Twenty Years for Window Tints
Quick!!! Outlaw "pretextual" traffic stops!
A routine traffic stop for tinted windows turned into much more after Chicago police allegedly found a small arsenal hidden inside a pink chest in the back of a man’s car.
Cops pulled over 31-year-old Deondre Walker around noon on April 14 in the 5600 block of West Division Street after officers noticed his 2017 Chevy Malibu had heavy window tints. As officers approached the vehicle, they allegedly spotted an open bag of cannabis sitting in the driver’s door panel, which led them to conduct a narcotics search of the vehicle, a CPD report said.
Gasp! An open bag of weed over a tinted window stop! The horror!
- Inside a pink chest in the cargo area, police say they discovered four loaded firearms: a sawed-off Mossberg 12-gauge shotgun, a Taurus .44 Magnum revolver, a Glock 21 pistol fitted with a 31-round extended magazine and a full-auto switch that police say made it capable of firing like a machine gun, and an Anderson AM-15 AR-15 rifle loaded with a 30-round magazine and equipped with a brass catcher designed to collect expended shell casings. Investigators say the rifle’s serial number had been defaced.
Gee:
- sawed off shotgun - Fed charge
- Glock switch - Fed charge?
- defaced serial number - Fed charge
Oh, and his FOID card was revoked....for being a convicted gun felon.
Because of this "pretextual" stop, a repeat felon is looking at twenty or more years Federal time for having tinted windows is what democrats will tell you.
Or maybe it was just good police work?

"Or maybe it was just good police work?"
They don't want you doing police work, good or otherwise. They want you to be a mobile report taker; reactionary not proactive. That's one of the goals of eliminating "proactive time," as they called it in that staffing report. They use the word "proactive" as a pejorative.
Fewer black & brown people getting locked up is the ultimate goal.
Michael Madigan Got off easy. He deserves a lot more punishment.
Way to go!!! Keep doing this. Not every driver with the illegal tint is an asshole, but almost every red light runner I see when waiting for crosswalks has dark tint on the front windows, bonus for the windshield. Hopefully dude has current license, registration, insurance, and city sticker!
Great police work officers!
I get what your saying but come on now. You know that cars are stopped for things solely with the intention to search the car and stopping certain makes models way more than others. I'm not saying everyone does this but its a thing that we have to at least acknowledge
What would governor Pritzker say?
but dee-on-drey was on his way to st sabina for gun turn in day, he was gonna buy his family some milk and bread with the money the city would give him for those guns
Taking guns away from the wrong tribe is raycyst.
Because the criminals make it easy for us. Liberals make it difficult for us.
This is what traffic stop of the month looks like. Great job rangers!
Nice try PBS. Go troll somewhere else pussy!
That is great police work. That's how we used to do things..
Yes please! Especially in 010. Mostly great drivers there, except for the 10% gangbanging pricks who always have midnight tints.
Stopping a Dodge Charger all day. It’s like dealerships will ONLY sell those to assholes.
STFU crybaby lib troll
Who cares what any Demonrat says? 😁
And that comes under the heading of Good Police Work.
I’m guessing you are not a police officer and if you are you’re certainly a lame one
So don’t give the police a reason to pull you over. Windshield tint is illegal.
OK. Consider it acknowledged.
"Is this the way to the buffet line? Oh yeah, don't be stopping random cars because ...... racist or something. Now leave me alone and let me eat lunch."
Hence pretext stop genius!
Find pc and stop and further investigation.
If it's a legal & justifiable stop, what's the issue?
You sound like a real dog!
A 2017 Chevy Malibu? How did the officer(s) know it wasn't a widower, uncle Arthur, with alzheimer's and a tinted window authorization for his dead wife, making his weekly run to Walgreen's?
That’s called good police work dumbass
Driving is a privilege not a right. Fix the violations and obey the Ivc
Don’t have weed / alcohol in the car
And this won’t happen. Imagine that
Clown
I've been stopped. No problem. Do what the Officer says. Keep both hands on the wheel. Easy as pie. I'm still here. Still living. (No front plate)
Pritzker's car - "Sir, you have two flat tires!"
"Naw, the Governor is in the back seat!"
Only thing better would be if he wasn't wearing a seatbelt.....
A reminder-that tinted glass law was put in place for law enforcements safety.
Excellent pinch, great job to the Arresting Officers!
My only intent when stopping a car for traffic is PC/RAS for a vehicle search or hope driver has a warrant/can connect to a crime that just occurred. I don’t do traffic to write tickets. If more officers policed this way the world would be a better place. And how lucky is the average law abiding citizen that what stopped by me, they get their name checked and released with a verbal warning in less then 3 mins
Why?
Make me a sammich plebe....
You are right.
Gun Control Act of 1968 ( codified as 18 USC 922, et seq.,) makes “ Felon in Possession a Federal Felony.
Yea, its called proactive policing and look what it accomplished.
The Supreme Court has ruled on pretextual stop. If officers have legal reason to stop and a legal reason to search, what more do you want?
Or how about try this on for size: I don’t have my car windows tinted to 90%, music blaring through the closed windows, driving like an asshole, casing the streets like Satan patrolling the Garden of Eden, and……THE POLICE LEAVE ME ALONE!!! Wow. The social contract works again. Good job and God bless the police.
Funny and Predictable responses. You guys can't even acknowledge we have some shady people on the Job. Why? I imagine the people most upset are the Officers who engage in this. Truth hurts I guess. You have to pull over 25 cars a day to get a gun. You had to pull everyone out the car on every stop. Lazy and unimaginative ......
Typical can’t acknowledge that can stop a car for one violation for the purpose of furthering investigation, called police work. Can’t do it if you are afraid to do stops.
