Don't Pose for Cameras
- A new open data project aims to make filing a complaint against Chicago Police — a fraught endeavor, since it’s often hard to name the cop in question — significantly easier.
According to data tracked by Mapping Police Violence, at least 54 people have been killed by police in Chicago since 2013, and the city has spent more than $640 million since 2004 settling police brutality cases. But properly identifying a Chicago Police officer for a formal complaint is a difficult process. False complaints can be met with a class 3 felony perjury charge. A successful complaint needs to be as detailed as possible, and lack of proper identification is an endemic problem in Chicago: One study found that more than a quarter of all complaints against CPD officers — 28 percent between March 2011 and March 2015 — were dropped for lack of officer identification, and only about 2 percent of complaints lead to disciplinary action.
So to be helpful, they've come up with a website, and they're trolling social media, award ceremonies, newspaper and television reports, even crime scenes and social media pages to get pictures of you to post so that a complainant can identify you. They've already got the names of every Department member thanks to the payroll databases the city released.
Of course, anyone can access this database and start stalking you at the grocery store, at your kid's ballgame, at church, at dinner, or anywhere, with a nice picture supplied by these ... whatever they are. And we don't have to remind everyone how easy it is to Google or Zaba someone.
Anyone else feeling all warm and fuzzy now?

what can i get with less than 20 more thn 10 yoj.....Im getting close to bailing. got side job, never as good has cpd pay...but then there is that punitive and civil rights violation thing if I stay....
If you search their site, they say that they have a trove of pictures they need to match up with the names. Want to know where they came from? 8000 + from twitter, 2,000 + from Flikr and about 250 from the public submissions. Once again a reminder to watch what you post on the internet.
We'll, isn't that special?!!!! Not the most user-friendly site (at least from a phone), but I found my name (no picture). If you click on the "That's The Officer" tab, it connects you to IPRA''s site so you can file a complaint. Isn't that just darling!??!? There probably isn't a thing the Dean and Co. can do about it either. There's a way to send the site an image. Maybe I can pay some stud Hollywood actor to take a picture with my uniform on, and I could submit it. Maybe Matthew Mc Conanaghey will do it...all right all right all right!!!!!
P.S. Go to the first page of commanders and look at Sean Loughran'a picture. He looks like a kid!
What a great idea, purple haired hipsters! You definitely get a participation trophy for this one. My favorite feature is uploading pictures to the site anonymously. I've already uploaded pics of cute kitties, chief wigwam, and a chocolate starfish. Try it. It's fun!
Oh, by the way, your site is garbage. Way to dump every department member on a single endless page. That's really going to help the people and folks find that big bad racist officer. That is, if they have the attention span to hit the down arrow on their browser for three months.
Stick with protesting with BLM as they demean you to the rear of the march because you're white. Hee haw!
So if and when the Rahmster appears at your roll call you now have a real reason/excuse to refuse to shake the weasel's paw unlike the 9th District tact team (suck asses)!
It is impossible to run and difficult to hide. Big Brother is always watching.
Continue to STAY FETAL ! ! ! this is what this job has come down to. Just back each other up and handle your jobs.
This is why I have no social media. I know so many P.o that advertise they are the police smh. Please take all those photos of you in uniform off like do you really need to let the whole word know where you go eat where your checking in get off social media go out and just interact with your family and friend in person and get off your phones.
I feel sorry for members of the department having to deal with these nutty left wing scumbags.
Close your facebook account now idiots.
I was born in a Central American shithole.., I recently returned there, and a good number of cops don't even show their face when at work, they are doing that whole facemask deal when working because they fear become a victim of something after work
I can tell you first hand if someone wants to find you it's as simple as this post described it. A couple of years ago a list was posted online of a bunch of CPD members that included my name and all my family close and distant member's names, my home address and all my real estate closing info, web sites (like Amazon) that I had an account with that I didn't know required settings to private or public, were all listed. All because the FOIA allowed protected employees names and salaries to be released. By Il. state law I can register my vehicles, and drivers license residence to a police facility address but the city can't block our name and salaries from public access. I can understand listing that info on a city employee that isn't in a profession that is at high risk for retaliation but LE officers that arrest and shut down whole gang operations, drug dealers, cartel members, organized crime organizations? We're so foolish to take and or stay in this profession for so many reasons. We're not respected by the politicians, the dept. supervisors, the majority of the public and especially by the media. Just punching bags in this day and age.
Now if only somebody did the same thing with gangbangers social media posts. Even better would be showing the "wrong" gang affiliation.
When you go to "find an officer" it is already populated with male white. Wtf...lol. Freudian slip.
Sean L. is a kid.
Costco has some real nice balaclavas, easy on easy off.
Let's find out the personal information of the people responsible for the website and post it. Address, phone #, work schedule, cars they drive. See how they like it.
Man, all these projects to jam the police. When are they starting the projects to identify the offenders of 85 % of the crime in Chicago? You know who they are the "Blacks"?
""So if and when the Rahmster appears at your roll call you now have a real reason/excuse to refuse to shake the weasel's paw unlike the 9th District tact team (suck asses)!""
They must do yoga to be able to shake hands while catching it in the doopas too.
WTG 009 Tac. Keep them contact forms coming. Believe me Chicago is already like a 3rd world shit hole. I mean whats missing? No middle class, no decent jobs, crime up the wazoo, corrupt Politicians, Cops afraid to do their jobs. This shit hole is like Brazil north.
They gotta have an app for that!

I can never understand why officers feel they have to advertise they are the police to everyone. Especially on social media. I remember a few weeks ago dozens of officers were posting on their Facebook account "first day of school" with pictures of themselves, their kids and what school their kids attend. I was fucking shocked. You are a police officer and this fucking stupid. And dumbfucks if you ask me well how do you know this if you do not have a Facebook account? Simple dummies, my partner does have a Facebook account and he is the one who showed me.

Don't believe what the media says about the midget visiting roll calls. It's like when he came to 011 one morning. He ran into the WC office to shake the hand of the merit Lt (which one? pick one every one of them are merit). Then ran to the commanders office to shake the multiple merit's hand and then ran out. Less than 2 minutes there.
I had a traffic stop a week ago and the driver took out his cell phone, recorded me as I was giving him his ticket. I am sure there is a way to take a still picture from that video that he recorded. In all honesty we are fucked. In my district most officers are not doing anything. Only the young officers are generating activity.
I just submitted a picture of a cock! Under the name "fuck yourself"
I agree with 10/22/2016 05:33-What was once an honorable profession has been cheapened by politicians, ad hoc social justice groups, the professor class including government teachers and other dirt bags who contribute NOTHING good to our society. The police no longer solve problems or restore order. They are abused by most organized groups who are supposed to or claim to improve society and look at this country. We are in a civil war of words with each other, the begining of one in crime infested urban neighorhoods where shots routinely fired and people are killed. Are we headed to civil war? I used to laugh at people who said tht in the 60's but here we are again and the police who represent the first line of defense are on the line again.
There are no statesmen in this country. There is no quality of leadership. Look at this city, Detroit, Baltimore, Washington D.C. top to bottom; corrupt and incompetent.
Tried the Lucy parsons website. It didn't work for shit.
I clicked around on the website and found this:. (they do the same with Facebook)

I've created a script to obtain photos and details via the Flickr API and used it to mine 2 CPD Flickr groups so far. It retrieves the highest resolution image for each entry as well as the title, description and similar metadata available through the API. The run time for retrieving an entire group photos/details (approx 2000-5000) is generally a couple of hours due to rate limits. Next I'll be looking at analyzing the title/descriptions to see if it's possible to obtain names or probable names in at least some cases automatically. The output files have been added to github under cpd_pictures. More groups will be added as needed.
Find a head shot of one of the cast of a TV show/movie in CPD uniform and upload it as EVERY officer that fits the same sex/race.
I would like to see the FOP do a FOIA on this group to name all of the members and people involved with the projects development.
Oh wait, I forgot, Deano and his cronies do what's best for the mayor first, we are somewhere way down on the list below replacing the furnace filter.
Dean Angelo bears a striking resemblance to me. Bean.
It is still amazing that people, not only cops put all of their personal information, including photos on social media.
The only social media I use is Facebook and I don't use my real name or photo. So they can suck my nuts.
SHUT DOWN YOUR FACEBOOK.....and QUIT TEXTING CRAP.
Get an encrypted pay-as-you-go cell phone for work......with no GPS capability. Hell, the criminals all have them!
Change your phone numbers, put all in spouse name. Talk to a lawyer regarding your property and how to protect it legally from lawsuits.
Don't talk to any outside investigative personnel other than what is required.They are NOT your friends. Have a lawyers number in your pocket.....and use it!
Cameras and cell phones are everywhere, taking photos and videos. Be aware. Big Brither is truly watching!
Know your rights and USE them if you get caught up in any serious confrontational situation. Don't run off at the mouth.
Sad sad sad that this once great profession has turned into this clown show. The inmates are running the asylum!
Above all, stay safe my brothers and sisters......take care of each other, go home safe to your families.
everybody needs to see that the electronic media has massive information about you.
your cell phone, your credit card,your discount card at the store, your I pass,
your onstar in your car, someone takes a photo of you it is stored some ware.
think a bout all is known a bout all of us and stored some ware.
now thank about how we can start to close the book use cash don't give your name for the preaches keep your I pass in a metal box till you need to use it. same with your cell phone but you will not get phone calls as it will not be able to contact the cell site. have the onstar in your car disconnected you need to be carful not to damage it so it can not put back in service. this will cost if it is damaged. dos any one care?. not an police officer. just worker bee. pleas work safe for all us worker bees we need you to keep us safe. thank you.
Social media is not your friend.I personally find it to be a stupid endeavor.
I've posted this before, if anyone can get our payroll info because it's a city check, why can't we go to a database and find out how much people get, housing, welfare, babysitting their own children. Everyone needs to know where their money is being spent.
I've never joined any social media of any type, but then again I still carry a revolver...
Wear your baseball cap,It makes it harder for them, What color hair was he bald.
What. A. Bunch. Of. F--king. Bullshit!
I went to the first linked website, that 'Mapping Police Violence' swamp. And though I had a pretty good hunch of what I'd find, I clicked the 2014 link for, 'Unarmed Black People Killed by Police'. And as expected, like the sun rising each day, there it was; Michael Brown, Jr., 18 Also as expected was this complete fantasy of a description as to what led to his early demise;
----- 'Even after a grand jury hearing, details are unclear. Brown had either battered a police officer, or was innocently walking down the street with a friend. Witnesses say he was unarmed, with his hands in the air, and the officer shot him more than eight times. .... -----
Got that, details are still unclear -- yeah, like to a fucking Grapefruit. And these assholes are still pushing that totally discredited 'Hands Up' crap. Discredited BY the actual goddamn witnesses! But it gets even worse than what these jagoffs wrote about 'The Gentle Giant'. They have numerous People, or Folk, shown who died as a result of getting hit by a Car! Some were running from the police, some were just crossing the road and got hit. How The Hell is THAT 'Police Violence'!!! That's f--kin' ludicrous.
To boot, these pinheads have people shown who died in a 'Get Away Car' after it crashed. How that's 'Police Violence' is friggen bewildering.
Bottom line that website is a goddamn joke. Everything they have is not only NOT Credible, it's a laughingstock. Anyone who would take anything they see on that website seriously, is not only stupid but is so mentally ill they should be in an asylum.
'Police Violence' my ass!
(Sorry for the Rant SCC but this anti-police shit makes me apoplectic.)
How many lib points do these social justice warriors get for creating this site? Will their marxist professors pat them on their little heads? Do they get store credit to their favorite occult bookstore? Do they get a free ear lobe stretch session at the tattoo parlor? How about special recognition in their pagan circle jerks? Seriously, I want to know.

Stay off social media.
Nothing good will come out of it.
All these govmint supported community organizers were formed by someone who has or is on the inside track at the o-IPRA-h. The sharps just figured out there's money in Social Justice Reforming and DOJ has baskets of deplorable cash to dole out to make their point seem valid at any cost. Essentially they've compiling a lineup book for a lackluster IPRA/COPA and subcontracted a sham community organization. I guess IPRA's posting of flyers on light poles didn't have the result those folks had hoped for.
On the other hand, could be the Dept found a way to get us to start wearing that damn hat...way down low, maybe a scarf on those cold crime scene nights, groucho glasses and maybe a bozo nose too.
Could this be the next SpikeLee movie - "Garfield Boulevard" :

Would be nice to post the info they post on police officers
In my opinion any officer who has received a complaint that originated with the parsons OpenOversight project MUST challenge the identification process.
Ordinarily, a complainant must view a photo array of similar photos, sign and date the identification of the officers picture, and it must be witnessed and secured as evidence.
The parsons project regarding the initial identification taints the entire process.
This is disgusting. As a civilian, I am embarrassed that LEOs are having to go through this. I wouldn't blame you one bit if you walked off the job and told the community to go police itself if it doesn't like how you're doing the job.
They'd be on their knees begging you to come back inside of a week.
Word out of the Ogden District is that a C.A.P.S. officer visited the roll calls to take pictures of the watches so he could post on Twitter with a pen pal in New York. It seems when he wasn’t driving around a candidate named Chewey in an election, he was busy posting photographs of officers all over social media websites citing this is an important function of a veteran CAPS officer. On duty photographers belong in the forensic division doing evidentiary related tasks. Now if he could utilize a pair of handcuffs and discover policey-things like make a cameo appearance a criminal courtroom with some self generated duty-related central booking numbers. Is that asking too much from the CAPS officers?

Not all shook the weasels hand. Two did not and also gave him the feedback he was asking for.
Shortly thereafter they were dumped out of 009 and sent to HQ.
It would be terrible if somebody spammed the photo submission form with incorrect, irrelevant, or offensive images.
It would be especially terrible if whoever did it used a VPN or other method of preventing the website from logging their IP address.
duhhhh, why can't the CPD at least keep up with the hood'ratz ? 54 since 2013 is nuffin', the HRz beating you guys bad, real bad !!! & u the one's assaulted 100s of times per day by the vicki's
We have to act and use any legal means to bring down this website.
Also, what would stop someone from making a false allegation against someone on the website already?
Perhaps we should contact the Russians to deal with it.
what can i get with less than 20 more thn 10 yoj.....Im getting close to bailing. got side job, never as good has cpd pay...but then there is that punitive and civil rights violation thing if I stay....
How many years do you have on? I know someone who had enough and resigned. He had around 16 years on. He called the pension board and they told him when he turned 50 he'd receive around $700 a month if he wanted to wait until he turned 50. He decided to take the amount he'd put into the pension fund and the city sent him a check. The amount was for the money he'd put into the pension fund during his 16 years (around $95,000) minus 30% that the city takes(steals) and I think he has to pay taxes on it too. I have about 18 years on and I'm ready to go too, just looking for some other way to pay my bills.
Do a Wikipedia on lucy parsons. Lovely woman,known anarchist and communist.
"...when the Rahmster appears at your roll call you now have a real reason/excuse to refuse to shake the weasel's paw unlike the 9th District tact team..."

I can agree, The feds look at it like everyone else does, I know of a guy working at midway took pictures on airfield with people in full uniform in violation of so many rules he is retiring quickly knowing they are looking into him karma is a bitch! Not going to dime him out but dam stupid is as stupid does guess the pointing at things that are non-existent really come into play!
I prefer The Alan Parsons Project
Take down your Facebook and Twitt pages and keep your kids of them.
When you sign up for anything and they as for employment put down "service writer". Register all vehicles, phones, bill subscriptions to a post office box.
It's almost to the point where we have to become like the French Foreign Legion. You enlist and you leave you past behind and assume a new identity.
LÉGION ÉTRANGÈRE >> LEGIO PATRIA NOSTRA *
The way this department and this country is going if I was a few years younger I think I'd shuck it all and join the Foreign Legion.
*Foreign Legion >> The Legion is our Fatherland
I have always loved seeing FB photos of cops with their families standing on their front porch with the numerical home address in plain view. Or just any photo of cops in or out of uniform - plain stupid! Or announcing they are out of state on vacation - hello burglars! Or showing off the new boat or new car or new motorcycle - excellent proof of assets to seize when you are sued!
Today's youth...tsk tsk tsk.
All merits should be posted, with special focus on lietenants..
Many times the weakest link to a web page is the hosting company.
If it is one of the large outfits they like money and don't like controversy.
Find out who host this page.
Put their contact info out.
Tell people this page puts police lives at risk and ask them to contact the hosting company.
In this political climate it is a long shot but you might cause the hosting company enough grief that they fire these people as clients.
The page will pop up again.
Repeat as needed.
Tell them to stop putting their hands up and screaming don't shoot..... Maybe they won't get shot.

That's Chicago. Other places don't pay out so quick or so easy...
"Under Florida law, any lawsuit payout of more than $200,000 by a local government agency must first be approved by the Legislature."

This bunch is even looking for pictures of deceased officers. Saw at least one I knew, still posted up there with the blank gray box and ???
How about a site with pictures of gang members? Start with that Strategic Subject list and go on from there...
Be sure your camera or phone has the GPS data location turned off if you post to social media or make sure your social media site strips what is called the EXIF data from a picture. the EXIF picture data can be read by a plug-in in just about any browser, and will give the exact longitude and latitude the picture was taken, as well as date, time, type of camera etc, etc. Plug long. and lat. into Google, and you will see your house, kids school, kids park, wherever, as long as that data is in the picture
