Good Question
But you'll never get a good answer:
- Honest question, why does COPA still have videos BEYOND the storage date? Outside of on-going court cases or some murder case, why are our videos still on their site!? Why are they above the law?
We asked the same question, years ago when COPA was IPRA was OPS. The City never throws out a piece of paper, never deletes a computer file (aside from selected e-mails), and never completely closes a complaint against an Officer.
We recall a few years back, we'd get those emails from the Department telling us that certain lists of Complaints were going to be released going back years, even decades. In fact, there were CR lists that they released with our father's name on them, and at that point, he had been dead for fifteen years. What purpose could be served by releasing those files?
We also think that the FOP, perhaps under Nolan, attempted to get these files destroyed, as they were required to be under State Law after seven years for Exonerated and Not Sustained cases.
That went nowhere fast.

State Law?! LOL!!!!!!!! SCC, seriously, when will you realize that "Illinois state law" or any other law for that matter, is a highly malleable object that can be bent, twisted or just plain ignored in order to benefit the Democratic party. You know, the people that despise cops and want the absolute worst to happen to them.
Have to resurrect the dead to prove to the new generation of Marxist foot soldiers that the police have a long fact full history of misdeeds. How else to foster their agenda.
I read that the January 6th committee that spent millions investigating a protest immediately destroyed all their files we paid for. But that's OK. Right. What ever happened to the 14,000 hours of video from said protest ? Heard it was in a safe with Obama school records. Double standards much ?
Keeping the files going back only seven years was part of the contract years ago and was fought for. Lo and behold the city never abided by it and kept the files anyway. File all the grievances you want, they do what they want to do and make their own rules.
Laws what laws, we don’t see no stinking laws, says COPA spokesperson.
Immunity = Impunity
Of course that went nowhere. Who knows maybe the CR number from 1970 could be worth a finski to a lawyer? Better to having them on hand then destroyed and not bringing in any shekels.
We don't understand because we simpletons are not on the intellectual level of the geniuses running COPA and Conehead's administration. As soon as you accept that they know everything about everything, and they can do whatever they want, the sooner things will be for everyone. They have their own set of rules and everyone else has another set of rules.
The only way this will change is with a lawsuit against the city for billions of dollars for defamation filed by the victim PO's. The city and state only understand one thing, lawsuits and money. Maybe get Lovey and Lovey to file the suit, they love money!
The FOP needs to sue over this...
J-Cat??? We have a job for you, and it's a slam dunk...

ISP is going to be taking over all CPD OIS investigations. details are being worked out but the sticking points are transparency, timelines and the big one is the cost. ISP does not want to but we are going to pay them millions to do it. word will come down before the end of the year.
You can pull up any officers disciplinary record by googling CPDP on any computer. Going back to day one. Active and retired. The public and media do it all the time. Problem is, it is incomplete and highly inaccurate. Try it, if you don't believe me.
FOP and department never objected to this.

I'd choose this over COPA if I were in a shooting. At least they can legally investigate it and are trained and certified to do so.

And they won't be appearing on ESPN to give their personal opinion on things before the investigation is done.

They did object. A judge ruled the files were to be released. A short time later that website and similar ones popped up. Probably before your time or you are just oblivious.
