Investigative Alert? Gone!

  • A divided Illinois appellate court on Thursday struck down a longstanding Chicago police department practice in which supervisors could order police to arrest suspects they encounter on the street without the need for a search warrant or the officer observing any crime.

    That practice, called an “investigative alert,” violates the state constitution by obtaining “approval for arrests without the one thing the framers of the Illinois Constitution thought most essential—the presentation of sworn facts to a judge,” states the majority opinion, authored by Illinois Appellate Judge Michael B. Hyman.

    Hyman noted the issue was not one of speed: “The alerts are not issued instantaneously; in many cases, investigative alerts take the same or more time to procure than a warrant.”

    While such an arrest might be warranted under the U.S. Constitution, which focuses on whether probable cause existed at the time of arrest, the majority focused on the more narrow interpretation of search and seizure law under the Illinois constitution.
So the leeway granted under the US Constitution is tossed to the side while the Illinois Supreme Court grants even more freedom to the lawbreakers.

Expect arrests to plummet even further when even more victims don't want to stick around or appear in court to swear out an actual warrant.

In completely unrelated and un-coincidental news, Groot and other assorted lib-tards are still supporting anonymous complaints against police officers, disregarding the Sworn Affidavit law - you know, like actually swearing to the facts.

The IL Supreme Court might reverse this ruling from the appeals court...

Seems two of the three justices on appeal are SJWs looking to make the law as they see fit. Read the dissent:

"But Mason, in her own opinion, wrote, “The source of these “facts” is undisclosed, and the majority’s reliance on them is improper.”

She concluded, “I can discern no apparent explanation for the conclusion that this case at this time presents the ideal opportunity to resolve a constitutional issue of first impression raised sua sponte by the majority. For all of the foregoing reasons, I respectfully dissent.”"

Aside from PC, all IAs are on signed compliants, no different then any arrest while working the street. By that standard are all arrests unconsitutional without a warrant? does every arrest now need to be reveiwed by a court before it can be effected? Wtf was this judge thinking..

I have a simple fix if the anonymous complaint gets allowed. Every single cop should get all his friends and relatives to make anonymous complaints about him. Let's say 10,000 cops get 10 people each to complain. That would flood Groot's minions with too many complaints to manage. Just make sure the complaints can be shown as bogus. Like about something you allegedly did to a member of the community in the 5th while you were on patrol in the 16th.

So an arrest made through an “investigative alert” complies with the U.S. Constitution but not the Illinois Constitution, which is stricter as it requires a Warrant for all arrests.

Okay... but what about that Supremacy Clause thingy?
---> Article VI, Clause 2 states: The Constitution, and all laws made in pursuance thereof,, etc etc ..shall be the supreme law of the land and the Judges in EVERY STATE shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding. <---

In plain English, that means the US Constitution takes precedence over any State Law and/or State Constitution. And any Decision by SCOTUS is included in the Constitution.

I'm NOT a lawyer but you don't need to be one to know basic civics and about the Supremacy Clause. If Cook County had a real States Attorney they should appeal this ruling to the 7th Circuit (United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit).

ps: Interesting find; Justice Brett Kavanaugh is now the Circuit Justice for the 7th Circuit.

The real fault lies with the cook county states attorneys office which will not give detectives warrant approval. They wanted these stops so they could reject the charges once the offender is brought in. With a warrant the offender goes straight to court.

Unfortunately the States Attorneys Office has always been stingy with a warrant. At least for violent crimes. Their take was that if they issued an arrest warrant the suspect could no longer be held or spoken with at the area. It was an automatic CB with IR and off to jail.

So, am I reading this right? A known offender of an actual crime, upon which there are signed complaints by a victim, which is posted on an investigative alert, is NOT ABLE to be arrested anymore unless/until a warrant is obtained?

Not sure, it’s been awhile - but IA never had “arrest on sight” condition written into them, I believe these alerts just ask for a notification to the Area/agency.
Being that, is it that when an Investigative Alert dude is found on a street stop (pc) and that leads to voluntary detainment or a relocation leads to an arrest? The “named in a case report” would be another example though not a IA would need a warrant and become false arrest (lawsuit).

Jae-Bae Pigster & GrootLoafers will be elated and welcome the community hopes and changes.

Oh my, that pesky probable cause, it’s putting too much stress on the feral miscreants liberties and goins’about.
Soon they feral won’t have to run and cause chase.
Untouchable.
Warrants won’t be as generous, maybe even eliminated (how busy is the warrant office - even 20 years ago) or courts will just give 10 passes before ordering up a BFW.
If that is doesn’t work, I’m sure Sanctuary IL soon make pc invalid too.

I don't have a dog in this fight, and I don't come down on one side of the issue or the other, but I have to ask:

Are "Investigative Alerts" resulting in arrests provided for under any statutes in the state? And as was pointed out in original post by SCC, it can take awhile to get an IA issued, which in a sense obviates the need to have a mechanism for them in the first place. Why not just get the warrant and have it on record, which not only covers all the bases legally as far as effecting an arrest but also will be triggered if another agency outside the jurisdiction of Chicago comes across the suspect, and can then arrest and hold him/her until they can be retrieved.

Just a thought.

Finally the current Superintendent sign off on this order back during 13th Period 2018. I'm sure the Office of Legal Affairs weighed in on it. We are all under the guidelines to be in compliance in the next 28 days because it is Mandatory Monthly training or face disclipary action. I'm I missing something, but when they were called Stop Orders was there a challenge then. Assuming that it was challenged then they must have gone to the table and they came back with the IA Directive. This must of met the Judiciary-Muster.

The humps at FAU will now be getting credit for a warrant arrest instead of Part 1 in which they had no part in investigating

Grow up. You find the offender and then you can have all the credit you want, but then again, if you could find them there would be no need for an IA.

So, if IA are dead then so is picking up someone named in a case report that’s more than an hour or so old. Can’t do a show up than you probably will have to get a warrant.

Read the General Order for photospreads, or just let the detectives handle it

So an arrest made through an “investigative alert” complies with the U.S. Constitution but not the Illinois Constitution, which is stricter as it requires a Warrant for all arrests.

Okay... but what about that Supremacy Clause thingy?
---> Article VI, Clause 2 states: The Constitution, and all laws made in pursuance thereof,, etc etc ..shall be the supreme law of the land and the Judges in EVERY STATE shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding. <---

In plain English, that means the US Constitution takes precedence over any State Law and/or State Constitution. And any Decision by SCOTUS is included in the Constitution.

I'm NOT a lawyer but you don't need to be one to know basic civics and about the Supremacy Clause. If Cook County had a real States Attorney they should appeal this ruling to the 7th Circuit (United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit).

ps: Interesting find; Justice Brett Kavanaugh is now the Circuit Justice for the 7th Circuit.

Only 2000 cops in patrol responding to jobs you think we need MORE arrests to sit in the station on paper while the district burns. More arrests equals less visibility. I know what you’re thinking, it’s what we signed up for... no shit Sherlock, but so did every other sworn officer on this job(the caps dollies, commander’s crew, etc etc).
BTW why does CAPS order a beat car to guard them at their beat meetings? Having to leave the station once a month can be really intimidating, I realize that, but you're the police. So do your job and conduct those hour long meetings. 4 cAppers is enough at a meeting you don’t need 7.


It’s becoming a joke if CAPS needs a squad to guard them. If something happens , they can take action

OP is correct, I’ve seen it myself. That’s in 016 of all places!

Make paper, take your time to get the facts, obtain signed complaints, engaged your supervisors as needed and work at a pace that is required to successfully complete the job. If you rush to finish a job you may make a mistake and be called for it. Best be thorough and complete on each job. Give the Community the police service it wants and deserves.

Where is the 72 hour rule with a warrant written? We have all parroted it for years but I can’t find anything on paper.

Well, Detectives will now get even more, or will it be less overtime ? What will it be ? It seems the more Red-Tape involved, the more OT, and the more the Chicago Taxpayers get raped and have to pay for this nonsense..

Ralph Papa Thorson Says :

Illinois needs to legalize Fugitive Recovery Agents ( Bounty Hunters), to do the job the cops no longer have time to do, rounding up the thousands of predator criminal offenders who have jumped bail and are out loose on our streets, causing mayhem, selling dope, and committing numerous felonies while out about on the loose. Think about it.

If you go by the logic of the Courts then can the same logic be said of Look Out Messages? You respond to the scene of where a victim of a crime gives you a description of the offender(s) If we are to use the court's logic then how can we arrest someone who matches the description of a crime in a look out message?

a few years ago, when Dart was relatively new in his job, the Cook County Sheriff's website listed people who had warrants. There were almost 50,000 names on that website. That data base is no longer available to the public. Imagine that! Almost 50,000 outstanding Cook County Warrants. i wonder how many there are now? The police department got rid of their warrant officers in each district years ago. Who is looking for these people? Anyone?

Case should go to the Illinois Supreme Court, because so long as probable cause exists, you don't need a warrant in the first place! If you can't show a judge you have p.c. then you can't get a warrant anyway. Wowzers!

To the poster that said: "To the poster who said IA’s are flawed. You don’t know shit. IA’s with probable cause all have signed complaints. I guess you can no longer arrest a named offender in a case reporting. This will definitely affect the numbers." You don't know shit too

You act like your Tommy Lee Jones in The Fugitive. You log into Accurint and knock on doors and do writs in on people in county(detectives already have charges approved). You're not doing shit.

Some of the areas of 016 are not that great. And As everyone here likes to point out...

The cops in the CAPS office 'are not the real police' so a Beat Meeting is a soft target, so a squad to sit on the box.
