Bad Idea Moves Forward
- Chief Cook County Judge Timothy Evans on Friday announced he is replacing the half-dozen judges who preside over bond hearings at the Leighton Criminal Courthouse–a sweeping change and the latest move to reform the cash bond system that critics say leaves poor and minority defendants locked up on low-level charges.
The move by Evans comes two months after he issued an order, which takes effect Monday, that bond court judges are required to set bail in amounts defendants can afford to pay.
“As we continue our efforts to enhance the pretrial process in Cook County, this new division will play an important role in upholding the court’s focus on justice and fairness,” Evans said in a statement emailed to reporters Friday.
What about the fairness to crime victims?
Bond is supposed to be an inconvenience - you show up at each and every court date OR you lose the money, securities, property used to secure your appearance. It isn't what you can afford - it's what the Court feels is necessary (via pain of forfeiture) to force compliance.
Any "reporters" asking how many people are currently on Electronic Monitoring that Dart can't find? Here's a hint - well over 500 and closing on 1,000.
Any "reporters" asking how many people are currently let to bond for what used to be known as "forcible felonies"? The number is "many thousands."
And are there any "reporters" asking how many warrants are currently in the Cook County system for persons who decided to sleep in and miss court? We'll give you another hint - begin at 10,000 serviceable warrants and start guessing north of that number.
But hey, let's just start asking criminals, who are as honest as any Cook County politician, how much they can "afford" and let's see how high those numbers can go.....along with the crime rate.

The US Justice Department needs to oversee the Cook County Court system, not the police departments. This is criminal, disturbing but typical. I have never seen a judge take a defendant's bond if he put one up after a bf. The money that was put up that should have been forfeited is usually given to the bar attorney to defend the mope.
I really don't know how much further the pendulum can swing without a correction. The only thing for sure is that the longer it takes, the more violent the change.
Close to 10,000 city of "Chicago" warrants. County has over 4 times as many. Call them up and ask them, they'll tell you the same thing.
No inmate should be sitting in CCDOC on a $5,000 bond for criminal trespass or disorderly conduct. Those individuals should of got an I-Bond from the station. Cook County Jail is for real X felony type individuals. The rest should be let out.
They just want the exit of people from Illinois to pick up speed with the Cook County residence.
Going, going and gone.
Not a cop but speaking from experience. This happened too late for me. I did some dirt, got a fucked up bond, owned a home and was not allowed to put it up for my bond. Did time in county, did my probation, paid a huge fine because I could not afford a paid attorney. No excuses, personal choices. Fine. Did my probation. Years later I show up at 35th and King to get my rap sheet. Get arrested for probation violation. Must be a mistake I said. Get to county, do not even get a chance to speak. The probation officer works across the hall, no one called him. Was given no bond. Period. Sat in County another two weeks on this bullshit. So clearly there is a problem and it needs to be addressed on a case by case basis. The judges pull down 180k per year. Surely the can determine who is violent and who deserves EM.
"You don't go to jail" and "you don't go to jail" "Nobody goes to jail"
Not to mention, many offenders will be able to dispose of the criminal proceeds and tools used to commit said crimes much easier because they will be bonded out. Also, many victims will be re-victimized now, because the criminal will be out of lock-up much sooner. This is a bad idea and the politicos should be ashamed of themselves.
Every time I hear of more 'alleged' law breakers being released back into the environs, for some reason, I picture Elmer Fudd, with his trusty side by side slung over his shoulder, trampsing thru the woods, singing..... Ah hunting we will go.....ah hunting we will go........
Evans is a stooge again. Toni got him hooked on her bull shit. Watch the I bonds for murder. No bail is a thing of the past. Van Dyke gets a 2 million bond cause of the p.c crap. Hope Evans and Toni get to meet a home invader $100.00 cash bond thug.
I tend to believe that the genes of these people have turned to glue. Now there is not a bit of common sense from these elected rats and the people that they find to be an endangered species.
Just when you think the democratic machine couldn't come up with anything else to kill this county, they come up with this.
My God - I hate democrats, especially for what they have done to a once great city.
Can I put up my crack pipe? How bout my rocks? My link card? Okay, I gots a dollar.
Another reason she needed the soda tax? No more bond money.
Any reporters readily available to tea bag the twerp murder mayor?
"Uh,My Honor, I got 37 cents and an old CTA bus token. Kin I go now? I got an appointment on the Mag Mile in an hour."
Evans has ALWAYS been a Political PIMP for that ASSHOLE Madigan !!!
What a sorry piece of shit this JUDGE has ALWAYS been !!!!
This city/county is a sinking ship and police officers will be the last ones allowed into life boats.
I know this has been said before here but I feel the need to repeat it.....GET OUT! For those of you who read this blog and have taken or are thinking of taking the test to get on, DON'T. If you are on the job, seriously consider a change in career. For those who retired. MOVE OUT!
Isn't there a standard for bond. A sliding s so if you will. So now it's " a bond they can afford." What if a rich guy is arrested, is it automatically higher because he can "afford more."
Someone needs to watch start tracking these criminals and see how often they become repeat offenders. Start print names dates etc. While you're at it foia the electronic monitoring program. How many are on it? How many are on it but have not shown up for court?
There are no more "reporters", only employees of media companies that utilize "content aggregation".
Timmy wants the criminals to run free surely he has met with the cabal of the Toni and tommy Pizza kitchen show to consult with them about letting the black and brown criminals run free to further terrorize people causing more carnage and more mayhem. Then we have the mayors own dictatorship style of going after Chicago police officers using the copa crew increasing their budget dramatically to remove any working police officers that actually do that heavy lifting. If you hate your spouse hate your children hate your home hate your job hate your freedom he being a working police you will lose it I'll see you at your fundraiser! God bless the police.
Would $ 5.00 be as hardship to post for bond?
in conjunction with the requirement for 10 previous convictions for shoplifting felony upgrade, one now needs 10 BFW's before a cash bond is set
-that is all
Someone is trying to murder these people, it's the only thing that makes sense.
12:31am.....Hey genius, those arrested for CTTP or disorderly (the 2 people that have probably been locked up for it) already do receive ibonds at the station. Only way youre going to county on those charges is if you're a banger, have felony charges or a warrant as well, or if youre already out on bond and now since youve gotten arrested again....are in violation of said bond and now must go to bond court. No matter which, your ass SHOULD have to go before a judge and have to post cash
Tim Evans can go fuck himself. Seriously, what is this guy thinking???
I always thought bail had two purposes: to guarantee appearance at trial and protect the community from a probable threat. Evans is nuts.
So why set any Bond amount?
If they say they have no money? We believe them
If they say they have not done the crime? We believe them.
So why have any preliminary court? Or Judges.
Judges just kick it down the calendar?
I just do not understand difference?
Violent or non violent they are arrested for breaking a law.
This is not suppose to be easy on the offender?
But it sure looks like we are being soft on them?
They moved Judge Peggy Chiampas too. She had to go because she gave appropriate bonds. Her bonds were based upon the law not politics.
FOP needs to put it's newsletter online since they never send mine to the proper address. What a useless group of people. They can not even mail the news letter to the correct address and then they fail to post it on line until 3 months passed the actual month.
The most simple thing can not be accomplished by the UNION.
Why does the administrative judge have to replace the bond court judges just because h's changing the rules? Or is he replacing the judges with an ATM? Let the perps withdraw whatever they think they can afford, hand it over and they walk. Certainly don't need a sentient person on the bench for that.
That's it...We officially LOST....
This idea is so ass backwards.
Once again coddling and pandering to "the community".
Do they get sent home with a goody bag also?

9/18/2017 12:31:00 AM
How many of those...criminal trespass...are actually attempted burglary, opportunistic home invasion, potentially with rape, assault, etc., and how many of those....disorderly.....are interrupted assaults, thefts, strong arms, etc....?????
We KNOW the answer to the above question.
Either you do not or you are complicit......
It is apparent that this judge didn't take one minute to consider the victims of crime.
Until liberal democrats start becoming victims of the criminals and illegal aliens they protect so well, nothing will change.
Stop voting democrat and start supporting our duly elected President of the United States, Donald Trump!

Oh for fucks sake.......have you never been to crook county......sheesh.....
Higher taxes on the working man. Got to pay the criminals lawyers and wrongful arrest cases.
The only good criminal is a dead one.....
"Chicago" is beginning to show up in dictionaries as an example of the definition of "dystopia" - an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one..
What about the fairness to crime victims?
Yeah, so what about them? No one cares about them. They're not like the "real victims" in cook county.
Hope w about rename my streets after famous Chicago criminals. We need to celebrate our criminals. Tourists would love it. I visited chicago and god mugged and carjacked on Capone st. Right downtown.

Problem is, they probably should have been charged with a higher crime but they keep reducing charges.
This definitely confirms that blm! They must not be killing each other fast enough in the south and west neighborhoods, and select suburbs. This should definitely get those body counts up. Isn't that what we are trying to do? Punish the victim's over these poor misfortunate offenders.
BY FAR ONE OF THE MOST INSANE IDEAS EVER
And there should be a class action lawsuit filed against the responsible parties for endangering the safety of the law -abiding citizens affected . They are knowing releasing dangerous criminals back on to the streets to terrorize the general public

They ARE out.
That's just like the "non-violent drug offenders" that prisons are loaded with.
Same old BS from the the progressive left.
Liberalism is a deadly disease.
Anybody who votes for any democRATS is a complete moron. They have destroyed this city ,county and state with all their bull shit. God bless our police.
This is going to be disastrous for our neighborhoods. If you don't arm yourself every time you leave your home, then you're a fool.
I am all for it. This will give us job security. The people who voted these people in office are the ones that are going to see the crime in their neighborhood go up. I believe there are only two or three neighborhoods in the city that truly see the problems that the democrats have created.
results are more black victims by repeat offenders
that is why middle class blacks move out of chicago
One can only hope that the judge or his family will be the victim of turning loose the violent felon.... Unbelievable what this city has become, Detroit here we come!
Liberalism is a mental disorder..what do you expect when you keep voting for them..you put them in the position!
catch and release
a few years ago a sex offender out on the ankle bracelet raped a young black girl , put her in trunk and left her for dead , a good citizen heard her screams and she lived
she lived and I pray she campaigns against every democrat that puts the criminal before people like her
All of what SCC is valid and correct. But there's another underlining problem, on violent crimes where the victim(s) identified the offender(s), being let out could be a problem for the victim(s). I would add victims safety to the list of problems SCC pointed out.
I say no bond for anything. You break the law you get locked up. I'm not one bit concerned with over crowding. Let them sleep where ever they fall. No tv, no library, no gym, no recess. Shower once a month & eat whatever is put in front of you. One and done. There are plenty of us out here who have managed to get through life by obeying the rules and what does that get you? The bill for all the goofs that believe rules do not apply to them and politicians & churches who support these thugs.
With what's going on right now out there I can't stand to look at the news anymore. It's truly bizzaro world, and its only going to get worse. I don't see the pendulum swinging back anytime in the next decade or two. Everyone should be in self preservation mode right now. If not be more careful out there boys and girls.
Most of these bust outs don't vote. That's why we have to. Get out the vote my friends and make changes.
This will only " enhance" someone I-bonded will go out and commit more crimes.question? How many times has someone been arrested with an i bond receipt in their pocket? The same day or next? 🤔... bet these pols will be pushing worthless drug treatment programs instead of jail?being soft on crime has only created more crime here. They have emboldened the gangs and criminals here. They have traded votes/power for public safety.
this adversely impacts the low-income black community is's a form of social policy that continues to tear at the social fabric of low-income black community here in cook county social policy advanced by this bureaucratic former politician Timothy Evans and Company.....
Chief Cook County Judge Timothy Evans--This jagoff wanted to be mayor in the 80s.
Apparently the "victimhood" of the criminals trumps the victimhood of the crime victims.
If you have a crappy enough upbringing, and if your ancestors were enslaved a century or so ago, then you can do no wrong. Your mommy hug and homemade cookie deficit will never be filled, and therefore you escape all judgement for anything you may ever do.
If you have nice things and live in a nice house and one of these poor unfortunates does something to distress you, consider it atonement for your many sins and let the poor fellow go.
Sound accurate?
What happens when you can't afford your tax bill?
Your water bill?
Your city sticker?
Penalties. So the chumbalones pay up on time to avoid the penalty.
The working chump pays for the lazy, unkempt, unemployed criminal deadbeat freeloader.
If there's going to be an across the board no bond policy, then why arrest?
Hard chargers coming in with a I-bond pisser or a UUW to appease a merit boss is the only reason, and COPA is about to alter that biscuit.
Do nothing for the City or County.
SCC, you hit the nail on the head asking if there were any "reporters". The obvious answer is NO. The posers who work for the tv and radio stations along with those who work at the couple of birdcage liners in this city/county couldn't find their asses with both hands on a sunny day, much less a story. The talents of John Drummond, and Mike Royo are long gone. Two of the best in questioning the local government as to their shenanigans and rarely, if ever, backing down. I think we all know the reason is the democrats, and their liberal agenda which has taken a strong foothold in academia, especially in the journalist programs of almost every college and university in this country. These so called reporters would rather drag a microscopic percentage of society, (the police), through the mud on trumped up complaints, or blatant disregard of the legality of an officers' actions. It's much easier to make up a story in those situations than it is to actually go looking and digging for the truth to put these politicians on th spot. Thank god I was able to retire and get out of this politically criminal cesspool.
The Cook County Court should give JVD his bond money back.
If you are an inmate at Cook County and can't get a family member or friend to bond you out for $500, you deserve to stay there.
So basically worst case penalties in Crook county are a few hundo and you done? with that risk/reward ratio property crimes, etc. will CONTINUE to SKYROCKET, just like our taxes. Same people same result. F these politicians.

more inbreeds just what we need
You take a few steps back and look at this fucked up system of everybody getting a Get out of jail card and then you see the likes of Dart going to work on burnishing his image as a great reformer. How these people have the balls to put themselves in front of the electorate and presume entitlement to a higher, more prestigious position is beyond me. I've repeated this over and over for the past few years but once more won't hurt . I hope every voter in Cook County remembers these arrogant, incompetent, leftist reformers the next time you see their name on a ballot. They each deserve to be voted out of office, not given a better one. End of rant-Thank you.
On the bright side, at least 50% of the bondees will end up victims of shootings. They can't help themselves.
Pandering to "the community"!!

You need to spend a day in the court. I have been through this bullshit before. You are not even allowed to speak to a judge period. Not everyone in County is a gun handling felon or child sex rapist. There are many people who deserve Ibond, not everyone but many.

were they charged late fees

Dont lock anyone up. No problem. Get paid more for less.
At bond court there is no reason for you to "speak" to a judge. Your appointed or hired lawyer should answer the judges quesionts. Thats it.
This is the Democratic Machine providing the Death Sentence for the Black Community in Chicago and they are too ignorant or distracted by nonsense like the Rosemont Frozen Girl to realize it. Sad very very sad.

I thought bonding rules were set by the Illinois Supreme Court?
Been retired a bit, so that may have changed.
What you need is some important family member of the Democratic Party to come home and find all of their shit gone. Or get held up for an I-phone by an ankle monitor shithead.
Of course as fucked up as the Dems are, they would explain away the assault to economic disparity, and offer the shitheads more as their son/daughter gets stitched up in the ER.

Go online and read past and present FOP newsletters and you will find out.Time to retire pal
Illinois needs to return to the bail bondsman system. We need " Dog the bounty hunter"
A few years ago the Cook County Sheriff, Dart, put up a web site so the average citizen can search peoples names for active warrants. You can still find that web site if you look hard enough. Dart pegged the number of outstanding warrants at 45,000. If you call the Sheriff's warrant desk they will tell you that they no longer tell citizens about any outstanding warrants. If there were 45,000 only a couple of years ago and street and vehicle stops are down substantially ( about the only way to catch someone with a warrant unless you arrest them for something else) I can only speculate that there are many more then 45,000 currently. I don't believe that anyone actively looks for bond jumpers these days.I think it would make one hell of a story of the liberal media would pick up on it and actually do some investigative reporting, that is if they remember how.
At least they have one thing going for them. They're not democRATs
We are no longer actively executing warrants in Cook County. To the liberal lawyers, this is not a money maker and pointless to put more people in jail since date and prekwinklw want to Mott the jail. Our Centeal warrants Unit was disbanded. Outstanding warrants are pulling up to the ceiling. Child support enforcement no longer serving warrants. Civil Body Attachment/warrants rarely get looked at and worked.. its bad. No longer are we a law enforcement agency.
I found a ABC Eyewitness News press release from Dart, dated 12 August 2011 announcing with great fanfare the establishment of his new website so people can search for active warrants and leave tips for apprehension. Dart promised that he would update this website weekly. The website has been down for some time now and if you call the warrant section of the CC sheriff's office they will tell you they no longer give out that information. Dart stated in his press release that there were over 45,000 active criminal fugitive warrants in Cook County. How many do you think there are now since active policing has fallen by the way side the past few years? Who is looking for these fugitives? The county? ( i doubt it or not very hard). The city? There are no warrant men in the districts and have not been for many years. Now with Judge Evans and Foxx letting everyone out on I bonds the number can only go up. It seems that many criminals just don't bother to come to court and no one is actively looking for them. That information should make the county residents feel downright safe and secure. i would surely hope the media picks up on this. But, i doubt it as the MSM are enablers of the highest order of the liberal democratic system. Their mantra is pity the poor criminal .By the way while the MSM is at it look into the bracelet monitoring system. I have seen it in action and it is a fraud.

You have no idea what you are talking about. They were terrible and expensive. If you needed a $25 cash bond for traffic they charged $25. Also if you had a high bond they posted it but charged 10% that you never got back. Have a100,000 bond and it cost you $10,000
That may sound good if it only applied to guilty people, but if you were arrested and later dismissed that money was gone and believe it happened. Get a mistaken identity or waiting for lab tests and you paid plenty
