Five Times

So this guy is on the news whining about getting pulled over by CPD:

  • Chicago police officers have pulled over Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability President Anthony Driver, Jr., five times in less than a year, even as he works to craft new rules that would limit the ability of officers to make certain kinds of stops.

Turns out he's the head of one of the forty "oversight" agencies that are looking to jam up cops. Why would officers pick on this guy of all people?

  • Driver told WTTW News officers stopped him twice for having an expired license registration sticker and once on suspicion of making an unsafe lane change. Driver said officers refused to give him a reason for the other two stops. Driver was not ticketed during any of the stops, he said.

Oh. So in 60% of the stops, Driver was driving unsafely or driving an improperly licensed vehicle - all legit reasons. And using their discretion as authorized by State Law, they didn't ticket him for that 60%. The other 40% of the time, they didn't ticket him either, but he claims that they didn't tell him why he got pulled over.

Seems ungrateful that he's batting 100%, but this is exactly why we've been suggesting tickets get written 100% of the time - let a judge sort it out.

Good thing they didn't run his name through the PPP fraud site though:

That might have been embarrassing.

He’s committing traffic violations on purpose to get pulled over and then crying wolf to the media that police are profiling him.

Wow! Two "sole proprietorships" in a single, 1000 square foot bungalow, residential house in one of Chicago's more impoverished neighborhoods. That $40K loan could pay half the price it sold for in 2011. What kind of "Sales Financing" business did they run? Are they still in business?

“ Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability” From: Chicago.gov

“……….. . In August of this year, Anthony was appointed as a Civilian Oversight Commissioner for the City of Chicago, and subsequently selected as president of the Commission. Using a combination of skills and relationships developed as a lobbyist and strategist, Anthony has successfully secured over $100 million in federal, state, and municipal funds to be redirected to support marginalized and disinvested communities. He has worked to successfully build bridges between residents and the local, state, and federal officials elected to serve them, as well as to increase African American voter turnout. …….”

The question to be asked is where did the over 100 million dollars in federal, state & city funds go? What groups got the money and why. They don’t mention that. Where would this be listed. Remember those grants/funds that he is redirecting was once your money that you paid into taxes. What benefits do you receive?

Have you ever seen this guy in person? If you want to be successful in any endeavor you must dress for success? This is another guy wearing defund
t-shirts under a sport coat to executive meetings? Been standing next to this guy and had to step away, just to catch my breath? I think he is doing this to get persons to stay away from him?
But then he is out driving an unregistered vehicle and making traffic violation while operating the vehicle? Didn’t we just have a Mayors aid get arrested for open warrant while driving vehicle with expired or revoked plates?
It seems that the “new department” should not start with outside hires that are actively trying to incite police interactions? And claim they feel like a child, being stopped by the police?

As most of us true city employees know……if the plates are up to date, the vehicle has a current city sticker, and the insurance is current. And I stop drawing attention to myself while driving like a fool?
I will not have the occasion to be pulled over by any law enforcement agency?
But I guess this does not get me interviewed by the media. Does it?
Sorry but it sounds like this guy is fishing to get stopped by police?

The Biden pardons are intended to bookend Hunter's broad "known and unknown crimes" pardon, in effort to make public perception of Hunter's crimes as proportional to other pardoned crimes.

Some members of the mayor’s Progressive Caucus, including Alds. Rossana Rodriguez Sanchez, Jessie Fuentes and Angela Clay, were refusing to play along by passing a budget balanced with the help of a $68.5 million property tax and a slew of other taxes.

He reflects on the challenges facing the Chicago Police Department under Superintendent Larry Snelling, emphasizing the need for improvements in response times, workforce allocation, and handling traffic stops. The conversation also touches on internal investigations at the Civilian Office of Police Accountability, the impact of public criticism on police personnel, and the evolving relationship between Chicago's city council and Mayor Brandon Johnson.

Worked with a guy in 14 that stopped cars for traffic and would not write any tickets. After the fourth stop I approached the driver and asked for his license after dummy gave it back to him. I wrote the ticket,. Get back in car and guy is all pissed off. Says “it was my stop, I decide if he gets the ticket”. Told him to fuck off. Told him to not stop any cars if he didn’t plan on taking enforcement action. He said he was going home. He cried to the boss and dropped a slip for the last couple hours. I would say nowadays to not even stop the damn car. If you do, write the damn ticket.
