Ethics Schmethics

Time for that old tired saw - Ethics Testing, the test that every city employee supposedly has to pass, but every city politician seems to have no concept of the rules contained within.

In case you were wondering:
  1. yes, no, yes, yes
  2. yes, no, yes, yes, yes
  3. no, yes, no
  4. yes, yes, no, yes
Thank god we're retired.

Don't forget lawyers must take annual ethics training in the continuing legal education courses they have to attend. How many ethical lawyers do you know of?

That thing infuriates me. It's one of the biggest jokes going.
Different rules for different classes of people. The politicians routinely flaunt, ignore and trample all over these very same ethics yet we get disciplined if we don't take the course.

Why isn't there a check box for I don't want anything. Anybody I know would never want any type of business deal with the city. (late or no payments)

Ethics are something you talk about but never practice if you are a politician or work for the government.

The funny part is the silly ethics test has nothing to do with law enforcement. Not one question pertains to police work. The whole test is for big shot city hall guys that have access to gov. Contracts and deals. Dumb!

"yes, no, yes, yes
yes, no, yes, yes, yes
no, yes, no
yes, yes, no, yes"


This is the same method I used when conducting the LEADS exam back when I was still working. Everyone WILL pass this exam!

But the mayor can take millions of dollars from a company then issue the company a NO-bid contract.

I missed that question.

Did Daley ever take the ethics test? Didn't he start working for the law firm who managed the parking meter debacle after he retired?

Should be a class-Action Lawsuit filed, for every Officer forced to submit to this. No allegations or Evidence of any wrongdoing yet forced to submit these. Just like the Piss-Test, both Unconstitutional. No unusual behavior documented, no reprimands or suspensions, no der election of Duty, no excessive Absenteeism or documented behavior, yet dedicated officers are forced to piss into a bottle to keep their job. Fuckin Communist Totalitarianism. All because of Political Correctness, this Blatent Discrimination is allowed and forced upon Officers by CPD and other Agencies, while Politicians again walk away Scot-Free

Ethics? The pimp won. He'll be passing out overtime to the street whores who take it and cop clowns will whine.Therefore, when President Hillary is elected, "What difference will it make"?

Is it ethical to fine someone, then if they dont pay it in a month you double the fee?

I knew a "GUY" who ran a bizness like this but they called him a loan-shark.

How about selling weed to people with health problems?

Slippery slope I can't wait for the day when we will have a WEED TASTES of CHICAGO and officers will be detailed to make sure everyone has a lovely smoking experience.
It will be next to the STAR WARS museum...

That was okay, because he was clearly working for them before he ever left City Hall.

Ethics test was always a joke on this job. There was always a Misc-X card with the answers either taped to a computer or alongside. Ethics, they cannot define the word.

Only Chicago Policemen have any compelling rules to abide by...

Whether under pain of discipline up to and including separation, imprisonment, loss of pension and civil action resulting from these.

Not to mention the shame, destroyed reputation etc...

Chicago's political and media creatures have no such cares and concerns.

Right?
