Hit the medical and milk it.
Rest, plenty of fluids and take it easy.
The thugs and shiheads will still be out there.
Go ICE! Round em up and boot their illegal asses out!
Lol @ the thought of SCC hiding in the weeds with a 12GA.
pump stoked full of 870 grain "shit-knocker-outers" bka as Dixie
Slug's Dangerous Game Load.
Think of it a waayy fortified .69 Minié Ball but in .73 caliber.
Hold on tight... They kill almost as hard through the butt
as they do through the bore.
As one wag said:
"Good enough for anything that walks,
crawls, runs or flies."
Get well soon SCC and happy hunting.
Feel better brother SCC. You’re no good to us ailing. Chicken soup good for the soul, raw chicken good for the gator. What’s good for the goose is good for the gator. So if I’m thinking straight, what’s good for the goose is to stay away from the gator.
God speed.
Best wishes for your recovery/ too nice weather to be ill
I am a suburban copper and a long time reader of SCC.
I have been to the City 5 times in the 3 years. I have been "Taxed" by The City 4 of my 5 visits. I normally only drive in while I have out of town visitors that want to sight see.
I was cited on three occasions over those 3 years while the vehicle was parked for not displaying a front registration plate, This occurred while my guests and I were spending money at some of the tourist destinations.
Tonight I took family into the city for ice cream and to one of the tourist hotdog spots.(The place with the hotdogs on the roof :) My vehicle was parked for no more than twenty minutes and when I returned my vehicle was "Booted" for those past parking tickets.
After having to take an Uber to an impound yard, pay the $610.00 fees, pay for an Uber back, and then wait for two hours for the boot to be removed. Between the tickets, the boot, and the Uber, it cost me over $700 and 5 hours of time over a few front plate parkers.
This left a great impression of the city on my guests. And to think they were worried about being mugged down there by hoodlums.I told them the real hoodlums down here wear suits.
I know people are going to say I should have paid the tickets to begin with....I know, I know. But we're still talking about over $500 for three parkers.
Lesson learned.
STAY OUT OF THE CITY !!
Some times it happens. Take a breath, take a break and get back to it. Best wishes and good will to you and all of the good, hard working CPD Officers out there.
Anyone notice the "new" Education and Training Facility policy? Looks like it was written after a certain lie-tenant addressed recruits to open a certain door (probably while out of uniform, and without ID displayed).
I hope You feel better soon.Thanks for all You do !
get well soon scc and thank you for everything you do in the name of justice!
0248...maybe it would’ve just been easier to have a front plate to begin with, which is legally required and you should know that as a cop. On top of that, you deliberately didn’t pay the tickets and they caught you for it. Why cry about it? Pay your tickets, put a front plate on your car and don’t act above the law. This isn’t rocket science.
Put a front plate on your car, it's state law. Next time take your visitors to Indiana, you're not required to display a front plate. If your visitors want to see the skyline, Google it and hit images. Takes 2min and alot cheaper. Sorry you got hit by the parking vultures, but what did you expect with obvious violations and not paying the tickets. Be glad you're only visiting this hell hole and not a resident or forced resident.
To any trolls out there. Should I have the occasion to assist ICE in any manner this weekend, I will gladly do whatever I can. I will not follow the illegal orders of the mayor. Be safe and may the Lord protect you in your mission.
Get well..... SCC is a great asset ... your efforts are (or at least should be) greatly appreciated, SCC is a billboard of thoughts ideas, some profound, some inane , some insightful some stupid, but a barometer of the feelings of the rank and file of CPD.... Get well
Wish you a full recovery SCC.
Love reading you.

Actually you would fit in well in our city. Blaming the consequences of your own actions on someone else.
How about just get a front license plate and be in compliance with state law, officer? You as a cop should know how important having a front license plate is when patrolling the street. And why do you think you should be exempt from it? Because you’re a cop? Because you and your friends paid for ice cream downtown?
Put the front plate on buddy. Lesson learned.

No goof, lesson learned: the ILCS applies even to suburban cops. Try putting a front plate on your car like every other IL resident is required to and watch your troubles magically disappear. After the first two tickets I would think one would learn.
SCC, a warm glass of milk and laying down and counting sheep may get you a solid 8-10 in the rack. Maybe try counting alligators. Alligator "elmer fudd" Bob still can't catch that waskwy wallagator "EL PINCHO".
You mean the lie-tenant who was placed in “ Captain” training ?
Who’s husband is an exempt ?
Who’s friends of the superintendent?
Whatever became of that embarrassing debacle?
Is she a captain yet ?
Just axin
Thanks for all you do
Working too much SCC
Take some time off
Take care of #1
Best of Luck
Hey, 7/13/2019 02:48:00 AM, ever think about putting on the front plate you paid for? You are allegedly, a suburban copper?
to 2.48am: why don’t you just put the front plate on your car in the first place? Too cool for it? We get written up and face discipline for violations like that and having just one unpaid parking ticket.
You got caught,,,,own up to it
LESSON LEARNED. Don't park like an idiot.

I know you really got stung, but as you already related, it is a lesson learned. The results of your visit have fortified the result of my own personal risk versus benefit assessment which is to avoid Chicago whenever possible.
To the suburban cop:
Buy a front plate, or stay in Indiana. What does the front plate cost? $60?
But you were "smart" and "saved" money.
Lol. Thanks for the money you spent. Welcome to Chicago. Come for the crime. Stay for the corruption.
Take your time and be well. Thank you for the light you shine on the despicable, ridiculous, and downright stupid.

Hope you feel better soon. We enjoy reading your blog.
Take care of yourself SCC. I can't imagine how much time and effort it takes to make this the greatest blog going. Many thanks for shining the light on all the BS in this city, county, and state.
When then Attorney General “championed” a State Consent Decree, and unexplainedly dropped out out of politics it seemed like very strange timing. I agree wholeheartedly agree with Mayor Lightfoot that our department needs and wants a more level playing field and a more professional manner of training. We need to revisit this illegal Decree in that it binds our hands and destroys morale and opens us up for eventual lawsuits that manipulate the data. Our Union needs to demand the immediate termination of the decree and work with the legal and common sense improvements. With the Madigan Crime Family vulnerable now is the time.
Oh great, Lori’s Pro-illegal stance is gonna cost us millions!

I have a better idea. Why not comply with the law requiring a front plate?
Throughout their long careers Daley,Madigan and Burke despised each other due to their enormous egos. They tried to play nice in public and needed each other’s influences to survive but those same egos and self preservation might lead to some very interesting cooperation very soon. Expect some “serious health issues” with these people and their inner circles. A certain Ex-Congressman is caught red handed in something much nefarious and he is said to be panic stricken. Please please don’t drop the ball Feds.
Dear suburban cooper, you should’ve known better. Illinois your required to have a front and rear plate. You got caught apparently multiple times and refused to pay for the original parking tickets of 60bucks. Then they doubled after 7 days. Times multiple citations you get wacked. It’s your own fault.
Chicago is dirty, congested, decaying, corrupt, predatory and violent. It's enough to give anyone diarrhea. Sleep and hydration SCC. Meanwhile, we'll stumble around as best we can, cursing the darkness.
Stay well SCC. We need you in tip top condition for the battles et to be fought. Unity and strength for good to triumph over the evils of socialism.
Stay away from liberals, rest and organic chicken bone broth will do it scc.
Get well soon we "NEED" you SCC.
PS: "CWB" great site, also.
Blue Flu? I hope it's contagious...
Slightly OT
Over 400,000 people have signed on to rush the gates at Area 51 to see what the government is doing. I wonder what the FOP and city hall would do if 13000 rushed their way in to look at the books.
Be well, and Feel better!

Having a front plate is a requirement in the state, not just the city.
If you are from Indiana where a front plate is not required, you could have easily protested those tickets. Even I, a mere civilian, have successfully won parking and speed camera ticket appeals - even by mail.
If you're from IL, well, you should know better and I'm surprised you don't get pulled over all the time in your civilian car.

Thank you for running this blog.
O.T. Chicago Immigration Raids
Beginning Sunday ICE will start immigration raids in Chicago and about a dozen other cities.
Thank you Mr. President for enforcing the laws of our great nation. We need to listen to our Founding Fathers. America has changed so much. Let us restore America to the vision our Founding Fathers once had.
"All" this bullshit has got me in a funk lately, too! Feel better SCC!
Rest up and get better SCC! It's too hot out for gator hunting anyway.

I call BS. You need a front plate everywhere in illinois. And that fairy tale about the hot dog place? Why wouldn't you park in their huge free lot. And even on the slim chance you really did street park, you would have seen the boot truck coming.
Don’t worry SSC, there will always be a plethora of dillies and dallies to write about when you return. Chicago leadership guarantees fails. Get some rest.
Dumb shit they showed you. You should know better. Bet you’ll pay next time. Would think after first ticket you should have earned. Guess you can’t fix stupid.
Hey, "SUBURBAN COPPER," comply with the law. You sound like the people we encounter every day who want to lay blame for their predicaments at the feet of everyone except the man in the mirror.
Hope you're joking about the gators. Leave them be.
Ed was miffed when he was told he couldn't have the marine unit sail into the lagoon from the lake and handle this.
...Groot disease?
You may be taking it easy, but Chalkie has been busy. Three dead by noon Saturday. One mass shooting where 5 were shot.
Got sent to Humboldt Park last 2 nights on Special Attn, the dirty little secret from all the Conservation people is that the gator is gone. A hungry 4 foot gator is somewhere in Humboldt Park and the bosses all know that something ugly is going to happen and we'll get blamed for what we do or don't do. The hope is that someone responds to a foul odor, the worst case scenario is some little child retrieving a ball from shrubs or a marshy field gets snatched.
sit in the hot tub, sit in the pool

You must be a Democrat. You’re blaming everyone else for your problems. Illinois state law requires a front license plate. Why didn’t you have one? Then you blew off paying the tickets and then made the mistake of coming back to Chicago. What did you expect? Self inflicted frustration.
Let us discuss the city folk or people coming out to the western suburbs committing bmvs and auto thefts while having guns out, surprise surprise not one mention in the news. Suburban cops be careful. City cops as well cuz every high end car in englewood is occupied by armed offenders.
O/T. Cant wait to retire...this job will kill you !!!!!!!!!!!!
"I am a suburban copper and a long time reader of SCC .
I don't believe your BS. Your tickets were probably issued everywhere else since Illinois requires two plates. Good one you troll.
Never received a ticket for no front plate on a corvette mostly in the suburbs.
You got to be a real POS to waste time and money issuing a ticket for such a injury to the state. Many states do not have such a ridiculous law. Open your dam eyes for real crimes going on.
The very few tickets I ever received the past 46 years I beat every dam one except one when I was about age 19.

Wouldn’t have been $500 parking tickets if you paid them on time. Fines double if you don’t pay. As far as one plate, you need 2 plates on your car. I missed the subsection where it says you only need one if you are going to tourist attractions
For those of you who wish to discretely report the locations of ten or more illegal immigrants to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), phone the Chicago office at (630)574-4600.

Lol. Thanks for the money you spent. Welcome to Chicago. Come for the crime. Stay for the corruption.

You don't have to "buy" a front plate. The state of Illinlois requires 2 plates on every vehicle (and guess what, they even tell you which one goes where!). This is basic IVC learnin' in every police academy in the state!
When you register your car for the 1st time, need replacemnt plates due to theft or loss, get a vanity plate, etc, you get a matched set!! He either has it on another car (trying to scam the system) or didn't want to ruin the look of his Prius, with a front plate holder.
So I call bullshit on this guy/gal being a copper. If he/she really is, then too f*cking bad. You got caught not one, not 2, but 3 times for having no front plate. Even a moron would get a clue after the 1st time.
Dear one plate,
Had you instead gone to South Western Ave. with the in-laws you could have gotten a dog at the infamous Fat Johnnies, then gone over by there past the Beverly Country Club ( where Ed Burke and Barack Obama are members ) to 91st and gotten a Rainbow Cone. You might have also experienced a celebrity sighting of Father Pfleger or Chance the Rapper. You wouldn’t have been booted as boot crews would have been chowin’ down with you.
I would bet “Suburban Copper” has written many pimpy tickets, i.e. no seatbelt as the only cite, 6 over the speed limit, fail to signal lane change-only ticket , Tinted (or clear) plate covers. Does he sit in parking lots with binoculars looking for drunks leaving clubs-i’ve seen that being done by several NW suburban departments.
That said, who parks on the street at Superdawg? Who takes out of towners just for ice cream there? Who ignores three parker’s and the late notices, who ignores the “boot eligibility letter”? He should see if his DL is still valid, they get suspended for unpaid tickets here.
In a nutshell, he got caught-Cupcakeneeds to suck it up
Lightgroot and Waller scheduled to make an appearance for 025 01 watch roll call. Wonder what message of joy they ha e to bring

Never received a ticket for no front plate on a corvette mostly in the suburbs.
You got to be a real POS to waste time and money issuing a ticket for such a injury to the state. Many states do not have such a ridiculous law. Open your dam eyes for real crimes going on.
The very few tickets I ever received the past 46 years I beat every dam one except one when I was about age 19.

You got to be a real POS to not follow state law and put both plates on your car.
Son, I’m positive you wouldn’t know a real crime if it was happening in your vette.
6:52 pm
Showing your ignorance. Obama is not a member at Beverly. Burke is. It was Zalewski who got ruffled up by the feds there a couple of months ago. I just want to keep the facts straight. You know, because I am sure you would have your undies bunched at the thought of any misrepresentation of facts as it pertained to you, acting stupid.

I am a suburban copper... 2:48am
GTFO if you’re a suburban Illinois copper than I’m a fairy princess.
How many days has it been? Can't 'Alligator Bob" catch this creature yet? Just another example, of how this city hires the lowest qualified.
Hope you're feeling better SCC. Off topic, I heard from a very reliable source that Lightfoot spent upwards of $150,000 on a new bulletproof
limo. Now, I'm just a lowly fireman who doesn't know much about security details, but a pope-mobile on the taxpayer's dime for this pipsqueak along with non CPD security seems a might exorbitant.
Get well soon, I will get the DT's if I don't get my SCC.
I am a suburban copper and a long time reader of SCC.
I read it all. And just stop right there. Despite all the bull$hit, I am proud to be CPD.

Hey, suburban guy. Are you from the suburb of OZ?
You wanna catch the gator??? Just yell "Hereeeeee Hillaryyyyy"
7/13/2019 02:48:00 AM
Hey ! Jaggy balls ! You're not above the law you nefarious scalawag.
To 2:48am: I have to wonder what your visitors thought of you when you didn't pay past tickets and continued to run without a front tag and then having to wait on you because you got caught and booted. What kind of impression did that make? Then you blame everyone else for what happened? Ya sure there are much more important things and parking ticket fees are nuts but you brought this on yourself as you well know. There are 19 states that don't issue a front plate but Illinois is not one of them. And most of those are in the southeast and southwest states.
Hey suburban popo, u should know Illinlois is a 2 plate state, in between your barking dog calls check the IVC 625 ILCS 5/ 3-413(a) that should help u out with your plate issue. Im guessing u have a cool car with tinted windows, tinted plate cover and fop stickers ? Like someone said earlier, we get written up if we have 1 plate on our car or if we owe tickets, so maybe stay in the burbs , gotta b other hot dog places by u and maybe take responsibility for ur no front plate, I mean u clearly chose not to put it on ur car, and u chose not to pay them, so how bout just owning it officer?

Plenty of states have only a one plate requirement. Unfortunately Illinois isn’t one of them. That being said, it’s not not wanting to ruin the look, it’s the damage it does. I have a Corvette and you don’t want to drill holes in the front bumper so you can attach the front plate

Not all the time. Did 41, been retired 14 and am the youngest of the retired i golf with. Must have been the 4PM to 4AM shift we worked
The rumor of the day is that the Kissing Bandit is also under the weather, what gives?
speaking of parkers. when you write a vehicle sticker ticket in the middle of the night on a parked car do you run the plate? after i retired from the city and moved to will county i got the ticket parked legally overnite in mt greenwood about 10 years ago. my d.l. and plates were registered in will co and i had gotten the car in florida it had never been registered in chicago. i appealed and got the usual form letter that the ticket was sustained. there is no one to talk to down there. being cheap and stubborn it took two years and extrordinary efforts to get that ticket dismissed. does that come under the title of pimpy tickets? ancient history but ive always been curious why they wrote that ticket. thank you in advance. p.s. it was the first time i parked there.
Whatever is ailing you SCC, I hope it's gone in a flash. Get well soon. Thank you immensely for the time and effort that you put into the blog.

Go ICE! Round em up and boot their illegal asses out!

I want everyone gone who is not legal to be here. Mexico, South America, Poland, Ireland or wherever. Don't have papers or you overstayed your visa--out you go. ICE is purportedly looking for 2000 people, probably the tip of the iceberg in many Chicago communities.

here, here ... GO ICE !!!!
Anyone from Europe can stay. We built this country. The others came for a better life (1965 immigration act) passed by America's enemies.
I bet this SUBURBAN “cop” is an imposter. You can’t be that dumb. Right?
To 7/13 @10:12 pm. Ed Burke and Richard M Daley are members and the late Tom Hynes, George Dunne and Tom Lyons were all members of the very restrictive Beverly Country Club. Barach Obama, due to his political pedigree, was made an ‘honorary member’ of the club and granted a waiver of initiation fees and dues. He can go play golf there anytime he wants to do so. In some respects the Beverly Country Club is more restrictive than Medinah. But then again, when would golf and politics ever mix?

Yes!I hope ICE is having a very successful Sunday! The illegals and their sympathizers are up in arms over being rid of two thousand criminals. Ridiculous!
Sick days are to be used as to not get the rest of us sick, take it and re-coop, bro.

And what about all the teachers using your Chicago address that are living in the suburbs? Is anybody investigating them all their tax money look at your text but how much money we are literally throwing out a shit system the Chicago public school system over pay teachers, students dumbest stones, and his teachers yes bitch and complain how about starting to investigate them let them see how the students are doing in the city where they teach them stop them from living in the suburbs and outside and using fake addresses how about that for a start madam mayor.

Federal law requires that if a new car is registered in a state requiring two plates the manufacturer, through the dealer, has to supply a front license plate bracket to affix the front plate to. That means the Prius and the Vette have an available front license plate bracket. Excuses are like assholes. Everyone has one and they all stink!
2:45 pm
There are over 20 waivers that teachers can apply for. Few, if any, are using fake addresses.
11:15 am
Tom Hynes was not, nor was he ever a member of Beverly Country Club. He was a “social” member at Ridge.
Daley wasn’t a member anywhere. He simply golfed as a guest of whoever was bringing him.
If you say that Barack is an honorary member, okay, to the victor go the spoils. But,it’s kind of like being granted the key to the city. Little chance he is going to be flying in to play 18 at 87th & Western when he can literally gold anywhere he wants in the world, much like Richie being able to go anywhere here.
Shmuck.
7/13/2019 02:48:00 AM
I was going to say what dozens before me said, but...nah! FYI, when you get your Illinois plates, you get 2. What did you do with the other one?
7/13/2019 06:24:00 PM
He put it on his other car.
@ 7/13/2019 02:48:00 AM
Wrong.
Mount your front plate if you're going to come to Chicago. We get that the suburbs don't always enforce that particular State Law....but you're the one that didn't Pay the Tickets when you got them.
Ya Goof.

I'll take this one, at least in regards to current DoF procedure.
Current procedure is:
IF Vehicle does NOT Have a City Sticker, SOS Check
IF Vehicle has Expired City Sticker, SOS Check
IF Unable to Run SOS Check, No Ticket...even if on Active RP Block...just ticket for the RP violation (if no Temp RP.)
We do not go visual anymore for the City Sticker Enforcement.

I don't know about the Kissing Bandit but I can assure you that a steady supply of my famous white wine spritzers keeps the Keesing Bandit hale and hearty.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Been retired 15 years and living in the beautiful Ozarks in Arkansas.
(Mountain Home )A red state that has a surplus of money, balanced budget, and VERY LOW TAXES. We have only one plate , on the back of our vehicles ,No shitheads to fuck things up and life is great....Get the Fuck out of Dodge(Move anywhere)as soon as you retire.The money you save and peace of mind is worth the move from the most corrupt City and State in the Union !
I am a suburban copper and a long time reader of SCC.
And I dont have a sgt. traffic nazi inspecting my personal vehicle in the station lot to bang me for ivc equipment and village sticker non compliance....

Maybe so but drilling holes in $2,000 bumper is not a good idea. When I park in the city I use the bracket with the suction cups but you can’t drive with that bracket or it falls off. There is no grill to attach it to
Arkansas did not work out well for Chester Hornowski.
