How Bad is Crimesha's Office?

So bad, that a guy, caught impersonating the police on multiple occasions, acted as his own lawyer in court the other day....and beat a (supposedly) college educated litigator....AGAIN!

  • Robert Ellis, once again accused of impersonating a police officer, has won another big legal victory over the Cook County state’s attorney’s office.

    Acting as his own lawyer, Ellis successfully argued that Cook County Circuit Judge Carol Howard should toss out his arrest and the evidence against him in a 2021 felony police-impersonation case accusing him of posing as a cop outside Guaranteed Rate Field after a White Sox game. Howard argued that the Chicago Police Department didn’t have probable cause to stop him.

    Earlier this year, Ellis, 66, got Howard to throw out the evidence in a separate, 2018 fake-cop case, which prosecutors later dismissed. In that case, he’d been accused of posing as an official with Kankakee County’s Pembroke Township police department, even though there’s no such department, according to prosecutors.

The judge bears a bit of the blame here, too. But we assume she went to college and got some sort of degree, too.

The cops did an excellent job supporting their Reasonable Articulable Suspicion:

  • an illegally parked car with municipal plates
  • the car is a Mercury sedan, not a Ford
  • the ID presented looked like it was run off a copier
  • a quick internet search revealed no such police force in existence
  • the search also revealed a previous arrest for impersonation

And the judge let him go with an admonishment of "You have to stop doing that." This is his third arrest for pretending to be a cop.

Vote "No" on all judges, every single time.
