Thank Goodness!
We wondered when some politician was going to do something about this out-of-control criminal activity!
- Arguing that there are “a lot of weirdos roaming around,” Chicago aldermen moved Friday to close a local legal loophole that opens the door to an insidious practice known as “upskirting”: using a cellphone camera to secretly take video or photographs up a woman’s skirt or down her blouse.
The Finance Committee approved the crackdown at the behest of two powerful aldermen—Finance Committee Chairman Edward Burke (14th) and Education Committee Chairman Latasha Thomas (17th).
What would we do without the Finance Committee stepping up to the plate? This needs IMMEDIATE attention you know:
- Thomas acknowledged that she knows of no “specific instances” of upskirting in Chicago. But she’s not about to wait around for it, either. Not with entire websites devoted to the term.
“I was shocked to have state supreme courts saying you don’t have a privacy right when someone takes a picture under your skirt. Just to make sure there’s no question in Chicago, we went on and did that,” Thomas said.
Nothing like anticipating the problem and doing something about it - even in the absence of a problem...or a single instance of the problem. And pay no attention to this contrary article by the Tribune:
- But an Illinois state law that went into effect in 2005 makes it a crime punishable by jail or prison time to videotape or transmit live video “under or through the clothing” of another person “for the purpose of viewing the body of or the undergarments worn by that other person without the person’s consent.”
The ordinance proposed by Burke and Thomas has identical language, but instead of carrying potential time behind bars only allows for a fine of up to $500.
So the aldercreatures write an identical law for something that might happen one day and drop the penalty from prison to $500 bucks.That's fucking BRILLIANT!
Now how about passing something concerning Chicago's inability to pay its pension obligations, which by the way, are required by Ordinance, Contract and State Law.

Hey SCC, maybe the expected financial WINDFALL OF FINES collected for this new municipal ordinance can all be directed to bailing out the various pensions!
Kind of like the lottery sales being slated as to be used only to salvage our education system here in Illinois...right?
Can you say "revenue generation"? You write a local ordinance violation ticket to the perv, he avoids jail time and the City collects $500. Safe to say that the aldercreatures will be looking for lots more of these opportunities to duplicate a state law with a local ordinance that has a big fine as the penalty.
I saw this earlier but didn't read the whole thing.
Just wondered why were they just now making this a law and continued to search for todays body count. Seems to be none.. Yet. suck it Chalkie.
>Squeeky-Squooky-Squeek!<
Yet another freshly twisted, shiny and brightly colored balloon critter of distraction in this long running circus of fuckery.
Busy busy!
Gotta give the impression that they're doing "something" even though their solution to everything wrong with this city involves giving The Police a back-hand slap across the mouth.
"You Cops and that blog are what's wrong with Chicago..."
Goddamn Fast Eddie Burke. Absolutely worthless. He's Mike Madigan level scum.
So, when dude is video taping me...I can write him an anov if my undershirt is visible... right?
Thanks for creating a situation where a lawyer can argue that his client is a victim of uneven enforcement of the law. After all, why is his client getting jail and not a fine only? Good going!
Off topic. Rahm was run out of 003 today at the anti violence fest or whatever it was. He was literally booed until he tucked his tail between his legs and ran away.
The alderthieves rewrote the law to be fine-only offense. Just another money grab.
Should just write the ordinance to say that if someone up-skirts you without permission, you can beat his/her @ss and be done with it. Nothing like good, old fashioned street-adjudication.
OT:
So a man was interviewed for TV News today who was at a rally to stop the violence in Chicago.
Rahm Emanuel and Father Pfleger were @ the rally smiling away like it was a big deal and look at them.
Anyway, the man said and I quote: War is hell, street war is social.
Do you get it?? And the jerks standing there...Rahm and the Father included, kept on smiling. And the rally folks will get money too. Bet on it. We are doomed.
Sergeant test results in approximately 3 weeks. Per Bernstein after consulting with city. Bernstein usually on his game (90-95%) with his info. Good luck to all who studied hard.
I agree with you SCC - with ALL the issues facing Chicago, this is NOT a priority issue.
How about fixing the number of Aldermen in city council to 20?
Now THAT would bear some positive results, not to mention a REAL cash savings that could be directly paid into pension shortfalls from the day it gets initiated.
Cut 30 Aldermen and their total compensation and ward discretionary money out of the budget and put that money in shoring up the pension.
Chicago 20 by 2020. Come on - this could be a BIG campaign!!! Let's get behind it!! Where are the Bumper Stickers?
Not a LEO, JAFO
OLD RETIRED GUY HERE AGAIN .......!
I could not sleep last night. I got up thinking, about a subject brought up in previous posts. Is there some way we could let the "powers to be" know we want some honor to Mayor Jane Byrne ? I think, as I assume others, that the purposed park at Columbus Dr. and Randolph St. would be perfect.
PS: Thanks Again SCC. Without You,

Yet another shining example of why we need to cut our aldercreatures in half or more.
Their pensions and Cafillac health care are never in jeopardy so they couldn't care less about the huge issues with our pensions.
Did you see how the state wants to pay parents to drive thei kids to school if they live in certain neighborhoods? Does the state have that much money burning a hole in its pocket that we know pay people to take their kids to school. What a fucking joke this place is.
A tad off topic but if anyone has time please read this article about how the state is strongly considering reimbursing CPS parents for so-called transportation costs along Safe Passage routes? A state senator from Maywood believes that taxpayers should give money to parents of kids who live along Safe Passage routes to hire someone to drive their kids! Another nonsense subsidy that will 100% be abused. Oh, I'm sure mom is gonna use that money to organize a car pool. This is another fine example of paying for votes. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/clout/chi-safe-passage-reimbursement-measure-picks-up-steam-20140523,0,7571401.story
BRILLIANT!
That's ANOV BRILLIANT!
Get your pens ready,. . . just in case!
Another brilliant idea. Pay baby mamma's to drive there little ones to school.
I can smell the fraud already.
would set up a system to provide parents with a reimbursement to pay someone to drive the children. Reimbursements could go to a driver, such as a parent or neighbor, willing to take neighborhood children to schools,

Again Chicago Aldermen show their utter buffoonery. City coming apart at the seams and all these Einsteins can come up with is an Ordinance prohibiting 2 perverts from taking cellphone pics up some broads skirt. Never, Ever, ever a single thing that benefits the Middle-Class Chicagoland Taxpayers who pay for all this buffoonery and incompetence, never even once. If so, bame it. Name ONE thing they've accomplished that has saved the Middle Class Taxpayers one thin Dime. Just one.
Glad to see they have extra time on their hands.
It's about time, now I can sleep at night.
Thank you alderman.
The Chicago Police Bagpipers pushed for this
Someone must have video on the internet upskirting Ed Burke and his shitty thong.
The Chicago City Council should be outlawed and disbanned! What a useless government body!
Idiot Aldermen duplicating laws already on the books on the state level!
Throw all the bums out!
Da Pelon
The basic fact pattern sounds like our pension problem here in Chicago, where is are "don't wait around" solution?
This ranks up there with the General Assembly taking up the Equal Rights Amendment forty-two years after its ratification date expired.
Great job alderman Burke thank you! The clinic called please call them the guys are looking for you! Now Eddie you flash your Chicago police officer badge and wear it all the time now about that contract and our pension your so quiet!
This whole thing is a WASTE OF TIME. It's a CIVIL matter at best - copyright violation, misuse of images, etc...
And if the woman catches the fool with the camera, a good kick to the balls, and stomping on the camera fixes the problem better than wasting any time with court or tickets...
Leave give the silly council credit, where credit is due. The plastic bag ban passed unanimously passed. Now this. No aldermens is caught up in federal investigation or have jail sentences pending. Why that’s good news. The aldermen are getting paid full time wages for part time work, so they must be doing something right. Good for them. The city’s bills getting paid, so all is well. O.K., maybe not the legally bound contractual pension obligations. That kind of stuff is a different type of non compliance law or breach of contract legal mumbo jumbo.
As we celebrate our Memorial Day weekend and honor our Veterans, let us take time out to thank those who served our Nation in uniform. Lets us keep in our thoughts and prayers those who did not return in defense of our freedoms.
Know your government and those running it. Its sad that elected officials condemn our veterans. So lets not forgive and not forget since this guy is very active in national policy.
John Kerry served as a powerful democrat senator and served as the U.S. Secretary of State. He married a billionaire wife. He served in Vietnam. He almost won a presidential election. He is what this democrat had to say about the veterans of Vietnam and Iraq:
"You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq." --John Kerry
"American soldiers [are] going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the - of - the historical customs, religious customs." --John Kerry in 2005
"[American troops in Vietnam] personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, [blew] up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam in addition to...the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country. ... There are all kinds of atrocities and I would have to say that, yes, yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have committed...." --John Kerry in his 1971 testimony before Congress
OT.HA HA. Those "No Guns Allowed" signs really work. Check it out:
http://video.foxnews.com/v/3585076736001/robbers-ignore-sign-rob-gun-free-restaurant-at-gunpoint/#sp=show-clips
And Eddie who pray tell is going to write this tickets? Maybe your crew since your thought of this? Please sir turn in that CPD star you wear on your belt, have you even spoke out for us? How about it,you hold the purse strings speak out about the pension funding not this nonsense!
If we had 1/10 of what fast Eddie Burke took or scammed over the last 20 years all the city's pension problems would be gone over night! Is he and his law firm still representing Blue Cross and Blue Shield, he personally stopped the employees from having several different health insurance companies covering the city employees he said with just the one company the city can save millions in fees with NO competition from other companies.
I just love how everyone is twisting that safe passage crap. The state is NOT considering paying parents to just drive their own kids to school. The state is considering paying people from the neighborhood who volunteers to drive neighborhood kids to school. No different than a fucking school bus driver. Must we complain about every single thing?
Anywho, I'm sure some of these revrunds who Are capable of being on the news every night, every "chiraq" documentary etc, should have no problem rounding up some church busses and driving neighborhood kids to school.
Wasn't a kids head taken off in Cabrini Green by a sniper in the 90s while walking to school with his mother WITH police not to far away? I know, a bunch of contradictions in my post, but, fuck it.
Mayor Jane Byrne was more good than most know...they really gave her the boot as if they were the good guys..led by 'dirty' Richie Daley...his minions used to lie and tell not-real stories about her so the 'little' people would think she was either nuts or drunk...Yes, Mayor Byrne should be remembered in a good and imposing fashion. Thanks for reminding us. It should be soon before she is gone. Jane Byrne was a courageous democrat, more so than the likes of many others now in politics.
Pay the parent to drive the kid to school??? How about paying the parent when the kid takes a bathroom stop, too?? What are we coming to in this political culture of 'Appeasement'...If the parent is driving around getting paid to take his kids to school then the parent can't be an employee with a regular job. Down with this dummy, dumbocrat idea!!! Out with these fools.
Ald. Burke got all his people in. Cousin Joe Curtin kept making rank and even had the nerve to think he was gonna be the Supt. What a fucking stroke! Hon judge? ros higg-grant sittin on bench at 26 n Cal. Same lil girl who cried as SA in Br. 38-Misd Ct. And her drunk hubby jimmy gets a nice pension and nice job with CTA. WOW. Drunks dumb fucks move on. At least Curtin is dead.

Last weekend, on that new 'My Chicago' show, they focused on an arts program that does poetry slams and one girl REALLY slammed Emanuel in her recitation. These were people 'of color' voicing their opinion of the mayor and they're not impressed by more and more bike lanes.

Rahm is trying to squeeze every possible cent out of every niche he can. I can't wait to leave the shithole known as Chicago,Illinois.
I will be moving to Texas in three years and will not look back or comeback to visit.

Can a Red Light/Speed Camera violate that ordinance?
If the Alderman drives thru a red light without pants on, would he get $500 from the City less $100 for the red light?
Cornball laws that nobody abides and revenues that the city never sees.
Burke has proved his senility and dementia are in the latter stages.
Mass transit deals with this problem quite a bit. Especially on the Red Line during peak hours.
Hard at work 50 Aldercreatures What a waste
If we had 1/10 of what fast Eddie Burke took or scammed over the last 20 years all the city's pension problems
AND? You vote one party sux up for crumbs?
No you personally but many do in general
This is going on, not many caught because it's done conspicuously, the offenders aren't being obvious when committing the offense. Victims don't even know they are victims.
What percent of offenders get caught for any crime? Because they aren't caught does that mean there's no crime.
There was a man at an outdoor cafe with his camera by his feet pointing up, couldn't arrest him at the time, what was the offense
Female p.o working in 007 just got beat up really bad at 61st and Aberdeen. Extreme head and facial trauma un conscience at the time of transport to hospital. Prayers for her as I'm sure this won't make the news...

Better than that,
PAY THEM NOT TO BE A PARENT AT ALL!
We give all the perks to people to pump out kids as early as possible and as often as possible. We give them freed food, free rent, schools while they farm the kids off to granny who collects a government day care check because the baby machine can't cope wit' all dem chillens' she had and there ain't no baby daddies around. Thank-you Democrat's Great Society.
We out to pay all young people to not have babies, stay in school and out of jail. My kid did that but we didn't get paid, all we did was pay the taxes.
Worthless. More proof these Aldermen are incompetent and Lazy. Out fucking off all the time, too incompetent and disfunctional to do anything beneficial fir the Middle Class Taxpayers of Chicagoland, and busy rapeing and robbing the Taxpayers, then they cone up with utter Bullshit like this a couple times a year and try to make it appear that they're actually doing something to earn their salaries. Puff Up your chests and steut around, Aldermen, you've really earned your salaries and pensions again, you fuckin Parasitic Reprobates.

You are absolutely right!!! There are other city workers who may have a beef with her [remember the strike by CFD?] but she was the best Mayor and friend to the police that there ever was.
There was an incident in 017 District school where a student took a cell phone picture up a teacher's skirt. RD generated, expel, etc. It's a shame you need a law for this.
Honoring Jayne Burne would be great.
Sounds like we need an idea for our government to make money...
Just a thought...
Have the hunger games once a week in the top 10 crime ridden blocks across the city. One rule! Can't leave that block during the games. Any and all people living in that block must participate.
Winner becomes the block club president and has the right to take ownership of any properties they can lift over their head with both hands while standing in the ground on both feet.
The game goes on from 10pm est until a winner is selected. Cost of pay per view is $40, in HD it's $60.
Have the state of Illinois set up an online betting system. Out of state betters are welcome but must get a permit for $10.
Charge knife gun sport drink clothing lotion etc companies to promote their stuff.
We'll make money.

You don't understand!
By enacting this ordinance, with the heavy fines that are attached thereto, the city council is going to fund the pension finds fully!
