Felony Theft? Not Anymore!
The "new direction" the States Attorneys office is moving. This is an actual e-mail from the Cook County State's Attorney:
- Hello Everyone,
The Cook County State's Attorney's Office has a new policy concerning retail thefts.
Felony Review will not be approving felony charges unless the property in question is valued over $1000.
However, if felony charges are based upon the offender's prior criminal history, then charges will not be approved unless the offender has ten or more prior felony convictions. [emphasis added - SCC]
Felony review assistants will be looking at the defendants on a case by case basis with this in mind. There will still be scenarios where felony charges are appropriate even though the $1000. value or the 10 felony conviction threshold is not met. Those cases can still be evaluated for the upgrade.
Officers and Detectives should communicate with Felony Review or Donna Norton and myself, on specific cases that require exceptions to this general rule.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact Donna or me.
Mike
Mike Deno
Supervisor of District 5
Cook County State's Attorney Office
10220 S. 76th Avenue
Bridgeview, Illinois 60445
A-fucking-mazing...a States Attorney who won't prosecute a pretty straightforward State Law lest they fill Tommy Dart's jail with actual criminals. What's the felony threshold? $300? And now you can steal Three Times
Ten felony convictions. With ten felonies, you'd have been put away three-times-over in a "Three Strikes" state. Here, you just get to go steal again and again and again. As long as you don't target high end merchandise, you can furnish a couple of apartments.
Any bets on how soon this comes to Chicago? Not that they aren't already doing it under the radar, but when will they put out a notice? Loss Prevention just became a joke and everyone pays more for democrats catering to the criminal element. The gypsies just declared a national holiday.

Made my job even easier!
Start filing complaints against these ASA including Kimmy with the ARDC...... Start holding them accountable, I know they have prosecutorial discretion but on some of these retail thefts NO WHERE in the statute does is specify 10 priors.....so again the likes of Kimmy and Prick Winckle and Dip Shit Dart screws over the businessman and the consumer
So the Cook County States Attorney can now circumvent state law? Technically any officer can charge a felony. The state can reduce charges if they wish.
What's next CTTL? Must have 10 convictions for CTTL to be charged with a burglary? I can see that happening, now that Retail Theft is blazing a path for more POS to remain on the street.
What the blog needs to know is in the hood managers and security guards demand arrest for minor shoplifting. They give POs no discretion and will contact supervisors because they are fed up. Any chain store ie Aldi, Savers, $general, etc..... are on their last leg in the hood.
Then, per the current law prior conviction means upgrade. There are too many $10 thefts bombarding the ASA for upgrades. Honestly it's homeless or borderline homeless offenders. DSS makes you attempt to upgrade because of law. It's a shit show.
Hey drugs aren't the problem though right???
The dumbocRATS need the shitheads votes. A felony conviction takes away votes.
Tell me why I need to bring my family to visit Chicago?
What are the amazing world leading attractions that we need to see?
Memphis is just about as far, has great music, and the BBQ is better too.
MORE THAN TEN FELONIES?
How can anyone under the age of sixty run up ten felonies and be on the streets?
I think SCC and I both might have found why Chicago has a crime problem,
"However, if felony charges are based upon the offender's prior criminal history, then charges will not be approved unless the offender has ten or more prior felony convictions."
Why is anyone with more than three convictions on the streets? Even goofy California locks them up!
The exception of the rule will be if the offender is white. Social justice is here boys and girls. Buckle up, it is going to be a really bumpy ride.
This should be front page news in the Tribune.
The stoopid, it hurts!
F'd up but at the same time, Keep in mind the retailers and loss prevention rarely if ever show up to court.
So what good are laws? Wait we're in crook County. Disregard.
If that wasn't so seriously fd up, I'd almost laugh. I am retired, soon to move out of Cook County altogether . I think I'll sleep better. By the way, excellent reading today sirs. Real good blogging. Thanks .
Unbelievable.
Just wait until Toni's girl Kim arrives.
The SAO has become the felon's best friend! Unbelievable! Ten Felony convictions or $1,000 value? Where do they get the authority to ignore state law? I would still call and request felony charges on every single theft charge. Let them use up all their time and valuable resources battling us. The actual law is on our side. What are we supposed to tell our victim's? I would give them Kim Foxx's phone number so she can explain how she has made Cook County into Mecca for thieves.
Did I just read that Apple picking season was announced?
This is great. There won't be a store left in the ghetto 3 years from now.
Shortly after that burglaries will skyrocket.
Following that, missing persons cases will skyrocket (as homeowners blow these thieves away, and then dump the body instead of reporting it).
Hmmmm.. so lenient. Why even bother?
Shoplifters WILL BE SHOT!
Now that clears the courts from having to do ANY "extra work" AND is a much more effective preventative than a slap on the wrist.
WAY out-of-line? Too violent. Too much "use of deadly force"? Punishment doesn't fit the crime?
Well, neither does the "new" prosecution guidelines.
Don't worry, stores will start moving out.
AND, not to Rosemont or Schaumburg or anywhere else that Cook County's retail tax structure or shoplifting laws have any jurisdiction.
Buy in Chicago? No, it's Bye-Bye Chicago.
So all the criminals that come down to Michigan Ave won't be prosecuted. We'll see wait till the Michigan Ave assn gets wind of this. And just how does the states Atty suggest to address the problem of retail thefts going off the charts? Surely they have a solution for their inactions
Long past time for some Chicago Mayor to have the balls to Incorporate Chicago as a county and kick Cook to Markham!
I suspect the theft rate in the collar counties will drop like a rock. Why risk a felony charge and penitentiary time when one can steal to their hearts content in their own backyard. Work related travel expenses will be next to nothing for these sticky fingered thieves. If I'm not mistaken the felony threshold is 150.00 for subsequent retail theft arrests. 300.00 is only for the initial offense. Baltimore, we will make you proud.
Troll: I guess we can see the direction law and order is traveling in Cook County. Forget about it already. Ten priors should have you in state prison where you can only steal stale bread. Thanks Kim for showing my desire to leave this workers paradise when I retire in two years is the right choice.
Guess when I retire I found my new job.
It sounds like retailers will need to return to the "Service Merchandise" model from back in the 60's. You find what you want in an in-store catalog, pay for it and then stand in line until they bring it out from the warehouse in back. You can still steal something but the victim will be the fellow customer, not the retailer.
Who cares anymore?
Let them take whatever the hell they want.
Go to the call, take the offender into custody, make a report.
It'll all be documented.
When all the stores in "the community" close and then those on the boundaries of "the community" close, then the stores in the suburban malls close. Someone will eventually take notice. You know, when those taxes from those stores start drying up.
well, this is basicaly saying that theft is now legal in chicago. Sure, It's technically Crook County, but lets be real, businesses outside the 1st municipal district aren't going to stand for this.
We already know how the stores loss prevention reps usually don't show up for the PC hearings, so the charges are usually dropped.
We know stores often cut the offenders loose after a certain amount of time waiting for the police to respond (which is much more often lately, due to manpower).
We know that, unless the crime is captured on video, the states attorneys are going to drop misdemeanor charges (at best they will offer 3 months supervision with a plea). Felony charges aren't an option without video.
We know that misdemeanor retail thefts rarely result in jail time, even after waisting court time with a trial and conviction.
As a former professional thief (used to work for a company that developed and tested retail security options and efficiency), I can tell you that a "good" retail establishment, at best, captures 15% of thefts (and almost never catches theft from employees).
With all of that in mind, how long will it take for a person to gather up 10 CONVICTIONS, to get to the felony threshold, where there is a greater likelyhood of doing any jail time? A life time, and that's for a person who steals every time they go to a store.
So theft is now punishable by maybe 2 hours processing time, and maybe 3 hours sitting in a cell, waiting on an I-Bond. A 5 hour penalty for a $1000 score? why not? At this point, anyone who actually pays for something is going to be deemed an idiot.
Just don't rip off the dope man. That guy has a family to feed.
Woo Hee
Just in time for Christmas. I am going "shopping" downtown today
This should be national news. Unfortunately the ARDC won't take a complaint about this.
What the blog needs to know is in the hood managers and security guards demand arrest for minor shoplifting. They give POs no discretion and will contact supervisors because they are fed Up.
You always have discretion, even if the complainant "demands" arrest.
Grow a sack
Who are they helping with this, black people cant even get a gyro without being served thru bulletproof glass, food deserts, how many merchandisers will leave. Stores will make people show money before entering. Again the middle class black and white get screwed. Pretty soon everything will be bought online.
The retailers in Dupage are all doing a jig. Why would you leave Cook County to steal. Think of all of the shit moving back.
The Michigan Avenue Retailers Association will be making a phone call to the State's Attorneys office.
Let's hope Kass and/or Dan Profft pick this up and run with it!
It has been in place for awhile.
All victim should be instructed to obtain a summons at the local court house.
keep in mind a used item that is stolen ie laptop,Ipad,Iphone,Jordan Gym shoes flat screen TV and bikes will be considered used and will not be recorded at purchase value as a loss.
NO video no case.
It will only matter when it becomes a family member and you see how wrong this is.
Recommend carry conceal to all.
Nullification......that's all this is........nullification of black crime........it's okay to smoke/carry/sell weed.......it's okay to loiter on the corners in large groups, harassing neighbors, store owners, etc....it's okay to cheat and get SSI for your kids......its okay to drink on the street.....it's okay to steal from the stores....over and over again.....and at a higher amount!
And yes, within two years, all stores will be gone from the Un-gentrified neighborhoods, but alas......crime will just travel to a neighborhood near YOU.......
Unbelievable........can't wait to see what she nullifies next.......
Cook county, that turd in the toilet going down the drain fast.
Major retailers should send lawyers to all these misdemeanor courts and demand upgrades. I believe it is called a writ of mandamus, which orders a public official to do their job.
Expect to see an uptick in charges against Loss Prevention for daring to try to stop the flood.
So in order to solve a problem you just deny that there is a problem. Keep voting for the democrats.♠️
Unbelievable.
Just wait until Toni's girl Kim arrives.
12/14/2016 03:13:00 AM
She was already sworn in.
10 strikes and your not out!!! What a joke. Why wouldn't every theft ring in the country come here, set up shop for a year and retire?
"What the blog needs to know is in the hood managers and security guards demand arrest for minor shoplifting. They give POs no discretion and will contact supervisors because they are fed up....."
I have never asked ANY manager to GIVE me discretion. Did you ever have that mother carrying her infant while stealing baby items? You locked her up because the manager demanded it?
WTF....Who the PHUQ comes up with these ideas...We are SOOOOOOO DOOMED in this shithole of a city......
Wow just wow. First retailers get shafted and have to call 311 and wait an hour on hold to file a report because if the perp is gone they won't send officers. Now, they get a get out of jail 10 times card! F'that! I'm taking these mf'ers and breaking fingers and hands in my backroom. Enough is enough.
do these guys really get to change the law? arrogant pricks
hey I don't want to arrest homicide and robbery offenders - just my preference
where's the media to stick a microphone in Mike Deno's face?
"Broken Window Theory" - arrest for the small stuff to beat the big stuff
"It's not broken until I say it's broken theory" - give everyone a pass - jail population goes down - crime? what crime?
Someone let Moosejaw know they'll need to put barbed wire around the store.
http://abc7chicago.com/news/lincoln-park-store-robbed-4-times-in-1-month-struck-again/1495525/
Great! Christmas is coming up. I can steal 9 gifts that are under a grand each before I get in trouble. Merry Christmas, thanks Foxxwinkle! Jesus Christ this chick won two elections.
That's great.
Not great for the stores but who cares right
When you call for an upgrade, keep count of the times RACE is a factor in the refusal.
Three things, Kim Foxx is already the states attorney (as of December 1st), this applies to ALL of cook county not just 5th Dist and retail theft threshold under state law is 300 or if the offender is under 300 dollars and has 1 felony conviction it meets the criteria.
I'm a Detective in Markham District 6, we got the same letter too.
Love love love love 10 Convictions....am guessing they know exactly how many fit that description -less than 10? And 3 are in the joint doing hard time....2 are living out of state racking up arrests and 2 are terminally il
Yes, too many black and brown people in jail. So, to solve that the prosecutors office now refuses to honor legislative intent and declares many laws to be " non-laws". Maybe next they will not enforce aggravated battery unless at least three bullets hit the victim.
Amazing. Like the U.S. Constitutional is to the nation, state laws are just a minor hindrance to some. Swearing an oath means nothing to someone with no honor.
Words do have meaning! Ask Hillary.
J.J.
They should have punch cards ten punches = a month or two in county. Don't have to waste all the paperwork time or court time. Kind alike a frequent stealer program
See, every law enforcement officer in Cook County should be allowed 10 police involved shootings before ASAs are called too. Considering all the stress elements, marksmanship, complicated shooting policy, citizen's non compliance of lawful police verbal orders . Actually, make that 15 shooting incidents.
I'll bet crime goes down 50%. LOL
Nice I retired in may was gonna work a little side job not now now I'm gonna be a shoplifter thanks
How about no felonies at all? why bother?mayhem and anarchy, with kimmy there,and toni letting the "black n brown" thugs out early and tommy "wrecking ball" tearing down the jail complex everyone arm up wild chicago is back and they could film the program live as long as they don't get shot and killed like over 700 have been murdered and over 4,300 shot so far this bloody year!
The only convictions I ever saw for retail theft in the suburbs (6th Dist) were when the defendant was held on a warrant. Only then would the ASA offer the offender a plea for time served. What a joke! I wonder if judges will issue warrants when the offenders fail to appear?
So. Now Kim Foxx like so many great political philosophers Cook County judges think there job is to "Make new laws" to ease the "Struggle".
I remember when we did not have felony review. Felony review started with the election of Bernard Carey to States Attorney in I think around 76 or 77. Felony review was Carey's idea and he sold it to Old man Daley on the platform that it will unclog the courts no make everything more efficient in the government by giving everyone less work. Remember the "Machine" provided all of the patronage employees.
Before Felony Review all you did was call the dicks out they would prepare the complaints, 101s and reducers(misdemeanor) complaints. In the old Br 44 felony court the ASA would have a preliminary hearing if there was probable cause it went to a felony court room. No probable cause the arrest was reduced to a misdemeanor and sent to a lower court.
Life was good!
One of the many outrageous parts about this is that Kim Foxx made Mike Deno put his name on the memo instead of having the memo come from her. Everyone knows that Mike Deno is a very good prosecutor. This was NOT his idea. This was a direct order from new State's Attorney Kim Foxx (and therefore Preckwinkle) and new First Assistant Eric Sussman. Put your own name on it Kimmie and let the world see what kind of new pro-criminal wild west is coming to this now doomed city and county.

Have you checked out Memphis crime stats lately? Don't think they are any better than Chicago. Maybe you prefer the nice black velvet "artwork" at Graceland over the masterworks at the Art Institute.
Mag Mile now up for grabs (even more so than before). Sounds like it's time for concealed carry. The lunatics have won.
--No Cop Here
Any chance of sending that memo to the news media? I'm sure the public would like to know
That they can go steal pretty much anything and nothing will happen to them in court.
Who cares what state law says.
What does this mean?
If I go into Macys on State Street and steal a $200 sweater and there are witnesses and store video, what kind of punishment will I face, if any?
This is already the new policy in Chicago too because Deno is a supervisor at Bridgeview which is part of Cook County. This is coming from the new regime under Foxx not Deno.
Some of you are not aware but Kim Foxx assumed the States Attorney position 2 weeks ago. This is her new policy.
This needs to be submitted to all relevant news outlets and broadcast for all to see and digest. If felony charges won't be approved for 10 or more prior felony CONVICTIONS (not arrests), how will the theives ever qualify for a felony upgrade? Unreal. Rahm and preckwinkle hit the businesses high with taxes and then kim foxxxx hits them low with a flood of thieves. Only in Chicago. Now go knock out some ISRs!
Would hate to own a business in Cook County.-for many reasons. Do the take down the signs in stores now ? those that say shoplifters will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law...
Whats new. I once had a ASA tell me she was not going to charge a Auto Theft offender with a Felony because he had never been arrested for a Felony before.
I just retired and found a way to supplement my income.
I look at this one this way. I get a call from retailer about a theft, take the asshole into the district and call felony review. Don't do a rejection over the phone, make the ASA come out to your location. Drag the investigation into the rush hour so it takes them a couple of hours to get to you. I'm off the street , making an arrest, and causing ASA to work their asses off for a bullshit retail theft.
So the best part is I work at 311. Store after store now calls up to report thefts. They don't even try to stop the thefts.
So, they want 10 priors but won't approve anything so the history never gets built up to 10. Way to circumvent and keep the criminals on the streets.
They have been ridiculous in the 5th for quite a while now for Retails. Even if you have over $300, if the store has no video, they'll never approve it. Regardless of the value. Had one the other night where the Offender had 20+ convictions in theft. Because the store had him with $100 in merch, FA wouldn't approve it. It's great how Cook County just makes up the rules as they go...
Don't worry SCC now Eddie Burke agrees to hiring coppers with criminal histories as a way to promote diversity:
http://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/three-powerful-aldermen-push-for-relaxed-police-hiring-standards/
So this says minority's are criminals and nine have good law abiding virtues? Can you imagine the future of this disaster CPD is running towards with hiring criminals what could go wrong? Then again another alderthief got arrested today willie Cochran another in the long line of political criminals arrested, takes 1 to know 1! Hopefully Trump sends the doj in to finish draining our swamp! 5th floor city hall elevator operator keep door open we will be loading them up and shipping them out!
Tis they wonder why this city is going to MIERDA!
Fuck that. Just charge them with a felony anyway. The law is on our side. The ASAs are in no capacity to overrule state law
Who made Mike Deno God ? What arrogance! What about the rule of law?
They have been making up their own rules regarding non compliant registered sex offenders. If you did the same crime in a different county, you would be back in prison. Cook county Asa will not prosecute anything that has to do with non compliant registered sex offenders, no matter how blatant the offense is...one prosecutor said they simply don't like these cases on their docket. The loser in these cases are the public, especially kids who are the targets to these predators.
Kim Foxx is the most incompetent individual to ever occupy the post of Cook County State's Attorney. That is saying an awful lot considering Richie Daley once held the same position.
This retsil theft policy is an office wide policy coming straight from Kim Foxx to be effective immediately. The fun has just begun. Another new policy for the new State's Attorneys office is absolutely no jail time for traffic cases. This includes a recent traffic case where someone was killed. The line ASA asked for the maximum penalty which was a year in jail. After the defendant was sentenced to that year in jail, the line ASA was called into a meeting with the new first assistant Eric Sussman. Sussman told her we are no longer asking for jail time on any traffic cases. The public should be made aware of these new policies being created by Kim Foxx
The 10 strikes you're out rule.
Classify retail theft as looting. All shop/ store owners are immediately justified to shoot all looters...
Another reason for residence lift; this absolute lawlessness approved by the county politicians demands that city employees be complacent with directed violation of state law. Mayor, let my people go.
It's insane. 300 is the dollar threshold and state law says 1 conviction is good enough for an upgrade. So now you get ten misdemeanor conditions before you can qualify for a felony.... In the land that law forgot, cook county.
Whenever the CPD needs to manipulate the numbers, the PrickWrinkleFox States Atty Office pulls through.
All that chasing thru Walgreens parking lots, over fences, thru the alleys and screaming on the radio might end also.
Now how's that for a Pt.1 CB and an I-Bond.
Then here's a thought:
Is a Det Div revamp and desk shuffle in the works?
Could RBT become extinct or chopped by 80% ?
Could HGS see a 100% manpower infusion ?
Will the perennial and ineffective HennyPenny become the New Det Div leader?
Last chance to get his Merits in before the he walks the plank.
Only a lame duck Special Ed knows.
Glad most criminals are dumb, as they could easily put a crew together of 10 people, everyone shops each day for less than $1,000 of merchandise per trip. $10,000 - $20,000 a day. Not sure how you sell all that shit but I am sure they can easily get some % on the dollar. Save some for fines, bail $, and just don't get caught 10 times. hohohohohoho. merry christmas. how hard is this plan.
If you don't want to do your job why should I?
I can hear it now... Officer this offender only has one previous homicide under his belt. To fully prosecute him, he needs one more. We'll get him next time, I promise.
On the bright side, there will be plenty of batteries, hand lotion and razors at the flea market if this happens.
4th District received the same email. From the wording of it,it sounds like its county wide....What...A...Joke...
"The cook county states attorneys office has created its own law again"
Wouldn't want to fill up the jail with hardworking criminals trying to provide their families with Christmas presents....orrrrrrr prevent them from stealing items they could sell on the west side for heroin money.
You used to be able to shoot fleeing burglars. Let that sink in a minute.
When I came in it was anything over 150.00 for felony.

Hey man...
You haven't lived The Police life until you're sitting at the light
on Christmas morning after pulling a FULL midnight tour and some
free-range bust-out stumbles up to your car with a pretty wrapped
package he liberated from under a relative's tree...
"Got dat Chrimus present fo'ya!
Fi'dollahs!"
He was well beyond giving a fuck as to what was actually in
the package. He was looking for a $5 lick for some
holiday cheer...
>Wanting to snatch him by his scruff and run his ass
alongside the car back to the station<
(Something like those Savoy Slant-Six Coppers did
with those unruly asses back in the day of
squads having hoop door handles)
An Elder Subject Matter Expert Emeritus once said:
"Carefully choose the battles you want to have
with these m/fers out here."
Rolled the red light and took our tired ass on home.
Things were pretty fucked-up then but
it's a flaming shit-show now.
This policy is county wide! Heard it from an ASA today.
After Kim's crass stupidity results in the obvious unintended consequences, Rahm and Toni will arrive on the scene and decry the crass capitalistic businessmen and corporations for allowing large swathes of the South and West Sides to become retail and food deserts without stores...
10 CONVICTIONS? Holy crap. At 10 ARRESTS you should be thrown in a wood chipper.
That loud thud you just heard was every retailer packing up and leaving Cook County. Are they trying to sink this city? No rational, sane person could think this was a good idea.
now post all the names associated with the sgt watts case and you will see some of the same names and cover-ups. the code of silence starts and ends with the exempts n clouted.
Is it safe to say that with less than ten felonies one can join the CPD?
Wouldn't recommend memphis. Milwaukee either. Or Detroit. Or, heck, any large city ran by democrats--steer clear of those and you'll be safe.
This is just the beginning, drug cases are next.

Yes.
The season began on Black Friday.
The States Attorneys office just raised the allowed Apple picking limit to 6.
Worry when they will not charge someone for murder unless he has at least three priors.
I look at this one this way. I get a call from retailer about a theft, take the asshole into the district and call felony review. Don't do a rejection over the phone, make the ASA come out to your location. Drag the investigation into the rush hour so it takes them a couple of hours to get to you.

Does this include battery to a judge or state's attorney. Only after 10 convictions for battering a state's attorney will you get jail time?
Just wait until Kimmieee does this with UUWs. I-bonds for first, second, and third offenses. She seriously needs to be disbarred. She should follow the letter of the law just as we have to as POs. I seriously hope the DOJ under Trump looks into the practices of Chicago/Cook County politics.
If I was Nieman's, Macy's or any other BIG TIME retailer, I would be closing up shop. Mag Mile? Empty Stores.
You'd see how fast they would change that law.
As for coming downtown to shop? Not anymore.
My hard-earned money will be spent elsewhere this Christmas and for many more Christmases to come.
As for the shoplifters taking merchandise out, I would simply meet them on their way out if I was a retailer and ask, "Do You believe in Jesus?"
Business owner here, I like to read this blog occasionally to get a idea of what may be going on behind the scenes, stuff the media won't report. I will tell you, as a business where in this city/county/state, I've been left no choice but to take my small business (11 total employees) and move North. I've been taxed and regulated to the point I cannot fiscally survive. When and if Chicago ever wakes up and gets rid of these thieves and crooks destroying this city, maybe we can make a return. Thanks for some great memories.

I too would like to see some investigations around here. The problem that I see, is that since we live in a BLUE state, I doubt that they really give a shit about what goes on here. The only hope is that Trump gets pissed at the poor excuse of a mayor for defying laws about immigration, etc... I noticed that Trump had a meeting with rahm's brother who is/was Trump's agent. The mayor has been consulted about the transition process and was at a meeting with former White House chiefs of staff. He probably thinks he can do no wrong with his new clout!
