Stopping What Now?
With "fact checking" and reporting like this, the Slum Times deserves to go under:
- Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson announced Sunday that the department has added 108 new officers and five new patrol vehicle equipped with license plate reading technology aimed at stopping carjackings and recovering stolen vehicles.
[...]
The department also expanded license plate reading technology to a handful of new patrol vehicles, the mayor’s office said. The expansion builds on a program launched last year that supports the newly-formed local, state and federal Vehicular Hijacking Task Force. CPD has made over 20 percent more arrests for vehicular hijacking this year.
You'd think that perhaps the "reporter" might ask a few questions instead of regurgitating the City Hall press release. Maybe questions like:
- How does the plate reader technology "stop" a carjacking?
- Is this a "mind reading" plate reader?
- Does it employ "predictive" technology like the old Crystal Ball Unit?
Because plate readers don't do anything preventative. Plate readers (when they work) read thousands of plates in a shift while the officer drives it around answering other calls. It even reads plates driving by while the officer is parked on lunch if the cameras are pointed into traffic. We think they fixed the glitch that "read" wrought iron fences as "1111111" a little while ago - that was a fun time. And if LEADS is running slow, you might pop a hot car five minutes after it passed you in traffic.
But it doesn't "prevent" a damn thing. In fact, if you just got carjacked and called the police, the cops still have to complete a report, call the Administrative Desk at OEMC, get them to put the plate in the system (if you have your plate number), and only then will the plate reader hit on a carjacked vehicle.
Trust us, they're great at finding hot cars on a stretch of road that would take an hour to run forty-five or fifty plates, but preventing?

We can't chase stolen vehicles anyway so what's the point ?
It will be tough fitting those 108 officers in those 5 squad cars.
Banks also use this technology via local police
departments to patrol subdivisions at night to
find cars they want to repossess. The cops are
reimbursed.
Maybe Rahm has revenue streams on his mind.
I've been highly successful in recovering steals with occupants both as a patrolman in a fast district and as a detective. I referred to the old reverse side of the Daily Bulletin with hot plates listed as the "abandoned auto list".
The plates generally checked clear on the stolen vehicles with occupants. Aside from a theft and recovery situation, the only help is the owner gives the confirmed plate right after the vehicle was jacked and stolen and a prompt flash message on all zones and City-Wide and/or preferably, the jacked vehicle plate is entered immediately into the database for the plate reading devices.
Assuming that you're not dealing with a counterfeit VIN plate, the VIN is key in confirming a steal. If the offender(s) keep the steal for a period of time, even months, I assure you that the plates will be replaced and check "clear". One dead giveaway is if the "clear" plates on an expensive new luxury ride check out to an old beater. Run that VIN.
Looks good in the media, so remain calm, remember, all is well!
Rham Kenobi, you are our only hope!
The plate reader doesn’t prevent a damm thing! But you know what does? A real states attorneys office, judges and prison system that is tough on crime. like nearly every neighboring county. How many car jackings do they have? Severe punishment is a deterrent.
WTF?!? And what are the coppers supposed to tell victims when confronted with “I thought you have technology to prevent my carjacking!” Will coppers get disciplined for telling the truth by explaining that the mayor and Supt lied? People have questioned the cameras with the shot-spotter crap on it. I’ve seen coppers request supervisors to answer to the citizens.
All the reporters swallowed this nonsense hook, line and sinker. They are as brain dead as 9.5, specialEd and Lewin are bullshit artists.
More smoke and mirrors from Special ED and 9.5
Vote against Rahm for new CPD management.
What’s the point of the plate reader?? You can’t pursue anyway lmfao
I actually saw a blurb on one of the news channels. I laughed when they described how it helps prevent car jackings. They must think people are stupid. Well maybe they are actually. Anyone who feeds into Rahms bullshit must be stupid.
Simple minded reporting for simple minded readers.
They can't afford to alienate their few readers that they still seem to have.....
Even if you found the car, you couldn't pursue the vehicle due to our no chase policy. Why even bother?
Yeah but the sheep don't know any of this and it makes them think something is being done.
When they work
CPD has made over 20 percent more arrests for vehicular hijacking this year.
i will bet heyjackass would dispute that little gem.
sounds about right. carjacking gets priority over rhamicide.
Might as well guarantee that the plate readers were going to prevent all the homicides from occurring when it's offline too, sheeple will continue to believe in our midget saviour...
Does it employ "predictive" technology like the old Crystal Ball Unit?
Wait, What old Crystal Ball Unit? I just bought tickets to the CBU's 2018 holiday dinner dance...
When I saw this on the news, I SCREAMED at the T.V. yelling " That don't stop shit". I sure hope the Shepple saw thru that non sense. Also him spewing the 1,000 NEW officers that"ll be added by years end.He's spinning it though. 1,000 NEW officers, Ummmmm, OK, as in BRAND NEW, Just replacing the ones that have/will be retired. God I hate this JagBag.....
Time delay in reporting, time delay in LEADS entry.... Gump, you’re a god damn genius!
You can blame this right on Lewin.
The best was the tool Sgt talking like a big shot on T. V. As a P. O. he was the biggest dog with his partner. Well at least while at M. S. F. Joke, nuff said.
The ACLU says it has serious questions about the plate readers something about an invasion of privacy...
I feel better already, I'm gonna take my new BMW and drive downtown tomorrow. What could happen. You people are overreacting.
What a real leader needs to do is go to the CCSA Kim Foxx and encourage her to create a anti-armed robbery task force in conjunction with her office. Yoh can have 500 new officers but until serious punishment is meted out the crime wave will not stop nor slow down. I know Kim is considered crime family but we need a partner in the fight. If you can secure that partnership, the turn around could begin. Convincing her and her office that it would be politically expedient to be on the side of the people would be the first step. Getting good Officers,Detectives and seasoned prosecutors assigned to the task force would be another. Big task.
5 new cars,wow, my crown vic has 180,000 miles.
Look, the story was planted by the Mayor's office so you cannot bring out the weakness of the speed readers, the no chase, slow LEADS policy etc. Besides, in a few months the Sun-Times will be endorsing Rahm as their pick for Mayor. So you can expect more of everything Ramh has delivered since you elected him the the first time.
Will the plate reader also take control of car and chase jacked car? Since CPD has the no chase policy how will this help other than let someone know where car IAAF a particular time. Maybe if parked owner could come and get it. Perfect bait to get owner to come so he can be robbed a second time, these bangers gettin smarter. Wait and let the prey come to m e.
Everyone must complete the ALPR tutorial on ELearning in the next few months. Carjackings will ceast to exist by September I m sure.
This proves how stupid and gullible the reporters are. How after hearing the news could you not ask the obvious questions. Da.
How do you know when Rham al gouhl is lying . . . . When he has a pulse and is breathing

You obviously are not the police and not a Chicagoan.
We have no subdivisions here.
We have neighborhoods, like Englewood, Austin, Lawndale, etc.
And the CPD is too busy to "help" any bank repossess anything.
Not to stoleesdie at all but I will agree that plate readers are a great tool if used properly. Most of our robberies, carjackings and shootings are happening with stolen cars. If plate readers can find them and recover them parked before they can be used it may slow things down. I agree it won’t stop them... if they want to carjack they will find a away but I do think it will make it harder if their cars keep getting taken. My two cents.
Bring back low Jack.
BOY does special ED read any of his press releases!
Does GOO-GUY-LIE_emmy know what a plate reader does or how stolen cars are reported here in the second city? (carpetbagger)
Does KIM DA FOXX want the jails empty to save PRICKWRINKLE screwed up County Budget?
Say this on TV last night. This does nothing if you're not allowed to chase. I might be crazy, but I'm not stupid. Then again, if a plate comes up hot maybe you can slowly creep next to the car at a red light and smile and wave. I think that would count towards your "positive community interaction" directives. Now I get it!
Plate readers have been in the fleet since 2005
If you can't dazzle them intelligence then baffle them with hi-tech bullshit......Spot on SCC ,second announcement of joint task force and the "Tech" will do nothing but it makes the snowflakes feel better cause they think tech is the easy button to all life's problems
If they really wanted to cut down on the number of carjackings I am a Wonderful idea.
When the police arrest a person for carjacking, don’t release them a few hours later
so that they can do it again the very same day. Or hope that the person being carjacked
is a retired police officer or a CCL holder that knows how to eliminate the threat properly
Pay no attention to the 9.5 fingered midget behind the curtain. I hope and pray were done with you next year.
Plate readers came out over ten years ago. They were not much good then and the program was abandoned. The reader is useless if the vehicle has just been stolen, They are only good if the license plate information is entered into the system, but the public will believe that it is a cure for the carjackings, because the Mayor said so. Many people don't know there License plate especially after going through stressful event. The 110 officers that are to be added to the force only take the place of the officers who have retired, about to retire or resigned, but it sounds good to the public. The mayor is betting the public will not put two and two together.
They also report that about 2/3 rds of the 100 identify as minority.
WTF??
I didn’t realize the racial breakdown of the city is 2/3 rds minority..... afterall all Rahm and Ed care about is getting CPD to “look” like the “community”.
I guess the Northwest and Southwest sides don’t have a voice in “demanding” that more police “look”like them.
Tomorrow is May 1
Can't wait for Rahm, Special Ed and the media to tell how crime is once again down
It will be tough fitting those 108 officers in those 5 squad cars.........................
Not a problem. 103 are being assigned to special details and inside jobs!!!
They are selling the public on the monitoring and tracking technology that will better allow those at the top of the pyramid to manage society.
I have to take a plate reader out because there is gang conflict on my beat, I don’t know why that calls for a plate reader, but I pretty much ignore it because it mostly comes up with plates that are expired, suspended, or it just reads the plate wrong. Not one hit in two months has come up with an actual stolen vehicle.

Whew... so happy someone so knowledgeable is a detective now. Patrol lost a true gem with this one
SMH
I use it to check my lottery tickets. Unfortunately no winners yet.
Does anyone in a leadership position know what they are doing? This city is doomed because of politics!
Plate reader will identify stolen / high jacked cars taken at gunpoint .
CPD cannot chase the identified vehicles , offenders if apprehended will be charged with CTTV by our SA that says to many people of color in jail .
Reading the comments. People still want to chase...
You know what would prevent "carjackings"? More police and squads actually on the street. That could even save lives too! You know what else could help stop this downward spiral of crook county, ACTUALLY PROSECUTING & IMPRISONING OFFENDER'S, ESPECIALLY REPEAT, REPEART, REPEAT OFFENDER"S......No lets just keep BS'ing the public and telling them there are more cops on the street.......Oh yeah and build bigger airports for all the people who will not be headed for Murder, Mayhem, and Malfeasance!
Democ"RATS" look up that word malfeaseance, I think it was created to describe you!
And the private company used to provide the plate readers boasts they have billions of records on law abiding Americans going about their business. These plate reading records are maintained by a private company to sell to anyone they wish to enhance their bottom line and make big profits. Records kept for eternity I might add. Must be a connected (wink wink) firm. And they get lots of public money to provide a "service".
The whereabouts of your legally registered car time stamped and geo coded, driven by a law abiding citizens, properly licensed and not in the commission of a crime is forever put on a "legally permissible criminal purpose" database complete with a photograph of the driver in the vehicle. East Germany and the KGB wished they had such a data base to identify enemies and to blackmail to achieve their nefarious objectives.
And for those who say "who cares" look at the abuse of power by the federal government via the FBI namely Comey, Lisa Page and Peter Strzok, to name a few. This database is regularly sold to private investigators, insurance companies, data miners, journalists, private attorneys all of whom pay big money and have "legally permissible" interests in such an intrusive database. And don't bother making a "not so legally permissible" inquiry in the information collected on you, the law abiding American. If you were illegal violating federal law and applied for a City of Chicago identification card, this "sharing" of information is prohibited and locked up tight like Fort Knox. In case you want to seek transparency from the collection of your data, your collected information is strictly off limits identifying those who have an interest in your private lives requesting information. Just think, we live in America not North Korea.

Arnt you just special Serpico
108 new officers to the districts is only 4,26 per district. Big deal. These five new police vehicle cannot prevent car jacking but could fine stolen vehicle. Then call special Ed and the Mayor to chase the offenders and then have Foxxie not charge then.
Why even get involved in a chase? I really want to fuck myself
The purpose of this is twofold:
#1. Bullshit ole John Q. that “something” is being done without actually laying hands upon anyone, especially “Rahm’s kids”👹 and various and sundry “dreamers”👹. Look at that Mabel, they’re getting smart.......😂👮🏻♀️😂👮🏻🤮
#2. Big score for Vanecko and Sons. Plate Readers.🤑
It’s great for recovering parked stolen autos, but that is more of a issue for the insurance companies.
However, if they hit in it doesn’t really matter. One of 2 things happens:
1) Dude hits the gas, and your stop is immediately terminated, or
2) Dude hits the gas, and like a fool you chase him and get jammed up.
Lose/Lose proposition. Invest that money into the pensions instead.
Plate readers DON'T stop car jackings. They find stolen vehicle's only if the owner reported the vehicle stolen. PLATE READERS DONT STOP CAR JACKINGS AT ALL !
98 of the officers will be in admin spots, assisting a commander or chief. The other 10 will be told their not doing enough to stop the car-jacking and get dumped after the summer..
$$ well spent, NOT!
Once the plate reader goes off we can’t chase them and if we do Cabrini Kimmy lets them go. What’s the point?
The fucker up plate reader we had would always read the plate bracket as a one also. Would put a one in the front and on the back of every plate. What a POS.
CPD has made over 20 percent more arrests for vehicular hijacking this year.
Well since carjackings are up over 200% i suppose there would be more arrests this year.
As predicted, Rahm and Juggie are touting 100 new squibs a month for the rest of the year.
Must be an election coming.
Maybe there’s a Contract coming for good measure.
No mention of the net total once the oldies but goodies retire.
Nonsense stuff sheep will never notice or Media will ask.
Pointless to have a multitude of tech and equipment that is merely for show.
No feral critter is worth the chase in Cook County.
No feral critter sees a CC lockup and are too tired to show up for court.
What good is an arrest without prosecution that leads to a conviction, and a conviction that eventually gets expunged - for free.
Hands off the Rahm Kids.
Stick that expensive bullshit stuff up your ass Rahm n’ Jugg.
Fund the pension and retiree healthcare.
Make Rahm n’ Juggheads last year a great one.
Do Nothing but show up on the 1st & 16th.
The press conference last month was geared towards the “no chase” policy. Maybe we can throw the new beanbags at the carjacker. I know you guys heards about the new beanbags. Lol

How else are you going to catch them? Check the plate registration and go to the victims house and see if the offender is there
Plate reader technology is a great tool. Of course Chicago bows to ACLU and only retains info for 30 days. Sad when other agencies use private vendors with years of retention. We suck
City has no chase policy. !!!!!! What's the point !!!!! Put thousand people on task force Won't matter. No chase policy. !!!!! Chicago welcomes all car jackers. Just drive away recklessly and you will be fine !!!!!! Criminal paradise in this shit ass City
Plate readers didn't help much when my car was stolen. And it was missing for three weeks until by a stroke of dumb luck I found it myself after I went for a walk.
,three blocks from where it was stolen. After I called 911 and had the officer over, even he looked perplexed as he said why didnt those readers catch it too.
So now they have alerted the bad guys to throw a different / non stolen plate on these cars. Nice job rahm, it takes a village to raise a criminal. What an incredibly stupid man he is.
Great 1995 technology gonna solve everything
About the only good thing the plate readers could do on a carjacking is that when the S_Heads drop the car the plate reader can tell the Department of Finance or Revenge, where it is so it can be booted if it has open tickets.
Fact checking??? Never heard of it.
Smoke meet mirror. This department is a joke. Led by inept fools. Politicians are the problem.
It will fool Ram's great unwashed voters. It will also fool the Starbucks Coffee crowd. Their minds are atrophied by that stuff already.
What happens when you got a hit? Nothing . . . . . You can't chase,remember. If you chase something went bad you loose your job and sued at the same time and also pray nobody died because you go to prison. If ever you were lucky enough you were able to arrest them, what now? States attorney's office won't approve any felony charges. So they are out in a couple of hours. If it's a juvenile, mom and dad gets to pick their honor child home. Their solution, federal taskforce they created so they can be charged federally because cook county asa are useless.
Who is this googlaenima dude. ?
at my station, the WC has sent it to 91st and Harbor 4 times for repair and it still doesn't work.

You must not read the blog very often. He has been discussed ad nauseam.
Reporters from the paper aren't bright enough to ask the obvious questions. So they get a headline, but no substance of any value in their stories.
Probably can't figure out why the paper is going under. But don't worry, there won't be any intelligent reports. Just Hillary style "it's all YOUR fault" because we're perfect.

Stumbled upon this....if there was a way to clout contract this......
Just the mention of this Joint Task Force will throw fear into the hearts of the carjackers. Carjacking will stop
Why don’t y’all meet and fight.
