No Parking!

It's our favorite time of the year - the IQ test to see if Chicagoans actually read the Winter Parking bans.

We're predicting a record year this time around as temperatures are going to be in the 50's and 60's tomorrow, and there isn't any snow in the foreseeable future.

We'll guess at 145 cars this year.

Off topic but 42 firemen reported their badges missing/ stolen for the month of November. Talk about not making it obvious that they want to keep them before they retire! Why do these idiots need badges anyway ?

Oh please. The city would never ask coppers to ticket and tow cars, when there isn't even any snow on the ground. That would go against our Legitimacy classes, and Gaining the Trust, and the rest of the bullshit they have been shoveling.

SCC - Ever notice how the tv news reports show the full size red,white,&blue snowfall over 2 inches sign instead of the half size red/white sign for the 3am parking ban, every night, regardless of snowfall?

Firemen need badges because they want to be like policemen.

More good news no people parking there asses at football games;

NFL HELL: Thousands of Empty Seats Plague Redskins vs. Cowboys Kickoff (PHOTOS)

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/11/nfl-hell-thousands-empty-seats-plague-redskins-vs-cowboys-kickoff-photos/

Hopefully soon the anti-police anti-military football franchises will go the way of the dinosaurs, and all the so-called athletes will have to get a real job they're qualified to maybe work at a fast food restaurant but that would be about it God bless the đź‘®! This is what is called winning!

That ordanance is so fucked up. It should be an "if/then" clause. If after December 1st and there is inclement weather approaching then parking ban in effect".

Fireman don't typically wear badges. I can see how it would be easy to misplace or get liberated by a fambly member or other sticky fingered associate.

No shit. That’s an official report. Not smart. This must be all those guys that resigned their rank and are now retiring at a lower rank but want to keep the higher rank badge. Whatever, hopefully Ferguson doesn’t open an investigation and discover they all lied.

Maybe they want to take a fire truck home and let the grandkids play on it in the driveway.

Ever think of just having a duplicate made so you don’t have to make an official report?

Not if they went to CPS. Reading was not a required course. To busy learning Ebonics. That begs a question, shouldn't all signs be bilingual, after all Chicago is a sanctuary city. Some clouded form could make millions redoing all the signs.

Well my WC said I was doing a fine job since I made it to the district and told me even though I only had 2 years on the job, he could probably help to get me on midnights as a BID vs my current midnights management spot so I wrote every car last night. Man those tow drivers were hooking them all night. Then that pushover soft day WC was actually mad at me once everyone started calling after 0600 to complain.

BINGO! Mr. Southside!

The best advice I got when I came on the job 27 years ago was watch out for the Firemen. They all think they are the Police. They are some of the first ones to tell you how to do your job and fuck up a scene. Then they will rat you out in a heartbeat. They have all day at the Firehouse to pretend they are heroes. Its held true all these years. Now the paramedics on the other hand, they work their asses off. They deserve respect.

How are they going to get a pass if they don’t have a badge
Would be interesting to see if they take a one day suspension like CPD, but doubt that’s going to happen

Quit making excuses for them. They are grown men and if they were assigned badges they should take care of them

The same reason they gave an Idiot like you a badge.

Its the BADGE of your Office.

Heard the complaining on "news"radio with half the comments bleeped out. (Cursing)
Compared it to a "money grab, like the red light cameras."

Sometimes it snows in December. Sometimes not.
Must be the global warming this year, er climate change. (Sarcasm)

Aside, that you give your opinion to a radio station, call letters on the microphone, and you still must curse. And one wonders why the "kids" are the way they are!

NOT ILLINOIS. NOT LAW.

12:21 hit the nail on the head - CFD issues a retired badge&ID. These bozos wanted to keep the higher rank badge. ALWAYS axe em for the ID, there are a lot of badges floating around out there. No ID? Inventory the item. Disposition - TOT CFD. If they're legit, let them retrieve it from CFD.

Correct, the Star is what you wear.

But the Term "Badge of Office" still is correct.

CFD badge is a rectangle as I recall.

Finance Street Ops staff wear a Star.

TMA use a Shield

Lots of other Departments in Chicago use a Star.

But it is still your badge of Office.
