Park Legally
We have no idea how many times we've reminded people - park legally or you may pay the price. Like this poor bastard way up north in Edison Park:

Ald Blacer parks illegal with his Purple Heart plates but nobody has the stones to ticket
I'd like to buy that officer a cocktail!
What is the meaning of this?
Should of towed it too. You think those people at the pound will release it without a big hastle. Had a unmarked "M" plate towed by these morons at a crime scene.
I could care less, but the bosses had grief getting it out without a lot of crap.
We all know they will be coming to 016 and looking for coppers car's with FOP stickers on them and looking to write numerious parkers for BS. Yes, there are still copper' that use the stickers on their cars.
Revenue hate copper' and do not care you are the police. If you Pinch them for anything, you better dot all the i and be 100 percent right to pinch them.
Total BS and sad that these people go out of their way to write copper' vehicle.
That ticket shown is non suited before the ink dryed.
About time, don't you think?
I would like to buy the copper who wrote that ticket a drink (coffee, of course).
Love it. I have never seen one of those cars when working VRI. FUCK this city, Rahm, and McCarthy.
Fuck 'em....and Rahm too!
Awesome!
Never give up, but the civilians will just non-suit it. They do it all the time. Any reporters trolling?
Bravo 016!
We must share this picture everywhere! Lol.
Irony defined.
OT. iI would like to address the residence issue, as a young police officer I could only hoped they would lift the residency. I would of loved to raise my family in Park Ridge or Orland Park, but the fact is its only a bargaining tool for the city. The city says drop the residency from negations and we will give this, guess what boys and girls we get !ucked, leave the residency alone, its not gonna go away. I raised my family in this shit hole and turned out OK. If you grew up in the suburbs take the test there and you wont have to live here. Sorry Im kinda venting Thanx SCC
Not a complaint, just a question.
Was the CPM vehicle in a tow zone or on a hydrant or some other no brainier illegal spot?
I've written a few of the CPM vehicles for bus stops and the like while OTJ with Finance...but we were told they don't have to pay meters if they are checking vehicles or working on the pay boxes.
http://rt.com/usa/cop-snowball-felony-chicago-168/
I would pay top dollar to see more of those "parking enforcement officers" getting their asses handed to them, along with a pink slip. Instead the democratic media posts stories on dog asses fishing for disability claims.
LOL I luv it
OT- Lift residency, my home value has already dropped by 30% even with ALL city workers still living here. I want out, and believe me I'm already seeking employment elsewhere just in case residency isn't lifted. So GFY with your negative comments, this city and department are not what they used to be, and it is on the way to being Detroit even with city workers living here.
No police for 016 but they do have an army of meter maids up there hammering the working stiffs. "Pay your taxes and shut your mouth!" -Rahm
Well done very nice to whoever did this great job.
On another note sgt Maria whiteside is coming to midway any info?
Give that copper a cigar.
They've been up here in the neighborhood ticketing like a swarm of angry hornets. It's great to see CPD tagging them. They always park on hydrants, or on the corners, or in the bus stops. This should happen citywide. Maybe then you could stop to pick up a pop, or sandwich for lunch without a 2 dollar stop at the meter box!

I don't have a problem writing these idiots who have no problem and or mercy on our cars ,so I have no problem or thinking twice when they park illegally or without placing a parking sticker in their windshield at the pay boxes. And i don't non suit them either. FUCK THEM!! They always come running from down the street screaming that's my car that's my car, i work with you guys! and I reply no you don't! because we don't write other coppers but you, you're quick to write coppers so if we have to pay to park , SO DO YOU! have a nice day and make sure you park legally and pay them pay boxes, you're not exempt!
So great job to whoever wrote that ticket on the PRIVATE COMPANYS' illegally parked vehicle !!! and great job too if it was a revenue car! either way both revenue and private ( LAZ vehicles and private ticket writing company can go kiss my ASS!! )
Off topic but big changes coming to VRI. Department going to cut back number of officers daily, maybe by March 15 th. They say it's because the money is drying up but it's really about the lack of activity by members working the program. Hope you all enjoyed it while it lasted
Rahm will not like this.
O.T. SCC ,
I just heard over the weekend.
I read a thread recently somewhere here about squad car shortages in districts and this weekend I heard that the auditors ( we have auditors? ) were in the 12th district where they are down 15 cars and , were told that they have too many vehicles, so the 12th district might be getting vehicles taken away from the district to be reassigned elsewhere. They counted the # of beats and then the number of cars assigned and came to the conclusion that there's way to many cars.... huh?????? really??
can anyone chime in on this and confirm if its true that they can or will do that? I have no doubt that raccoon eyes is behind taking away from us but have you ever heard of this happening? pretty soon we'll be policing like back in the early years of policing where we walk everywhere and there will be call boxes on every corner for us to call in and see if there are any assignments pending!! ha!
All you morons crying about lifting residency have no idea about anything do you? Most of you paid way too much for your homes in the first place. You realize you'll be upside down on your home. If you don't know what that means, it's this that 300k or 400k house you bought 5-6 years ago will be worth 150k, so when you try to buy your next 3-400k house in Park Ridge or Orland you can tack the difference onto you're mortgage. Also look at the tax bills, those of us paying 3-4k in property tax will be whacked with a 10-11k property tax bill. So the young officer at 01:56am with English as a second language and the GFY officer at 03:14am, leave this job and go join a suburban departments and live there. You would be a fool to stay in this state after you retire anyways. So why the hell would you want to move out anyways? Look at these burbs, Park Ridge...shithead steals car with baby in it, Orland Park mall looks like Evergreen Plaza did in the late 80's when it started to go. I know you're young and know everything about everything but you obviously know jack shit.
Guess a C.R, number is coming for the officer. Or now just a can of worms has been opened. Now you'll see Parking Enforcement writing illegally parked police vehicles.
Now if only some coppers would grow a set and start writing movers to the CTA BUS DRIVERS! They are the worst drivers out there.
That's for the children!
Off Topic It amazes me to listen to coppers berate Our Superintendent, I don't like him but he doesn't matter the previous and te future ones will be the same. he is doing exactly what the mayor wants. He is no different then all previous deputies and up excluding a very small percent. Like all other city depts. it's a simple program you put somebody in charge when it gets real bad or there is a scandal you replace, that boss takes complete responsibility, you give them a nice pension and repeat. You just have to remember the rotation so you can appease whatever minorities turn it is. The only difference with Rahm is he's smarter more ruthless and has much stronger, richer friends so he doesn't have to replace them as fast. So quit worry about the supt. he is a non entity. You should have 2 major concerns your pension and healthcare everything else is nonsense.
They are in 016 but I never see them in 011. Why is that? As if I don't know why.
Nicely done officer !
Heard a lot of grumbling from those working vri. The taxman cometh and it comes for that extra income. Looks like you need to work more vri to pay the taxmen. Sucks to be making all that loot an putting you in a higher tax bracket. You all are like crack heads grinding your teeth for your next vri fix.
Ald Blacer parks illegal with his Purple Heart plates but nobody has the stones to ticket
2/23/2014 12:07:00 AM
++++++++++++++++++++
Purple Heart and a Bronze Star earned in Vietnam. I say he gets a pass.
Anybody who earned a purple heart is ok in my book. Has nothing to do with having the stones or not!
The. City gives them police looking stars and out of Townes think they are the police. They frequent the 008 th district also looking for POs vehicles. I life in a zone area and I watch them walk down the middle of the street and when they spot FOP stickers they head right fir the vehicle and check for the zone number.
Love it. I have never seen one of those cars when working VRI. FUCK this city, Rahm, and McCarthy.
Ironic.
If working VRI, you AND Rahm are fucking the whole department. Right in the ass.
And by the way! I am a firm believer that any VRI Whore automatically loses their right to bitch about any part of the next contract.....or not being able to get time off....or their terrible seniority.....or their shitty furlough. Make sure you call these scab motherfuckers out when you see them constantly whoring themselves out working VRI AND bitching about ANY of these issues.
And chances are, just like a NFL or NBA athlete, they are likely not living within their means even with the extra cash flow. When their smug gravy train ends they will still be in debt. VRI does not magically give you money managing skills. Most of you fucks are just pissing that extra cash away. Fuck VRI and all the assholes that keep signing up for it.

A former Marine with a Purple Heart? An Alderman, who sits on the Police/Fire Committee, why would you want to ticket the guy? Over where he parks? Screw that.
There are many more deserving souls. He can park wherever he wants as far as I am concerned. I'll save my tickets for others.

My exact thought.
The only reason they like writing coppers is because they didnt pass the police test,it gives them some kind of power in their head..I would hammer them any chance i could....
3:14am
Godspeed to you, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Within a year you'll be bitching about your new department and the section 8 people in your highly property taxed suburb.
Residency: It should be an issue in EVERY contract negotiation. It does not matter whether you are for or against it; make it an issue and refuse to drop it without some MAJOR concessions. For example: Residency lifted after 5 years, or a mile limit, or a stipend, tax giveback. Stop being weak little Sheeple about it. Fight back for once. Pull your head out and look around: EVERYONE who has fought it has won concessions.
Love it. Please keep those tickets coming. And pictures too.
OT: There was a burglary on Catalpa in Forest Glen 016 - that was in progress/home invasion. The juvenile girls that were home didn't answer the door right away and soon after offenders kicked in the rear door and the young girls fled out the front and called 911. Just as was the case last night at Devon & Oak Park, the call taker initially had this call as a suspicious person.
First, Strip 016 of its police protection and then when the residents actually need some help, the call taker is either too lazy or too stupid to do the right thing.
All this for my newly-increased tax dollars. I can't wait to leave this drain-circling city.
the man has purple heart plates and you want to give him a ticket. What a scum bag you must be. God bless all our wounded warriors.
The revenue ticket lady parks her car backwards in the Beverly Bank lot at 103rd and Walden and watches who parks and goes into Calabria without paying for parking. She then walks very fast to the car and tickets it. Only tickets the white people though. God Bless America.
Ald Blacer parks illegal with his Purple Heart plates but nobody has the stones to ticket. Ald Pope has no front plate on his suv and blows stop signs but nobody has the nads to ticket.
Not bad but shoulda taped a flare to a gas can and threw it under the car.
SCC, if I'm not mistaken, this vehicle is not part of the city's fleet, but to the civilian company which collects monies for parking meters. So I say ticket them.
f@ck1n' A+!

Well for starters its not a bargaining tool for the simple fact that its written into state law. What is more troubling though is your childish attitude that just because you did it,everyone after you has to do it. You didn't turn out ok fuckin baby.Sounds more like whining than venting..just sayin dude.

Outfuckinstanding!!
Its all about the benjamins, y'all. They got their minds on your money, and your money from a fine.
The meaning of it is that the assholes have been hitting Edison Park non-stop, all day, all night. They wait in their cars to catch people. I doubt they do this on the west or south side. If they did, the fake reverends would call a news conference and say their communities are being targeted because they're black. It's okay to target the neighborhood where people pay the most taxes though.
Off-topic. Jailed Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik, who killed 77 people, is going on hunger strike, citing "inhumane prison conditions". Among his demands is that prison authorities upgrade his Playstation 2 to Playstation 3, and a better selection of adult games. Times are sure tough for not only the police, but the criminals too..

Game on !!!
Who cares how your kids (luckily) turned out. The residency requirement is ridiculous and our current mayor wasn't even bound by it.
...and stay out of the friggin Fire Lane in the suburbs.
As Democrats get more desperate to find other people's money to finance their dying cities, police will be called upon to devote more and more time to revenue collection.
In the near future, most sworn LE will simply be tax collectors and compliance enforcers for corrupt urban Democratic-run governments.

Most south side districts gave up one car to help out 001 due to an incident involving a crane.
2/23/2014 02:58:00 AM
If you are going to be a dick and call someone clueless at least know that Chicago State is not in 001.
I'd like to know who the owner is of the "leaning water tower" building. Cited since 2004 and nothing done........no fines? Then it is gone in a nanosecond. Anyone in the know?
Also look out for revenue enforcers on bikes. Yep, on bikes but they seem to not know that they have to follow the same rules of the road as vehicles do, like stopping at stop signs and red lights. They can be ticketed as well. Happy hunting you all, hit me where it hurts.
OT-Headlines in the online Tribune: "Off-duty cop shoots man after restaurant disturbance". Then you click on the article and the second headline reads: "Off-duty officer shoots 1 after NW side disturbance". Trying to entice the readers into believing an unarmed man was shot. The article goes on to say the offender pointed a gun at the officer. A little more than a disturbance. Blatant media bias and hatred for Chicago Police Officers. How about "Off-duty cop shoots man with a gun". No pride, no professionalism, just gutter journalism in a "Staff Report" by the Tribune.

It sounds like the squad policing is getting rave reviews downtown. Crime is down, Parker's, Movers and ANOVS are way up as are Contact Cards. Looks like it will be implemented city wide next year. Anyone I hear from a Pilot Dist is complaining about it, but must not be brave enough to stand up for themselves. It would NEVER work in a district with real police
I'm sorry but could we once all stand up together to show our displeasure with the manpower issue. The Mayor and Supt think of us all as a bunch of spineless pussies afraid of our own shadow and I actually think they are right. All the sacrifices of our now retired brothers are all for naught. Within 5 yrs we could conceivably be minimum wage Paul Blarts.
how bout they find a sticker or something that could say they are revenue workers on their personal vehicles that way we would have a way to give them a break, in the end its the city that wins by getting the money both ways !

Actually, Detroit is better off than Chicago is right now! They are reorganizing, investment is coming back, and Michigan has a surplus because it's run by Republicans. After Detroit lifted residency, it took 11 years for almost half of working cops to move out.
Those of you who want residency to stay are gripped by fears that you'll have to drive farther or your real estate will fall. It's amazing how weak. lazy and cowardly people have become. Grow some balls, and grow a brain. Are things getting better under the Democrats?
If Republicans take hold in Springfield, residency will go away faster than a fart in a funnel cloud. Just like in Detroit and Milwaukee.

Bullshit! VRI has always been about VISIBILITY and the public perception that there are enough police on the streets. What the downsizing may really about, if you paid attention to the LT at South a few months ago, is that VRI South was down about 15 cars. Some teams had 4 PO's per vehicle. Don't know if North was also down vehicles. It makes NO sense to be running 200+ PO's in kne of the worst winter seasons in Chicago history and then turn around just as Spring is approaching and cut the roster size. Bullshit, the city has an insufficient amount of vehicles to properly run the program.
And by the way! I am a firm believer that any VRI Whore automatically loses their right to bitch about any part of the next contract.....or not being able to get time off....or their terrible seniority.....or their shitty furlough. Make sure you call these scab motherfuckers out when you see them constantly whoring themselves out working VRI AND bitching about ANY of these issues.

The City will never lift residency and we already went to court, and lost, regarding residency with the City. I seriously doubt that is something the FOP will take up again. The world and the police department did not begin whenever all you folks came on the job who are screaming about residency now. 25 or so years ago there was a court battle. Lawyers would have to look up that case and find a new argument.

Yes dumbass it is burglary. You have to use violence or threaten the use of violence toward someone in the home in order for it to be a home invasion. Know the laws you're paid to enforce.
I lived in Naperville. Taxes were not high. Best schools in the country-free! City services are great.

Great comment and so true. Did someone forget to tell them about the residency requirement when he or she took the job. To every CPD copper, did somebody force you to take the job. We all go in knowing the rules. If you don't want to live in the city, don't take the fucking job. The only suburb that you could afford a home and the taxes would probably be Robbins or Ford Heights. The grass is not always greener on the other side. Most suburbs are very strict on any work done on your house or property. Your costs for garbage pick-up and things like plowing are double and triple for the rates we pay in taxes. If do buy in a subdivision, first you pay association fees, second you have to follow guidelines on what you change on your property. My son's subdivision only allows wrought iron fences, in-ground pools and they even dictate what kind of trees you can plant on your property. Put in a paver brick patio. Has to only be a certain size, plus you need a building permit to have it put in. Then it has to be inspected after every step. So quit, move to the suburbs and get 2-3 jobs for the luxury. As for me, I'm staying until I put in my papers. At least I put in my deck and wooden fence myself with no permit. All my neighbors are city workers, they would never drop a dime on me.

Off Topic It amazes me to listen to coppers berate Our Superintendent, I don't like him but he doesn't matter the previous and te future ones will be the same. he is doing exactly what the mayor wants. He is no different then all previous deputies and up excluding a very small percent. Like all other city depts. it's a simple program you put somebody in charge when it gets real bad or there is a scandal you replace, that boss takes complete responsibility, you give them a nice pension and repeat. You just have to remember the rotation so you can appease whatever minorities turn it is. The only difference with Rahm is he's smarter more ruthless and has much stronger, richer friends so he doesn't have to replace them as fast. So quit worry about the supt. he is a non entity. You should have 2 major concerns your pension and healthcare everything else is nonsense.

Some people would bitch no matter who is Superintendent. Weis was clueless, but at least made some good changes. Everybody wanted him dumped. Well you got your wish, but McMoron besides being a clueless puppet is a total self-centered pompous, ignorant prick. He is here for the money not because he cares. I knew the first day he showed up at HQ, all the coppers outside smoking said good morning sir. Fucking asshat looked at everyone and never said a word. He looked at everybody with a you aren't shit expression. He doesn't care about this department or anyone who is a part of it. Any supervisor who openly berates his command staff in front of anybody doesn't deserve to be the leader of this department. Only good thing is he is never out in the districts.
Box 1...Burglary...Box 2...Home Invasion....On the Case Report.........
Well for starters its not a bargaining tool for the simple fact that its written into state law. What is more troubling though is your childish attitude that just because you did it,everyone after you has to do it. You didn't turn out ok fuckin baby.Sounds more like whining than venting..just sayin dude.

What about the written into law Pension guarantee's-asshat??

Because just like everywhere else in the department a Lt. is not a needed position anymore. What does a Lt. even do besides come in late, sit in an office, watch tv, go on facebook, deflect all responsibilities to Sgts. and go home early!

So, you do not object to the aforementioned activities, just the place they are performed?
I was out to dinner in the EP area the last 2 wknds and observed the meter maids out in full force. They were even writing the valets for not parking cars fast enough and leaving them in the loading zone. The poor valet kids were sprinting to park cars.
When the victim can give you a description of offenders who just kicked in you door it's not at burglary ....... Do the right thing and stop worrying about being yelled at by the supt
No one except one of those goofball private meter ticket writers would write someone bearing Purple Heart license plates.

Go spew your "reverse racism" bullshit some where else. I'm black and I've been ticketed in this exact location as well.
2/23/2014 06:48:00 PM
There is no such thing as "reverse racism," only racism. Black people don't own the word.
definition:
racism
1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.
Regarding Ald. Balzer and his parking: If he has Military Honoree plates such as Purple Heart plates, he would get no tickets from me, EVER. Any Military Honoree plate, such as CMOH, POW, Bronze or Silver Star gets a pass.
Also, check the ILCS. Years ago there was a provision that Military Honoree plates are exempt from time-based parking restrictions.
No pass for hydrants or bus stops, but anything else. Rush hour parking, expired meters. Could also argue that the December-April snow route parking is in there, too.
Regarding residency: Issue has come up before. In the early '90's it was hot issue. But there were sharp divides on it. At that time the press published a report that about 25% of the CPD lived on the NW side, 016. And a good number of white collar City workers.
They wanted to hear nothing of dropping residency because they feared that that they paid $170K would go back down to its more real value, about $90K.
Now 016 is no longer the garden paradise, the housing values are not rising fast enough for a house to be an investment vehicle. And where are you going to go? Suburbs may not be a paradise, financially or otherwise. Gas prices will go up, raising your commuting expense.

For all the " real police" who keep bitching about what happened in 016 being downgraded, and many people have said it here already. It was classified correctly. Making a bs arrest every day just so you can have an arrest every day does NOT make you the. " real police". Knowing the law is our job. People were home and upon being confronted by home owners offenders fled. It's an 0610. If they forced thier way in knowing people were present and confronted the homeowners with a weapon then it's a home invasion. This isn't difficult. Know the law. And no I don't work in 016

Make sure you call these scab motherfuckers out when you see them constantly whoring themselves out working VRI AND bitching about ANY of these issues.
And chances are, just like a NFL or NBA athlete, they are likely not living within their means even with the extra cash flow. When their smug gravy train ends they will still be in debt.

No sense in arguing about the home invasion law. Below is a copy of the Illinois state statute as written.

PS Also an affirmative defense if you leave when you discover someone is home. Sounds crazy,but included in the statute

I agree - the term "Burglary" connotes a crime of stealth. These latest tactics have elevated it to Robbery Status and these so-called "Burglaries" should be dealt with accordingly instead of labelling them with misleading definitions. When you break into someone's home knowing that they are present or should be present (i.e. cat burglars) OR if the would be burglar encounters occupants and does not cease and desist, the crime should be elevated to a Robbery. So all you Illinois Compiled Statutes experts out there who seem determined to undermine the seriousness of these incidents by correcting others and note that these are only "Burglaries", keep drinking the koolaid. Your disingenuous comments suggest that these incidents are not in actuality Home Invasions which in fact they are even though they are downgraded, miscategorized and minimized by our department. You nit-pickers do not understand that you are aiding and abetting an illegitimate method not even recognized by FBI crime stats of characterizing a serious crime. We need to have a law enacted changing these to Robberies - which in fact they are. The person being present during a burglary changes everything and elevates it to a new level.

But please show me in writing where in the Chicago MCC that exemption exists. Because if it doesn't and you just hand a pass because you agree with the ILCS code over the Chicago MCC you are Paid to Enforce as a Police Officer...than you are no longer allowed to enforce a single rush hour or street cleaning or Meter or RPP or any other Time Restriction unless you are a dyed in the Blue Hypocrite.

My last few years on I simply stopped writing tickets etc. that would bring revenue to the city. I was morally opposed to anything that would screw the hardworking citizens and bring money in so the corrupt stuttering prick and later the asshole ballerina could do what they wanted except for funding our pensions.
Eat my shorts if you don't like it. I am a dyed in the wool do what the hell I want type of copper. I learned who deserved a ticket and who didn't and who deserved to go to jail and who deserved the pass etc. The hell with City ordinances.

Glad you're man enough to make that statement from behind the Anonymous world of this blog.
You may not agree with the other poster..but he or she is 100% correct. Police are indeed allowed discretion with enforcement of Parking violations.
However...the way I was taught was If I extend a courtesy on a particular violation..I don't write them at all for the rest of the shift. I've seen Cops issue street cleaning and rush hour tickets for cars galore in various districts...but skip a Beer Truck blocking the Bike Lane or parked on a Hydrant "oh their just making a delivery."
All or none you do nothing stroke...it is just that simple.

Do you people really think that ticketing the LAZ meter vehicles is a big deal. you will never see that ticket paid by them, it will be non-suited by the city. these idiots don't care, because it's not their car. And we don't have any bosses in this city who have the balls to chase them out of their district, why should they risk their big money job for coppers who don't want to feed the meters. PAY UP.

I Concur with that...
The 10th District had some of the best street bosses anywhere. Many of them were "Old School", not merit promoted and knew how to take care of the troops and prevent problems.
They even knew how to keep a sense of humor and have fun with the job no matter what.
It's a shame that one of the best places to work has been spoiled by micromanagement, or rather mismanagement by people who have no clue and were never the Real Police.
"But for crying out loud..."
My Dad who turned 90 last week says that.
I had an unmarked squad car with an "M" plate parked where the sign read,
Parking for police vehicles only.
Moron slapped a ticket on the car.
Was at a meeting at 900 W Exchange today and this was brought up by our Dept Director.
Policy Statement by him was "Since CPM expects the City Employees to pay the meter for their M Plates...the City Expects CPM to park Legally if they are not on a Meter during their operational shifts. Illegally Parked? Hammer them. I will not be non-suiting any tickets they get!"
2/23/2014 12:45:00 PM
Sorry dude... Unless you stop them for a Mover in a Motorvehicle or BLOWING a stop light/sign... the ticket isn't going to stick. And the Light/Sign ticket will be dismissed by the Judge when they review your Ticketing History for those violations for Bike Riders.
OO1 PO tried that on a Revenuer on a bike back in 09 after seeing the POS write an M Plate for IDK what.
Their Security staff showed up with a LT and they made the LT tell the PO to void the ticket on site.

Last PO that ticketed a Revenue M Plate took a CR hit from the IG over it. Seems he 'airmailed' a street cleaning ticket because they got to his 'holy gold' street cleaning before he did.
And remember. While we are working the streets...revenue could retaliate by checking the parking lots at the districts for compliance violations..
How many of us coppers have cars or trucks with no front plate because we go from our garage/driveway to the parking lot?
And since it is a City Lot, the WC or DC couldn't do shit to stop the inspection. Or follow up of a Boot Van drive through like they already do in CTA lots.
We still have a few areas we can park that they can't Go. But that is changing this year. Source at Law Department told me the other day that the Street Ops Director submitted a Document stating the intent of their staff to start issuing Compliance Tickets on private property and they are using Unit 212 as proof it isn't a violation of State Law to do so within the City Limits.
Alderman Burnett is looking at this with interest due to the potential revenue sources in the CBD alone.
2/27/2014 07:40:00 PM
I remember hearing about that one over the air. As I remember it, PO said he watched as the dude on a bike wrote the 2 ISP vehicles parked in the Bus Stop at Clark/Lake and the U Plate Arson Investigator..but didn't do shit until he then tagged 4 marked CPD vehicles in the Turn Lanes/Tow Zones.
Heard later that the then Street Ops director had just gotten divorced from her CPD Sgt hubby..and blasted the memo out 'putting blame on a media story about CTA cheating meters with their vest." or some shit like that. Funnily enough...the b%tch was clouted from 20th Ward.
