

So nice of you to comment, Savini. Now what's your fucking excuse for the battery and the drunken driving with kids in the car? Asshole fucking communist piece of shit.
Quite honestly the one that needs slamming is Zeckman. Savini only does every so often stories about the police but not as stupid, vendictive like Pam's. He has two kids that he raises basically all alone. He is a really nice guy in real life person. We all have jobs to do. I'm sure a lot of the people we lock up do not agree with us.

State law provides a minimum dollar amount for traffic crashes. If both drivers have insurance, there must be damage in excess of $1,500 to make reporting mandatory. Minor crashes, type A accidents are handled between the drivers. This crash changes with allegations of DUI impairment and a possible battery that occurred at the scene. Savini panicked and fled the scene. He also was drinking with children in the car. He should have known better not to flee the scene. Naperville PD are very experienced with DUI arrests.
Lets see if they post it on Tribune "breaking news" "mugs in the news" anyone want to take that bet ? if it was the police it would be up there for two weeks, we will see.
One of the worst things about Chicago broadcasting is that we have always treated the media like celebrities (radio and television) and the crooked politicians learned how to get favorable coverage by stroking the egos of the talking heads and inviting them to lunches and parties. It kills me when some of these "reporters" refer to themselves as "working journalists." There is an apt description in Britain where some of these people are called "news readers." Very few of these people does any actual investigative work. Their staff members read the newspaper and revise it and put it on the teleprompter. Just like Obama.

You're conveniently leaving out the fact that HE WAS DRUNK!!! Battered the other driver and drive away DRUNK with kids in the car.

But he didn't "relocate to a place that was safe" he was stopped on his way home after fleeing the scene if a battery. And btw what part of Naperville isn't safe?
Tonight at 10 "Tarnished Talkingheads" how professional armchair quarterbacks get intercepted and become the center of an investigation they couldn't wait to report. Fuck you Dave.
Thank you Naperville police. I want to buy you guys some beers.
I keep calling the news rome. ABC said that it is their policy "Not to bash the competition"…I asked how reporting truthful news that the people have a right to know is "bashing" and the girl responded "yeah, its our policy." I said it seems like a policy that stinks of corruption and cover up in the news media, and it is the opposite of truthful, transparent reporting and she was silent. This is a f'ing joke! When I called CBS they merely said "we have no comment at this time"…again, the black ink curtain lowered!

Dave Savini will have a good story to tell in AA meetings if he is lucky enough to make it that far.
No one is immune Dave. Alcohol is the great equalizer, it messes everyone up alike, reporters too. Some people learn their lessons the hard way.
Years back I saw a good documentary on the effects of drunk driving on the lives of the drunk drivers and people they injure or kill.
All interviews were of people convicted of killing someone while drunk behind the wheel. Then the program got to a self interview of the guy doing the narration, the producer of the film. He killed someone while driving drunk too.
Since he was a film producer, part of his sentence, after prison, was to make a film on the effects of fatal drunk driving accidents. It was a very well done film, done through the prism of compassion and humility obtained the hard way.
Maybe Mr Savini can take this spanking and become a more decent person, grateful that he didn't kill anybody.

oh this is too perfect. karma is a bitch but in this case karma did its job just right.
What a scumbag driving drunk with kids in the car. He should loose his job,the news media will protect him because it is one of there own, This guy is an asshole,I had dealings with him in the 10th district he hates police officers. I hope you loose your job jagoff.

Maybe because he was drunk,pushed the other party, and did not exchange information on scene. God your fucking stupid.
Look at his FACEBOOK photos....Lots of pictures with Alcohol in hand....kitchen has a lot of bottles on the counter. Looks like he likes his drinks.....
Hey SSC. You should try to set up something like face books "Like" for ur stories. Savini ur a piece of Caca
Live by the sword, die by the sword.
I would be (pruriently) interested in hearing about the foibles of our media darlings. Heard that Jane Pauley was caught in a compromising situation many years ago when she worked in Chicago.
The media gives extra reporting when the child of a particular well known sports coach is pulled over and found to be DUI.
'don't condone the kids driving under the influence, but there is no reason the media should give the extra coverage of it that they do. The kid is not a public figure.
This Savini guy, he's a public figure with resources to influence the public and its the sound of crickets as far as reporting on this guys DUI.

Even if it involves an allegedly drunk driver? Once he leaves that parking lot and drives onto the public way, with two children in the car, you don't think this changes the dynamics of the situation? That, plus according to the article, he pushed the other driver. This alleged battery certainly gives rise to police response.

You are correct, when the involved parties act like civilized human beings.
Everything changes when one or both of the drivers or the occupants of one or both of the involved vehicles start acting like assholes.
Plus, once others suspected Dave Savini was operating a vehicle while under the influence, was endangering the life of a child, and saw him flee the scene after giving the other driver a push, it was no longer a minor fender bender.
Think about it. Dave Savini amped up the whole situation and he should get it stuck right in his ass. Now, the situation would be perfect if Pam Zekman were the other driver.
Whaaat? He didn't get an award for his expose'on hotels and bedbugs? Oh, the humanity!
P.S. IF in fact CCSA Gina Savini IS his sister, she is a class act and should not be lumped in with his antics. Ask those coppers that attend the cop killer parole hearings. Yes, pro-police.
Just saying...
This was a minor parking lot fender bender by all accounts, with no injuries. Why call the police. In a large number of cities small, medium and large you don't call the police for a fender bender. Unless there are serious injuries they won't respond anyway. What you do is exchange insurance information and let your insurance companies handle any damages. The police are better employed spending their time on things other than minor fender benders.

Nice try, troll. What better things do the Naperville police have to do than stop a guy driving drunk with two children in his car? You prefer he be out on the road endangering your family? What an asshole you are! Now get back under the editor's desk and start tugging if you want to keep your job!

Maybe because he was DRUNK and committed a BATTERY? Stay off the blog Walter Jacobson
Yeah...
Are we going to see the media chasing Savini down the street for "stepping in it" just like they've done to Chicago Coppers?
Are Pam Zekman and Frannie Spielman going to jump out of the bushes with a camera crew as he's walking up to his front door with family members in tow and stick a mic in his face just like they do to Chicago Coppers?
Oh yeah... They'll be sure to "accidentally" fiilm his address while camped out in front of his house. Just like they do with Chicago Coppers.
Is the local media going to run this story ad nauseam because "the public has the right to know" just like they do with Chicago Coppers?
Are they going to mine Dave Savini's personal information and public records for public tittilation and tantilization at 5, 6 and 10 just like they've done to Chicago Coppers who "step in it?"
Granted... Every profession tends to protect their own but the hypocrisy of Chicago Media is an eye-watering stink in the nostrils of people who still believe in out-moded ideals like "fair and balanced" and respect for boundaries.
You see, professional whores like Chicago Media are the very first to "sue for peace" when they have to eat some old big and nasty crow ass first, feathers and all...
"Aww c'mon guys! You know how it is! Why are you so mad? Let bygones be bygones! The public DOES have a right to know about what you cops are doing, RIGHT? You guys ARE public SERVANTS afterall, RIGHT? Tax payers pay you guys salaries, RIGHT? You Chicago Coppers are always so angry for no good reason. Didn't you know it was going to be like THIS when you signed up for the job?"
you know this town has taken an irreversible turn for the worse when there is more courtesy, fear and respectful distance is WILLINGLY & INTENTIONALLY ceded to Dude Inc., the Catered To Constituency and it's armed, hyper-violent and death worshipping militia...
These reasons are why we hope and pray that all members of local media find themselves on the shit end of The Great Backwards Pimp-Walking & Intentional Targeted Destruction of THEIR profession, earning power, post retirement security and way of life...
Just like what they're laughing up their sleeves about at Chicago Coppers.
FWIW... We would love to see these pansies fighting with some Coppers over that last questionable onion in the produce section to mince up into the cat food we may all be having to eat.
Local Media is just like Joe Shit-Head and the "Co-Nuh Sto' Boys."
"Who had said sump'n? Dis wat we do!"
Both sets of low life m/fers will fight under a Copper's window for the joy of climbing inside and rifling through the kids underwear drawer for laughs...
The Police didn't break it.
It's beyond the ability of The Police to fix it...
If The Police were so empowered to fix it, everybody would scream and demand they do it with one hand tied behind their backs.
Hey! Where's that hot-potato of a Morale Survey that's been locked away and bricked behind a wall?
You know... The one that was going to portray Chicago Coppers as grinning and happily picking cotton for their masters on the Chicago Plantation of Political & Media Fuckery?
Releasing it in full will prove once and for all (Snicker!) that this blog is nothing but a bunch of bitter, cynical, under-worked, over-paid, hate-crazed, gun loving, heavy-fisted, racist "conservatives" who are wrong-headed for being so resistant in giving up their old fashioned traditions and manly/martial ideals for the new and cutting edge espoused by a cabal of smarter than thou L.E. gypsies from New Yuck and a prancing, tutu clad alien shit-ass always a heartbeat from tearing off his itchy "borrowed" human skin.
Another slanted anti-Police hit piece in 3... 2... 1...
"The Police ARE the problem in Chicago... Once we fix THEM, everything else will fall in place."
Viva Hate.

While that's partially correct, if Dave would have exchanged his information with the other driver, this may have been taken care of later. Police get called when one driver doesn't cooperate. Usually that driver is drunk or revolked. He can pay a lawyer to straighten it out. Won't be cheap and if he ever tries to ask me anything, I'll be asking about his DUI accident.

Dear Friend who wrote the above:
I beg to differ with you. The "fender bender" happened around midnight. Savini was arrested at 12:20 a.m. Traffic crashes happening around midnight are FREQUENTLY the result of a drunk driver causing the crash. So, if we follow your logic, then all of those drunk drivers should be free to leave the scene with no police involvement, free to CONTINUE to drive drunk, possibly causing another crash in which someone may get seriously injured, or even KILLED!
My question to you is: if Savini never had police involved in this incident, which is apparently your after-the-fact wish, and then he continued to drive drunk, and then caused another crash in which a family member or friend of yours was killed, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY THEN? And in this situation, Savini had minors in his car, allegedly his children. He could have killed them too, which is why he was also charged with Child Endangerment.
Most police officers I know avoid making a DUI arrest like the plague. Doing the field sobriety tests correctly, writing the numerous reports, and then getting grilled on the stand by arrogant defense attorneys at traffic court, is no picnic. If that is your attitude too, fine, I understand, but it is wrong to flatly imply that when fender-benders happen at midnight, the police should not be called to the scene.
If every traffic crash victim and every police officer followed your advice, MANY innocent people on the road would be critically injured and/or killed over the years.
I have had a number of cases with Asa Gina Savini and she is a dedicated supporter of the police. I have attended a lot of Parole hearings and Clemency requests of people convicted of killing the police, Gina represents the police and families, So far by my count Gina is winning 17-0. None have been released. We cannot be held accountable for idiot siblings. Hell! I have a sister who is a democrat, how do you think I feel.
GS in 025 is dancing for joy.
Why call the police? If you got hit by somebody who you believed to be intoxicated and had children in the car wouldn't you call the police?
Everybody makes mistakes, but when you act "holier than thou" and make a mistake you are going to get called out on it. Savini did an investigation on how many fireman, paramedics and policemen had gotten DUIs and that 80% of them beat it. Here is a news flash Dave, when I did my DUI training about ten years ago, 90% of people beat their DUIs in Chicago, only 10% beat their DUIs in the suburbs. I wonder how many of those cops and firemen had children in their car when they got their DUI? How many committed a battery? How many fled the scene?
You got a DUI in Naperville and additional charges, you better get a real good lawyer and hope for a good plea offer. Your career probably isn't finished, but now you have two paths to choose from. You can eat your piece of humble pie and use a little more discretion and perspective when you judge other people OR you can continue with your attitude like another Chicago reporter who had an alcohol related arrest and continue to exaggerate and bash the public sector.

Ummm...he was DUI. He had a couple of kids in the car. Or do you find it better to just exchange info and to allow him to drive away and get into another accident, possibly killing someone? You're a moron.

I went to his fb page a few days ago, when he was boasting all over the place about hammering some copper in an 'exclusive' coming up.
He spews every detail of his personal life on there, including every place he plans to go partying and drinking.
I thought it was weird that he would he mix his business life and personal life on that fb page, but if you want to know the next place he plans to go out and party, just check in there.

What an idiot you are. The police being called prevented him from continuing to drive drunk with his kids. And are you forgetting he committed a battery ? Police should have been called. More police do prevent crime in this case those kids are safe.

Oh i agree , but neither is running out of a store with a bag of chips when you get called for an in progress because you are the police and you take your job serious.... BUT!! the police are made examples of and this P.O.S. should be treated the same. Fuck him and his arrogant pompous ass. yes , minor! and ditto_ the media would be better employed / spending their time focusing on real news- the dirty rotten politicians and their bullshit stealing of our pensions!!!I need not say anymore
From his Facebook pictures there is a lot of photos with alcohol. It appears he may be sick and a round in an in treatment alcohol rehab facility may be in his near future. Looks like he needs help.
I can't imagine there will be any type of "motion to fix" out there in Naperville.
A while back a Naperville Police Sergeant stopped another Naperville Police Sergeant and had him arrested and processed for DUI. You think guys like that will give a break to a reporter who jackpots police?
Savini can count on spending at least $5,000 on a lawyer and possibly getting fired.
The same thing will happen to him as to many others, he will get a good DUI lawyer who will plead him to reckless driving and he will get supervision, get to keep his license, etc, etc, etc, he is a POS who was raised around Grand and Austin and went to Weber High School, he was taunted and teased while in grammar school and that is why he turned to the news and bullies everyone.

Re: Dss, desk sgt, Lts. Changes ..No one cares or is paying attention anymore...
The police had to be called to intervene. The man was drunk and he had minor children in the vehicle.
A couple of years ago, in the North suburbs, a police officer let a young motorist go after he promised to return to his home that was a few minutes away. In the space of a few blocks, the drunk driver struck a concrete wall which was part of a railroad viaduct killing himself in the process. But he was only a minute from his home.
In the aftermath, the parents sued and recovered several hundred thousands of dollars because the young adult would have lived had he been placed under arrest.
Book'em Danno!

Why don't you take your false premise and run away as fast and far as you can, hide and fuck yourself with it?
Coppers don't have oceans of ink, forests of trees for newsprint or online bandwidth enough to drive an agenda, intentionally mislead the public or run interference for political and corporate powers through the use of weasel words, slippery syntax, lies of omission, half truths and artful dodges.
Media mopes come to nowhere near the amount of grief Coppers do and media mopes get to shield their fuck-ups behind "personal business" while Coppers are outed at every turn.

As much anyone can despise him, he helped my daughter who got rejected for insurance. So, regardless anything, he saved the child of a law enforcement member. My daughter is well and super healthy because all he did.

He helped my family as well, a police and family. Because he exposed an insurance adjuster who was a crook, my elderly parents got money back that this crook stole. Dave Savini put the whole crooked operation on the run. They ripped off a lot of people for hundreds of thousands of dollars. My family's faith was restored because of what he did.
A minor fender bender is just a type A. As long as the parties shared their info I see no reason to wait for the police. I don't think it should be more than that just because he's a celebrity of a sort. Good luck Mr. Savini.
Shit I think that is front page news and the lead story for every news station in Chicago. What would happen if a off-duty p.o. Was involved in an auto accident, driving drunk, shoved the other person involved in the accident, fled the scene, and committed all of this while having his children in his car? Shit it would the news cast in every time slot in the news channels in Chicago. Fucking hypocrites the Chicago media, if I worked the beat that covers 26/cal I would write every news van every time they park illegally to cover a story, grow some balls sheriffs at 26/cal and 010!
This seems to fit right in with the now-former Grayslake chief arrested in Kenosha County for DUI and going armed while intoxicated after an accident. Grayslake was a "zero tolerance" town for DUI and the mayor was not amused with the chief.
Google " Dave Savini Facebook rant ." Was he drunk while writing this? It's very bizarre and rife with grammatical errors. What a jackass.

DUI, two counts; battery; leaving the scene; endangering the kids. That isn't any type A any more. He sort of jacks it up there. And he did that precisely because he was a celebrity of sorts. He can stand the same consequences as anyone else.
I sat with a copper who was under arrest for a DUI. Type A accident. He was in the hospital getting the blood draw sobbing like a grieving widow because he knew how badly he screwed up as a police officer.
Sorry for Mr Savini but he now has to face the music just as anybody has to face the music. He can be reasonably certain that in Naperville of DuPage County he will get a fair shake in court. Not like here in Cook County, the land of misdemeanor murder.

Hey moron, is a DUI with kids in the car and a battery a Type A? You are a fucking tool.
Hitler helped his friends, too. Do you think that makes him a good person? Asshat.
I'm really glad his sister is nice and that he helped some people out with their insurance. I still don't know how you are clinging to the argument that the police should not have been called. I would call the photograph of a license plate a part of exchanging information and if you were pushed away that is a battery and also a refusal to share your information. This guy has no problem putting a camera in the face or on the address of policemen which will be aired to millions of people, but he has a problem with a cell phone camera recording his license plate after a fender bender. He does an investigative piece on DUIs with police and fire but flees after a crash with two kids in the car? He is the definition of a HYPOCRITE. Everyone makes mistakes, he won't get fired for it and he could end up a better person as a result. If he gets sober his personal relationships probably will get better and he learned a lesson in life without running anyone over.
Time will tell.
This was a minor parking lot fender bender by all accounts, with no injuries. Why call the police. In a large number of cities small, medium and large you don't call the police for a fender bender. Unless there are serious injuries they won't respond anyway. What you do is exchange insurance information and let your insurance companies handle any damages. The police are better employed spending their time on things other than minor fender benders.

As much anyone can despise him, he helped my daughter who got rejected for insurance. So, regardless anything, he saved the child of a law enforcement member. My daughter is well and super healthy because all he did.

He helped my family as well, a police and family. Because he exposed an insurance adjuster who was a crook, my elderly parents got money back that this crook stole. Dave Savini put the whole crooked operation on the run. They ripped off a lot of people for hundreds of thousands of dollars. My family's faith was restored because of what he did.
A minor fender bender is just a type A. As long as the parties shared their info I see no reason to wait for the police. I don't think it should be more than that just because he's a celebrity of a sort. Good luck Mr. Savini.

What about DUI and battery? Fucking stroke.
Dave Savini is a pud.

Anyone remember the end of summer party each year at North Avenue Beach? That ended in the nineties cuz Savini did a big "exposee" about coppers drinking booze on Park District property. Oooooooh, Dave, good investigative chops!

That and there was a certain commander of 018 who ended the CPD beach detail because there was no crime there. When the police left, crime along the lake came back. The only thing that kept the beast away from the lakefront robbing and pillaging the sheep was the police detail. When it was a vacuum, the shithead filled it in.
I got in tug of war with a crowd of little jagoff Cabrini shitheads who thought they wanted my bicycle more than I wanted it. They didn't. That was a Sunday afternoon with crowds of people all around. Not one yuppie scum stopped to help or even look. That was the last time I went riding along the lake. At least ten years ago.

I was arrested several years ago for a crime i did not commit. CBS was a "financial associate" to a party involved in my arrest. Before the police even arrived, the news helicopter for circling the property. My arrest was even aired as a "special segment" on the 10pm news, stating over 15 factual errors. So many of my friends, employees, clients, and family contacted them, enraged, at the gross misrepresentation that the segment was not re-aired the following morning and has been pulled from the internet. WHY CBS WHY do you not have your helicopters circling Mr. Savinis property or making constant harrassing phone calls to his family?
The same people that over criticize Savini for one do not know him and second are hypocrites. As if they are perfect, they do not fool anyone.
It's a pimpy arrest, over zealous move by the suburbs. Let's be realistic, yes there's the black and white and then just not being able to look at the big picture. It was a minor accident blown out of context and sensationalized. He didn't even hit a puppy, get over it. And the Savini family has always been pro police.
Savini has helped tons of people, if you compare the amount of families he has helped to the mistakes he has made, he doesn't deserve to be crucified like this.
There's a lot of support for Dave. You can keep saying 'shut up Dave' but, there's actually people that we know him and know first hand how much he does for others and the amount of love he has for the police. So, save your 'shut up' because you do not even know him. He is far better than you when it comes to being there for people with needs. He has helped tons of law enforcement families. So shove it.
Don't forget to start writing those parking tickets and movers on all the tv trucks.

When you play the 'holier than thou' game, you set yourself up to be knocked off the pedestal you put yourself on.

Thanks Mrs. Savini

Now he's bragging about being back on air tomorrow night. Arrogance at its finest.
@ 1/06/2014 04:30:00 PM
"Pimpy Arrest?"
You're a fucking IDIOT!
Dave Savini could have killed himself, his kids and other people!
Fuck Dave Savini... Tell him to pull up his big girl panties and take his lumps like a man instead of him/his co-workers/family/friends posting on this blog trying to put out the fire being justifiably waved under his ass.
"The Savini family has always been pro Police."
That's fine and good. Dave obviously has a really big problem with Coppers.
@ 1/06/2014 04:34:00 PM
"...he doesn't deserve to be crucified like this."
Yes he DOES! as a matter of fact, he should have his life very loudly and publicly DESTROYED on the 5, 6 and 10 o'clock news on every station and in both major papers... You know... Just like what would happen to a Policeman. Right?
A Policeman is never given the mercy and consideration that you wet-eyes loudly plead for on Savini's behalf.
"He shoulda known better!"
Dave should be behind bars... Why not? It's good enough for the Cops when they step in it, right?
@ 1/06/2014 04:39:00 PM
YOU shove it!
Dave Savini allegedly helping "tons of law enforcement families" is the equivalent of dick-all given his arrest and pending trial for DUI and Battery.
Maybe the judge will be more sympathetic than the target audience here...
What's up with Dave bumping his gums on Twitter about how he was going to take it hard to a suburban cop?
Hmm... Dave does seem to have his problems with L.E.
His last post is dated January 3rd, before his incident. Stop hating on the guy. He was not bragging.

Shut up, asshat. When he got drunk and drove with kids in the car, caused an accident and battered the other driver, he wasn't helping anyone.
Now go fetch your fucking shine box. And find him a program to get into. It sounds like he really needs one.

Karma, it hit other reporters in the past too. Great

1/06/2014 04:02:00 PM
A Helicopter? What the hell did you do?
He has helped more people than we in Law Enforcement have? Wow and I haven't even seen him on the street. He makes his living on others and when he does wrong he is holier than thou. What an arrogant Bastard.

Yea DUI and Child endangerment is Pimpy. Can the Savini family please go back to the CBS web site and stop trying to BS the rest of us.
A PO and a fellow Weber Alumni. Karma is sure a bitch Dave. :)
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!

This was a minor parking lot fender bender by all accounts, with no injuries. Why call the police. In a large number of cities small, medium and large you don't call the police for a fender bender. Unless there are serious injuries they won't respond anyway. What you do is exchange insurance information and let your insurance companies handle any damages. The police are better employed spending their time on things other than minor fender benders.

Unless the other party is refusing to exchange information, attempting to leave the scene without exchanging information, pushes you when you go to take a picture of his license plate, is drunk and has kids in the car. Then you should probably call the police.

His fb page has been heavily edited since 'his incident'.
Ha Ha Dave. You are fucked out here because you have no clout in the Du Page. Berlin isn't going to risk his reputation helping him out either. And we jurors are not impressed with his sissy bitch tv act. I would strongly suggest he plead out if he has a BAC over .08. If I am called he is toast as long as the cops can demonstrate he was DUI. I'm a Du Page juror who will convict a ham sandwich. I don't like crime in my neighborhood. Keep it in the city where it belongs. Naperville is not Chicago. I think taking your kids to Taco Bell and feeding them that crap is prima facie child endangerment too. What is the matter with you?
Shut up dave!!
". . . feel free to share the link here is my investigation into an Elmwood Park police sergeant that has escaped being fired after a series of allegations over the last few years.. "
From Dave Savini's Facebook post on 02 Jan 2014
Hey Dave, they're allegations, remember. You want to get fired for other people (co-workers)who ALLEGE you are an AH. Oh, sorry, bad example, everyone thinks you're an AH.
And you continued earlier saying ". . . I live for this shi#," When you're being followed around like a lost puppy, for the current mess you got into, remember KARAMA IS A BITCH ! ! ! And it's about to slap you in the face.
