Fun Survey

The CCPSA has a survey up:

• Traffic Stops Policy Feedback

   
  Under city ordinance, the Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability (CCPSA) collaborates with the Chicago Police Department (CPD) to create and review departmental policies. CPD policies take effect after receiving approval from CCPSA's Commission.
  
  CPD and CCPSA are currently revising policy on how and when officers conduct traffic stops, including how officers engage with the public during these interactions. When developing traffic stop policy, CCPSA is considering communities’ experience and perceptions, public safety, enforcing the law, preventing crime, and fairness when developing policy with CPD. To do this, it is critical to gather input from community members like yourself and police officers.

And whoa baby....what a survey it is.

We aren't sure if there are any limits - you don't have to register anything, and if there's an IP address restriction, we haven't found it yet. There are a bunch of questions and a free-form section to enter in anything that strikes your fancy. So far we've answered posing as a liberal north shore voter, a west side dope dealer, a south side shooter, an illegal Venezuelan and an alien from Mars. We suppose you could use all sorts of objectionable language and characterizations as you wish.

And the best part is, someone from the government has to read and log all the responses - it's in the law after all. If they're going to waste our tax money with this crap, the least we can do is get a laugh out of it. Head to that link up top and have some fun - about ten questions and three minutes to finish it all.
