More Handcuffs on Police
- When the police pulled over the white Buick Regal he was riding in, Roderick Franklin told them he “was just getting a ride to have Easter breakfast.” The officers didn’t dispute that. They arrested him anyway.
The cops — members of a “saturation” team working to suppress violence in West Humboldt Park — said they pulled over the car in April 2014 because its taillights weren’t working. But when the police checked the names of everyone in the car, they learned that Franklin, a 45-year-old who struggled with a heroin habit, was on parole for drug possession. And they said one of the other passengers was a “self-admitted” member of the Four Corner Hustlers street gang.
To the officers, that meant Franklin had committed a crime just by sitting in the car: “unlawful contact” with a gang member while on parole. In Illinois, that’s an offense punishable by up to a year behind bars, even if no other crimes or gang activity occurred.
Kim Foxxx is already refusing to file this charge, and IDOC almost never issues a warrant for parolees caught violating the terms of parole - which is something you never see in the media. Ever.
So this is on the political radar, and 'lo and behold, a Soft-on-Crime democrat has already taken up the cause for those poor parolees who are just trying to turn their lives around by associating with other felons/gang bangers:
So this is on the political radar, and 'lo and behold, a Soft-on-Crime democrat has already taken up the cause for those poor parolees who are just trying to turn their lives around by associating with other felons/gang bangers:
- “It’s like a trap,” says state Rep. Kelly Cassidy, a North Side Democrat who has proposed changes to the law.
Cassidy says the law restricts the movements of people trying to find work and turn their lives around after leaving prison. She says she’s heard of people concerned even about accepting a ride to work with a member of their own family for fear that could result in their arrest.
Cassidy also says the law does little to hinder gangs. “It doesn’t make us any safer because it doesn’t take anyone off the street who was doing a crime,” she says.
Evidently, Bleeding-Heart Cassidy doesn't realize that upwards of 80% of crime is committed by repeat offenders, and something like 90% of homicide victims are previous offenders and/or known gang bangers.
But hey, take away a useful tool for taking criminals off the street - you see how well the ACLU "fixed" the Contact Card situation.

Maybe she should give him a job at her office....maybe at her home, doing yard work.
Another example of screwball libtard believing they know better for no other reason than they believe they know better and everyone else is misguided and ignorant and are in need of libtard guidance.
Black Lives Murdered, I'm beginning to see the logic...
The watchdogs of the Suntimes are part of the machine. They are the voice for the politicians.
Kim Foxx is now responsible for her people's ethnic cleansing. 90% of the people killed or maimed are in the African American communities. Great job Kim!
That law was pointless without teeth.
Never any punishment, so why bother.
The only thing it was good for was getting Gang Enforcement and Saturation teams their CB #'s.
If you guys haven't gotten the memo, they don't want us locking people up anymore.
F. E. T. A. L.
Sooooooooooooooooo.....................isn't Cassidy a lawmaker. Maybe she should change the law. But that would mean she would have to take a stand and maybe lose a vote. I really hate this state.
Foxx is a complete dud.
I can't believe the Sheeple voted her in.
But, eeeeeeeveryone's on parole and eeeeeeveryone's a self-admitted gang member. So, what's a brother (or sister) to do? How about packing up and moving to Memphis for a fresh start. You won't be bothered there.
Isn't minorities, criminals, illegal aliens and other libtards all that libtards represent anymore?
President Trump wants to enforce laws so the liberal asswipes want to do away with laws. Yeah, that sounds like a good idea, NOT!
J.J.
Fuck arresting anyone unless on signed complaints. A tss card, isr or parker will do. Give the liberal media and residents what they desire. Watch them beg for the police and give yourself a stomach cramp from laughter.
Ok, that's fine. Don't make us the bad guy when Easter dinner turns into a shooting scene where dude ends up kilt.
There's something in the drinking water at city hall....
Why won't you political hacks just stay away from policing?
Ya know it's almost like they have a plan labeled ...WAYS TO KILL PEOPLE WITHOUT EVEN TRYING
Kelly should move her office from 5500 n Broadway to Englewood, make more of a difference!
OT -- Gonna be a job opening at the Elmwood Park Walgreens. Wasn't there, but sounds like a case of bad judgment.

If you read the law itself, it is impossible to prosecute anyone. It is a law which was poorly written.
Guess what, head chief of ADULT PROBATION DEPT chief Haywood and his Assistant Chief MAT Solbeski ordered ALL weapons units officers not to make ANY ARREST or conduct searches on convicted felons homes.
Just don't accept that ride to "work" when, in fact, your family member is indeed your "play brother" and subsequently remain in parole compliance.
Besides that little hiccup, how was Easter Breakfast?
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Never let them make economic arguments, their actions should make it obvious that local pols do not care about jobs other than their own and their close supporters and friends.
It's the law
Rarely enforced. Abolish this useless law.
what about the tail lights on the car, did the ever get fixed?

nice catch. It appears she is a lawmaker. She she can't sway the legislature to change or make laws, but she can decide whether to enforce it? Rich. These arrogant pricks. If Foxx decided she didn't want to prosecute murder then there's nothing we can do about it? Prosecutorial discretion gone awry.
The Democrat Progressive Doctrine. (1) Keep all offenders out of jail and on the street (2) Do not find them guilty of Felony gun crimes plea them out for probation
(3) Do not find them guilty of Murder,Attempt murder or Aggravated Battery plea it down to misdemeanors or manslaughter. Support Morning After Pills and Abortion anytime. Crime will go down.
has anyone notice the "violence" going unchecked by the news media?
Cassidy used to work for SAO when they still prosecuted people. She was an idiot then. Worse now.
Remember the whole goal is to cut the costs of the criminal justice system and incarceration NOT to ensure public safety. Looks like its going to get worse.
It is a stupid charge. How can an officer prove the arrestee had knowledge and intent that a person he associated with is a documented gang member? WE are the ones in charge of the list containing documented gang members, a list the general public does not have access to. So therefore, unless the public is given access to our lists of documented gang members, the police are unable to show "knowledge and intent" at the time of the offense.
I agree with the Politicians here, this law is horseshit and only designed to benefit the cops and not the public. "Guilty by association"? What about riding a bus with convicted felons, that might as well be the jeans police "get me a head for the day" scenario. There's discretion you know.
Good job KIM for actually getting one right this time. I'm always pro SCC but this is one of those articles that makes the blood boil. Let people live their lives you robots. 1st and 16th should be the only two days to look forward to. Stay safe.
Why did they bounce ex superintendent Matt Rodriguez?
...and the Mayor's latest soft on crime move " Chicago approves new plan to hide illegal immigrants from the feds, plus give them access to city services"
@ Fox News and Friends
On another note...011 should be getting their cameras within the next month or so. Just in time for summer. Sit back and enjoy the show. This is all making our job easier, they don't want us to be the police anymore, so let's be firemen. Hang out at the station, handle our calls and go back to the station.
Kim Foxx is doing more to bring about the death of countless African Americans that any single gang member could ever hope to accomplish. Like the rest of the liberals, Kim Foxx and Toni Preckwinkle see the world as they wish it was rather than the world as it is. Most liberals spend more of their time trying to "out-liberal" each other.
It's like a trap. Yes it is. Trapped between politics and public safety. And the law abiding citizens are trapped and subjected to the politics too.or you leave if you can.
This is what happens when you vote for "soft on crime" democrats. In reality, they endanger us all by not doing their jobs of imposing bad consequences for bad behavior. There has to come an end to this sort of nonsense.
This is the ACLUs way of getting rid of black people, soon they will start buying up the ghettos at bargain prices. They are truly evil, hey it makes more sense than what s going on now.
Cassidy also says the law does little to hinder gangs. “It doesn’t make us any safer because it doesn’t take anyone off the street who was doing a crime,” she says.
No, that is Bec Kim Foxxxxx won't prosecute
As long as they don't take away the cb# for suspended or revoked!

>>>>> State Rep. Justin Slaughter, D-Chicago: “I think the term ‘gang’ or ‘street gang’ still just triggers a negative, punitive line of thinking.” <<<<<
Nah. Get outta here. Really Rep. Slaughter? How *unfair*.
'Cause when I hear 'gang' or 'street gang', I think of Bake Sales, selling Raffle Tickets to raise money for some sick kid, $.25 cent Pony Rides in the park, Church Socials on Sunday afternoons, and other organized 'team' efforts. Kinda like the Boy or Girl Scouts.
(dripping sarcasm /OFF)
And yet democrats wonder why people laugh at them and call them names.
Residency was put in place because you used to get a City job thru your Aldermen/Precinct Captain in return you and you're family Voted for them that is the Main Reason its in place.
Well, when you think about it, almost all the guys in " The Hood" are ganabangers, so "what's a guy gonna do"? Gets job? Please
North side Kelly Cassidy's.. never set foot in the ghetto or actually talked to folks in the ghetto who actually want the police to be the police. If any of these politicians actually went to the ghetto to talk to normal people they would realize most of them want the police to be aggressive.. but they don't, they talk to the scumbags and the families of scumbags
If they change the law on these gang bangers, then we also need the change; especially since we have all these new types coming on the the job with criminal records and probably gang ties. If I am caught hanging around with criminal types, isn't that a violation of Department Rules? Gee, so my point is simple, it they change the law then I for example can hang with the Latin Kings or whoever else.
Channel 7 news Sunday morning 8am reporting on overnight shootings "most were gang related". A sense that they have some idea or are not afraid to report some truth of what is going on.
Also reported was the gathering of anti RAhM groups led by CTU-teachers union and Chuey Garcia with a large RED BANNER "REVOLUTION" which says one thing to me and any one else with an ounce of sense. Revolutionary communist party. Watch out what we wish for. We may not stand behind RAhM but if he loses to the RED REV WING our lives as Police will mirror San Francisco, Berkley, Oakland, Baltimore, New York City, Seattle where the leadership revels in hate of the Police.
We must pick our battles with care not to bite off our nose to spite our face.
Kelly Cassidy and heather Steans are only interested in pandering to criminals just like Patricia van pelt. They all want to give weed to tge welfare and weed generation that votes for the democrats. This city and state is finished.
Cabrini Kim was elected by the loser white liberals too.
Who do you think "the community" is going to vote for????? A hard charging white states attorney who is tough on "community" criminals? Not a chance.
If 1% of that is true the officers are idiots. Just like a judge's order, the only agency that determines if a parolee has violated his parole condition is the IDOC. Confirmation is needed first via the 1-800 number. Ask desk personnel, parolee are arrested and sent to court daily and when the notification is made to the IDOC, they return with the statement "We will not be violating at this time..fax us a copy of the arrest report if there are local charges." Parolee's parole conditions belong to the IDOC not CPD. We only enforcement them after receiving a confirmatory response from IDOC. The officers should have recorded his information, released him, notified IDOC and let THEM decide if they were going to issue a warrant, call him in for a drop or notified his parole officer. You can't arrest him first and then determine if he has violated his parole. You might want to know the cnditions of his parole first. You guys cry about house mouse desk officers receiving Merit promotions, when some of you need to become familiar with court, conditions of bonds and desk procedures. Hopefully they don't sue your behind. No remorse, but you thought you were doing real police work.
The ASA refuses to prosecute non-compliant registered Sex offenders , too. Fact. If some slip through, the bleeding heart judges don't send them back to prison. Fact.
What's a CB # worth?
Plenty if you're asking Loe'vey & Loe'vey.
Stay fetal and stop nobody.
No contact, No problems.
Well, if you follow that progressive logic, then police officers should be allowed to fraternize with convicted felons. After all, these convicted felons are just trying to turn their life around and associating with police officers would show them a good example. If this is OK then please bring back Matt Rodriguez.
Rudy Giuliani for cook county state's attorneys seised for shetiff
You say the department "is losing another tool"?
I almost wish that were the case. The department has plenty of tools and many are wearing white shirts that they received via merit promotions. The department should be lucky to lose some of them.
Vote Republican this will stop this shit
Tell Rep. Kelly Cassidy to talk to lawmakers about changing the laws and how about Rep Cassidy find employment for these parolees.
what mayor , congressman ,cook county politicians supported sly fox
change the laws ,
As I ponder this idiocy, I think about our leadership. In particular Barb West, who was well known for bringing a pillow to work and driving the other way when an officer called for help. She never had any intention of being the police, and never was. Just look at her numbers. And yet, even though she never passed a single promotional exam she is a chief. If people in this country are wondering why there is so much Carnage in this city, a big part of it is how they choose the leaders in this department. Choosing by clout and race has brought us to where we are now. What possible strategies could West come up with to combat the violence? She is the worst that the department had and they promoted her.
Worthless State''s Attorney. Another example of liberals getting what they want until they get beat up, robbed, burglarized, and raped.Then, unfortunately for them and other like minded idiots, it's too late.
These people are morons and then they wonder why this shit continues????? And then they try to figure out the violence and what is causing it, it's shit like this MORONS!!!!'
These Dems are idiots. The more they cover their electorates behind, the more they die. So actually they are losing votes. Haaaaaaaa
It's happening everywhere

Can I FOIA the # of arrests our top brass have made during their careers ?
The laws must gone softer in 15 years. I recall going to 35th street to obtain my rap sheet. As my name was called to pick it up, about 10 cops swarmed me. Seems like the County fucked up my probation and did not properly clear it out the computer system. I tried to tell this to the cops, they would not have it. Spent the night in lockup. Morning my ass is in county and the judge did not even let me talk. No bond A week later back in front of the original judge, she curses at me, saying I promised not to come back. Still no bond Now back then, you could only call collect. It was a pain in the ass but I had to come up with 5,000 for a fucking lawyer just to walk across the hall, have some lazy motherfucker look me up and see that yes I did complete probation successfully. Three weeks later I was cut loose, without so much of a word from the judge. No apology, nothing. I read where guys with gun charges now get I Bonds, WTF, is this Bizarro World now?
New jersey passed a law stating that police cannot be proactive. CANNOT.
Sanctuary City I have been saying it for years
now it's nothing new only difference now I don't give even a blink of an eye at crime and disorder.....
retirement approaches next year.... I'm literally just keeping my blinders on!
Foxx will drive hard working people away from this city. Your'e states attorney not a public defender. Who wants to live in a crime infested city?
People are being slaughtered in the streets of Chicago and the mayor says NOTHING. And of course the cowards in the media refuse to call him out on it. Thanks to Lewis & Chuy for being out there and trying to hold rahm responsible.
I don't know why, but this story made me think about
Tom Dart giving prisoners access to microwaves.
Could it be that bleeding-heart Tommy is complicit with
the cons heating up shit in a hollowed-out cup cake to
create a stink wave to cover-up the pot smoking?

The pace of copulations
Which then lead to procreations
Followed by indoctrinations
Emphasizing inclinations
Of a nature most perturbing
Breeding wantonness disturbing
Spreading out from whence it spawned
Sowing mayhem dusk to dawn
Those who seek to end this madness
Who grow weary with the sadness
First must face the ugly truth
Those seeds are sown in their youth
Dem apples rotten as they be
Always fall quite near the tree

Well, snowflake. When you got dude hanging out at a dope spot with other convicted felons and people are shot (associating felons or people they tend to victimize), then you could have saved lives by taking some shooter or target off the street temporarily. I'm with you though, let the streets run wild, I'm loving it. Also, nice attempt to trivialize the arrest by setting up a scenario that never happened. That's a good idea; I'll stop busses for a CTA Check, run all the names and arrest all felons. That shit has never happened and you know it. Maybe you're just mad you can't hang out with convicted rapists, murderers and dope boys. POS
It;s like a trap, eh? OK!
End PAROLE and remove the trap once and for all.

Wow, this societal problem solving thing isn't all that difficult after all!

I believe she will be our next Sup. I have had my suspicion for the last couple years. They're grooming her for it now. Right gender and background to replace Eddie. They're also buddies and he goes to her for much advice such as when he stripped the tac coppers from 010 for the " head kick". She's close to Rham and pushed his numbers strategy during Gary's reign. She's Rhams last ditch ace card to get re elected and back in the good graces of the community to forget about withholding the video.
Based on the crime/murder/shooting statistics for some neighborhoods, just who is left for a parolee to talk to??
Barb West displays no leadership ability/skills. Look at her appearance, she needs to comb her hair. It's embarrassing. She makes too much money for that. She always looks like she just rolled out of the bed. Looks like she comes prepared to sleep.

Your insult demonstrates not only your ignorance to law, but also as an overall lack of intelligence.
My prediction is fox will be booted for selective enforcement of the law. It's the laws of the State you took an oath to enforce while you enforce the law of the jungle.
Imagine being a business owner whether on Michigan Ave or in the hood. The highest law enforcement official in the county just created open season on retail businesses. The democrats, in their quest to mold the law around those who refuse to obey the law of the land are turning this once great city into a haven for lawlessness. Just imagine what life downtown would be like if their was zero tolerance when it comes to crime and a states attorney that would charge these crimes and a sheriff that would house the criminals, what a novel idea to bolster the economic activity. You see what crime has done to the bad part of town, created a place where all retail is almost non-existent because of the violence and theft these savages exact on businesses.
