This is Legal?

We see a lot of challenges to it:

  • Requires the Secretary of State to administer the Intelligent Speed Assistance Program. 
  • Provides that a driver who commits 2 qualifying offenses within a 12-month period is required to enroll in the Program, and the Secretary shall suspend the driver's license or driving privileges which shall remain suspended until the driver participates in the Program for 365 days for a driver's first Program enrollment, 730 days for a driver's second Program enrollment, or 1,095 days for a driver's third or subsequent Program enrollment. 
  • Sets forth requirements for notification, application for an Intelligent Speed Assistance Permit, and installation and proof of installation of an intelligent speed assistance device. 
  • Requires a participant in the Program to pay the Secretary a Permit administration fee in an amount not to exceed $30 per month. 
  • Creates the Indigent Intelligent Speed Assistance Device Fund and the Intelligent Speed Assistance Permit Fee Fund. 
  • Establishes....

You get the idea. you get caught speeding twice and you are required to install government monitor in your car and pay $30 per month for a year ($360 for the year).

If you get a second set of violations, it's $30 per month for two years. Third time is a three year enrollment with the $30 per month "administration fee."

You can read the whole thing at the link up top. We don't see how the government gets you to forcibly enroll in a subscription series of fines for something that used to cost you about $100 for the moving violation.

Are speed camera tickets part of this? Does the Traffic School option still exist? Since police can't chase for "minor" violations, we're seriously considering putting magnets on our license plates and taking them off when driving around town.

UPDATE: this monitor tracks the car, not the person driving it? So exactly like Chicago speed and red light tickets - the owner of the registered vehicle on the hook? Great - we'll keep Grandma's name on the title (R.I.P Nana) and keep the car at our out-of-state property.

UPDATE: Amazing that these politicians think they'll be able to monitor and track vehicles without an issue, but Electronic Monitoring for violent felons is a total failure. If this worked so well, how come child molesters and gun offenders aren't tracked at all? The failure rate of GPS trackers on domestic violence offenders is rumored to be north of 80% in terms of timely notifications.

So the registered person gets the fine/device and not the person committing the violation. Hmmmmm. Prob never happen, too much to be made on hard copies for speeding. Plus the locals get no fine money and it all goes to the state

“…. and the Secretary shall suspend the driver's license or driving privileges which shall remain suspended until the driver participates in the Program for 365 days for a driver's first Program enrollment…..”. Badly worded, confusing.
As President Trump, at his State of The Union Address, pointed out the Democrat members of Congress and said , “These People Are Nuts.”
And so are our Illinois legislators!

I mean honestly what’s the point? “We’ll suspend your license if you don’t!” Ok. Cook doesn’t prosecute suspended or revoked licenses anyway. You might get an eye perk if they are suspended or revoked for DUI but they’ll still plea it down or get rid of it. Cook don’t give a shit about 95% of traffic offenses anyway.

More and more the Democrats just completely destroy everything they have obviously nothing to do. They don’t care about lawlessness protect protecting the people they come up with this nonsense and it will have GPS. They will know where you are at all times your vehicle anyway call me a tinfoil hat guy, but it’s all part of the 2030 agenda. You could look it up what they’re trying to do for 2030 all the surveillance all the monitoring. Also cash will be eliminated coming soon soon with digital money watch and see boys and girls as we go farther and farther down the rabbit hole. Rapidly the mark of the beast is getting ready to be put in the place. Just make sure you’re right with God make sure you are saved by Jesus Christ. You don’t want to be in the wrong side of this.

Look here, not there! Dealing with the waste, fraud, and abuse is their failure and the state is beyond a joke because of it.

Seeing many new speed limit signs popping up along my drive on rural roads between home and the Metra that display measured speed. Can’t help but wonder if this is the camel’s nose in the tent for this program and vehicle details can be captured as well, like flock. The funny thing with these is they will toggle the speed displayed among several vehicles nearby, both directions. Ought to be an easy path to tossing for reasonable doubt (also the “folks” exemptions).

Tackle expired plates on the road and illegal window tint. I really don’t blame the plate scofflaws in light of the high fee that fata$$ got, but it pisses me off to see it when I fork it out on time for five cars in the family that are now crazy expensive to insure (illegals and scamdemic inflation) and maintain due to IL roads that are now a lunar proving ground due to neglect. Even the local school district had a drivers ed car I saw a few months ago with a 2023 sticker!

Tinted windshield cases ought to be impounded on the spot. Wtf do they need to hide so bad that they take away eye contact from others around them?

Many communities have added license plate readers, not only to their police cars, but to the light poles at every entrance into the community. These readers go into a private company that instantly has access to the SOS records and can give the police instant information that your plates or driver's license is suspended. Big Brother is here.

OT: 5 coppers in 012 were struck by a vehicle at a street takeover / block party. I’m not sure why the bosses of this sinking ship even attempt to stop this shit , because the ONLY way to do so is to use some sort of force and god forbid that happens to a certain demographic in this city. I don’t want to sound like a hard ass , but the ONLY thing these community members understand is the use of force. That really gets their attention and makes them think twice about doing something foolish. The majority of these community members do not respect the police because both the bark and bite have been removed from this profession. Please stay safe and do your best to avoid these community members. Your life and livelihood depends on it under the rule of these progressive fucktards.

This post is exactly why people are losing trust in politics and media.

Governor Pritzker and Illinois Democrats have passed plenty of bad bills that deserve criticism. We do not need to exaggerate or misrepresent legislation to make the case.

HB4948 does NOT say that people with “two speeding tickets” will be forced to install a tracking device in their car.

The bill applies to people convicted of two or more reckless driving offenses within one year. Instead of automatically losing their license, a court may allow them to voluntarily install a speed-limiting device during probation, at their own expense.

There is no tracking provision in the bill.

You can still oppose the policy. But we should all be arguing from the same facts.

* in the ghetto it makes it so that your potential attackers have no idea who you are and can't see you and then randomly take pot shots at your car...

Retired and living here in the High Desert now. I was called a racist so many times in my career just for doing my job. I see you guys are racist just for doing your job too. And I did a lot more work than todays coppers! Anyways, moved out of state and learned that all this bullshit stops at the Illinois border. Turns out I am not even a racist! I was suffering from ghetto fatigue. I think I spent too much time in the ghetto talking to people who barely had a command of the English language and always learned to play the race card. Lots of Latinos here and I get along well with them. AA population is 1.5 percent in my town. They are good hardworking people. Chicago AA population is a different breed. Everyones cars are registered and for the most part insured. No storefront revruns, and no civil rights grifters. We have a republican Governor who is also a retired sherrif. Win-Win! And there are no toll roads here. Wide open! GTFOASAP brothers and sisters. Let the masses have the government they voted for. From here you can smile and laugh!
