Zero Enforcement Means.....
Anyone know when this became legal?
Riding ATVs on the sidewalk with a child under the age of ten on your lap. It looks like a lot of fun.Wait...what? This isn't legal?
But it's happening all over the Hyde Park neighborhood in broad daylight.
Oh....Hyde Park. They probably voted for it.
Carry on.

I wanna see them riding around that huge port-a-potty lookin thing that's about to open
Nah, it’s all over the city. Mt. Greenwood is no different except they’re also riding golf carts!
Well as a resident of Mt. Greenwood or as I call it "Little Appalachia" I have not seen an actual car go down my street in weeks. But what I have seen is ATV's, dirt bikes, go karts, skooters, mini motorcycles, and golf carts. And yes some with infants riding on them. I have lived here 23 of my 28yrs on the job and the neighborhood is not what it was. Its become hillrod nation with people that have zero respect for their neighbors. I'm checking out of the job and the City in about 4 more weeks. I could give 2 shits about Chicago or what its future holds. Maybe they can organize purges.
They're paid by the Obama trashcan to promote fliers...
A wise old timer once told me…
“Kid, it ain’t all of them. But it’s ALWAYS them”.
Who cares...I've never seen a copper pull over an asshole bicyclist and write an ANOV either. 0 consequences: atv, electric scooter, electric bike, regular bike. Maybe the privatized ticket writers could enforce these things.. but that doesn't fit the skin color agenda or the "Green" transportation agenda
They will make special concrete lanes for those people
Just like the geniuses who think they can stop street racing by sending officers with little stop sticks, how would you stop this guy and not get in trouble with the department, either through general/special orders, legal/training bulletins, or get sued if he gets hurt as you stop his 4 wheeler with some type of force?
This is going on everywhere.
Hyde park voted for everything they are getting. And some rumblings that they ain’t happy
See even the dumbest most stubborn hard nosed libs feel it in their wallets. That’s the only way, everything else is emotional politics to them .
Word is Snelling is extremely upset about being called out about never showing up or taking charge at Teen Takevers. He and Stevens will be running the upcoming ones this weekend. Should be interesting.
Rules are for thee not for me
47th and archer yesterday.
I was like, where is a cop when you need one 🤣🤣
Hyde Park did vote for this and if you stop them every white liberal will have their phone out calling you a racist.
This is the same as having a FOID gives you permission to carry anywhere. There are no rules or punishment for some.
Ain't got no job, has link, snap and section 8 but buys a 4 wheeler, weed, cars and liquor. And 300 dollar jeans. Who are the suckers? Him or us for paying for all this shit.
We had a group in our neighborhood that would run up and down the sidewalks. Calling in seemed futile as they would disappear 5 minutes before the PD arrived. Every. Single. Time. They had to have someone listening to the scanner.
think i can put a mower deck on that fucker?
We have become tribal. Some more than others. It's not going to end well.
it's ok when 1 of those do it,, the alderpeople/folks only want police enforcement when it's the others in society
Illinois has a helmet law....
It’s just part of the culture. Leave these poor people alone.
It is everywhere and is annoying as hell to hear these assholes up and down the street. But the minute you try and stop them them they take off and if something happens it’s your fault. So I leave in less then a year so what I do is sit by my car and when I see them coming I toss a handful of roofing nails in the street and hopefully they get a bunch in their tires.
These animals have seen doing this since the 80s.
By the way, Hyde Parker’s are the biggest whiners in the city.
I invite everyone to search YouTube for "Opie and the Spoiled Kid." Deputy Fife stops a bratty kid for riding on the sidewalk, and they impound his bike. It's an episode every parents should watch and learn from.
Rules don't apply to Certain "Members" of a community.
Funny how they all complain about having no money , having no jobs, etc but they could afford an atv? Im sure he's spending the child's govt checks to pay for it.
In the Democratic/Socialist city of Chitcongo that is a gas powered mobility device used to transport a developmentally disabled child. A sidewalk is allowed for that purpose......;)
FOID is not permission to carry anywhere except in your house, dummy
Division Street every Friday
Was thinking how raycist just taking the pic is.
If the city would just make some suv's and trailers available, sure as gunfire on a Friday night these folks would take their atvs to outlying parks.
Side note, got to love the brother's brand loyalty.
Best thing that I ever did was sell my house in Mt. Greenwood and move to a nice quiet suburb, although I have some nostalgia for my time living in Chicago. Years ago it was a great place to live.
Morons do it in my FL sub-division too. Add riding lawn mowers too. ‘Murica!
LMAO!
Not we, just some.
In Mt. Greenwood golf carts are being used to pick up kids after school at Mt. Greenwood school.
So I called the 23rd ward alderman's office and emailed them. They said CALL THE POLICE to report it. My question is this. When that kid or whatnot hits a car or a car hits them because they DO NOT stop and follow the rules of the road, who is at fault. I know they are illegal, but at least teach your kids to stop and look both ways. When the kid dies or is massively injured, it seems that it will never be their fault. We all know that the cops have better things to do and the ATV, Golf Cart call will be out in the queue for a long time if not an hour. Love the 8th Dist coppers but, like I said, I do not want to see some innocent civilian on the hook for a death of a kid on a motorized toy.
About fucking time
He's not taking that kid for a ride, that's his protection. Police won't do anything because if the kid gets hurt the city gets sued. Plus he's probably dealing and most likely is packing. It's a sure fire way to avoid the law.
This has been possibly the biggest problem facing the police dept lately and he has never shown up at a single one. If you were running the dept, shouldn’t you be there? Why has it taken this long for him to show up and, you know, actually take charge of the dept he’s supposed to be leading.
I think we have found the official poster child's for "jus' fun'in"
Hyde Park? Too busy worrying their AWFL credentials will go up in smoke if they dare call police, too afraid of physical harm if complaining directly at the ATV driver on sidewalk.
If they crashed and the child got hurt there would be outrage at the police, if the police tried to stop them there would be outrage fii pi r racial profiling. Yep that’s who runs things.
Ohhh that’s good.
Waller was always out there when he was acting Supe
We have always been tribal. What you’re noticing is that you’ve never been happier to be on the side you’re on. I agree, this will eventually turn violent when the tribes have had enough. The problem today is our tribe has been invaded. There are sleeper cells in every single neighborhood of the city. Stay aware.
I live in the south loop where these and dirt bikes go right down Michigan avenue
Retired and moved out to the Southwest. Living in a small rural town and this is a common occurence. Golf carts and Side X Sides are a regular form of transportation. Old Duffers ride from their houses to the golf courses. People do their grocery shopping in them around here. Small kids about 5 years old and up ride dirt bikes in the street out here. Its no big deal. I can see how it is an accident waiting to occur in the city though. Let it happen and give them a Darwin award and a long form arrest for child endangerment. Good thing they are cracking down on E-Bikes all over the country though, right?
I dont know? Hurl a Yeti cooler at him?
it's about fucking time...
llinois does not have a motorcycle helmet law, meaning motorcyclists and passengers of any age are not required to wear helmets while riding.
This has been harkening for years. Move on.
"A wise old timer once told me…
“Kid, it ain’t all of them. But it’s ALWAYS them”. "
Oh that is mine now! I am using that line EUGELY.
no laws about riding a motor vehicle on a sidewalk.
And don't forget to thank to the legal profession's cultivation of a class of people who willfully disregard civilized behavior and violate laws on a daily basis without fear and when discovered, are provided with legal assistance abrogating all societal accountability. Why not commit crime and unreasonable reckless acts taking that chance given some lawyer can get you paid handsomely if the opportunity arises. And get paid even if you are in the commission of a crime, disregarding law or not playing by the society's rules.
There would be an outrage against the police if the kid got killed.
The "lifestyle" ......
Doesn’t he have exempts to take care of that?
It's been going on in Garfield Ridge too. More than likely P.O. and Fireman's kids whose parents will complain when they are stopped. It is also extremely dangerous considering the way that the hillrods everywhere fly through stop signs in their huge, diesel, lifted trucks notifying everyone of their genitalia related inferiority. By the way, the vast majority of these trucks have never seen a toolbox in the bed, nor pulled a trailer. Just saying.
red light , speed cameras are not for safety, it's for raising money. Shot spotter is for safety,doesn't bring in money. Want real safety, ticket bicycle, scooter riders that blow stop signs, ride on sidewalks, on park district property or without front or rear lights.
ride it like you stole it,,,,, because he probably did
I hope you're not serious
Let municipal ordinances and common sense provide decision-making guidance and CPD response measures.

Very Wise person.
Who culture? Not minds.
Let them kill themselves. Darwinism.
Wait until they start walking into your home, sitting down on the couch, watching tv and you can’t do anything because the door was not locked and it was not posted. If your dog bites one of them, guess who’s in trouble. It’s coming.
Did you say POOR. When did they start giving away ATVs.
priveledge I guess
As a kid it was a game of cat and mouse trying to get away from the popo . Normal behavior now the fun and games bees over
When dude wipes out and kills his toddler because he saw the Police and got scared, they will fault the police for driving a blue n white and blame the racist, white supremacy laws. Nothing to see here. Move along. DBEL
Stopping her would require a pretextual stop…. and I was told by those in the know that pretextual stops are now frowned upon. 19p
Just remember there is a New York police officer facing jail time for attempting to stop one of these goofs by throwing a water cooler at him. Just make the appropriate report for the run down citizens until the department and city give you direction and will have your back. (I know that will never happen)

You racists!!! A black man is having quality time with a black yut doing a manly activity. You all condemn him. The biggest problem in the black community is lack of male roll models. This man steps up and you knock him down!
😉
Maybe there, not here in NWI
I’ve worked plenty of teen trends and here’s how it goes: let the younglins run wild for hours. Threaten curfew and wait. Now they’re rushing into stores. Threaten curfew (2nd warning) and wait. Now they’re jumping and twerking on cars. Threaten curfew (this time the wagon will show up!! Real serious scare tactic). Younglins don’t give a damn and continue wildin. Finally 3 hours later the police are allowed to start grabbing people and arresting/curfew violations.
What’s the threshold or acceptable amount of damage they can do before the police bosses call it. What a joke
I always get a kick out of this. “Why don’t you guys do something?!” Because when that shitbird fights us and we use force you’ll be crying the blues “he was just riding his atv that was excessive raycis force”
Wasn’t too long ago the toothless denizens of the Ville would ride horses goats donkeys down the street to Beatrice’s right mr south side
Quite a sight to behold
The US is the only country in the world where poor people have massive flatscreen TV's, I phones, and brand new SUV's. I guess they are also adding off road quads to the list for unfortunate peoples.
Zero enforcement because traffic court has zero conviction.

when i came on over 30 years ago the best thing in did was buy in edison park
Well they will be searching for video a long time
Meanwhile it will be my word against the dead guy’s
Probably Stolen!!!
There is no helmet law here. Wannabe's and weekend warrior cosplay bikers are always wearing helmets because they are scared. You see less hardcore riders today than you used to. If I was going on the highway, I wore a helmet. If I was just riding to the hardware store or out for a ride around the airport, I was in jeans/t-shirt/sunglasses and high tops. I have a neighbor that put his helmet on to ride around the block and park in the garage. He never went over 15 mph. It's all about freedom boys...You either claim it or you dont have it. My exhaust pipes were obnoxiously loud too! lol!
Awww...Office...I was just goin to da corner store. Hell no, I aint got no license. I aint got any insurance either!
This has white liberal woman written all over it.
Wasn't there a thug offduty PO from 019 who road an ATV on a public park and engaged 024 POs in a pursuit that ended in his demise?
Steven’s? When she was hiding during the Floyd riots. O’Shea had to run the whole show.
It’s all those firemens and city workers driving around the GR.
Yep
My interaction with this bad parenting father riding his unlicensed ATV with ( I think) his young son , it was the same as the episode of the Andy Griffith show you referenced .
I tried to do the same as Sheriff Andy Taylor when I told the ATV driver on our sidewalk that he was wrong and that he was endangering the life of the young boy on his lap .
The driver made some comments that I must be a north sider and I responded that I was a 5th generation South Sider with a Hyde Park street named after one of my ancestors .
I feel I got the better of the exchange as he and the small boy drove West away from East Hyde Park
JR
Fuck these assholes when they crash there illegal, unlicensed 4 wheeler, dirt bike and are lying there bleeding you didn’t see nothing, just keep on going don’t get involved they will take care of their own, or not in either cass who really give a fuck !
And if the po were to approach “them” about the atv on the sidewalk “them” would turn it into a nuclear war with the yelling, catterwalling and race-bating. You can’t win with “them."
I'm not the police, but what I am is an old man. An old man who remembered the sixties & seventies when cops & their stations were open season. Times changed (B. F-ing S) but the policemen still went to work because it was not the individual officer who wasn't at risk. It was the profession. Now, it's still not the "individual" officer it's the whole damn profession. This picture is not legal in a great many ways as your article states. What has changed is the animals of the world mostly a certain "group" but they are not alone. If an officer called me & said my child was misbehaving in front of him I would beat his ass. But nowadays the friggin parents will be yelling things at that officer that would make a sailor blush. No one takes care of their kids anymore the little punks are killing at age 11-12 etc. have police records by 13 & in a jail by 14-15. They are getting worse & worse. No manners, no respect, no integrity & no intelligence. We couldn't field an Army if there was a draft all the little bastards are too fat & too stupid. No one cares. You know what we need to find a way to make them scared of the consequences. A kid stabs another kid & kills him in Texas & what happened right away it was a race thing. But the black kid killed the white kid..... how is that racist towards the black kid?? Is killing whity racist now?? NO it isn't but if we can take away from reality maybe the black kid gets off. $600,000 in go fund me for the criminal??? WTF I am happy & sad. Happy I'll be dead soon & sadly I won't be able to contribute to the race war that seems inevitable. In fact I just read this & cut off my finger because it seems my nose picking finger is racist!! Be safe officers please. I can & will protect myself you officers do the same. God bless
So over the golf carts and kids on scooters in the streets of Mt. Greenwood. Somebody is going to get killed. So many coppers driving their kids back and forth from the park. And the kids driving these things is insane. It’s still a DUI on a golf cart but they live in 022 and nobody is going to do anything about it.

Out here in the suburbs it’s the same crap. ATV’s, electric scooters, electric bikes, and so on. No enforcement and I don’t really blame them. The perpetually aggrieved will be squealing about enforcement and not letting people do what they want.
And if they flee you can’t chase them and they know it!!!
A few years ago (5-10), the communerty was complaining that bicycle enforcement via ANOV was unfairly targeting their neighborhoods. Anyone else remember this?
Had a couple that were riding on one in my town that bought the farm a couple months ago. Found an unmovable object to drive into. Oh well.
You will see this all over the country, big cities and small towns now.
So, you don't do shit, throw nails in the street for them to hit, then leave the nails there for me to fuck my tires up? You. my man , are a fucking moron, and can't be gone soon enough.
yup
LOL, Never call the AlderCreature..they will do Nothing and thats the usual answer...call Police.
Don't forget multiple pairs of $150+ gym shoes
with a matching Yamaha jacket. Figures.
And the matching jacket!
They regularly use the lakefront trail around the science museum.
The cure for this is a 1" steel cable stretched tree to tree neck height across the road at night.
He was a thug on / off duty.
He won a stupid price because of it.
Issue 5 tickets, city counsel will dismiss 4 and have the offender pay the fine / court fees for one ticket and get supervision for 6 months.
No real punishment for democrat voters.
Someone is going to be run down by one of those things. Obviously, some racist got in their way.
Not me . I personally confronted this ATV sidewalk driver endangering the life of his small son on his lap .
I get this street courage from my sainted mom who repeatedly confronted street criminals here in Hyde Park Chicago
All he doin' is reading the sign in the background - "Ask Us About Stem Cells."

It's the same in Garfield Ridge. The city workers and their kids ride around on dirt bikes, ATVs and golf carts.
It happens in Bridgeport and Canaryville too. In face the officer owner shuttled other officers around Armour Park during a 9th district.
Yes, the civil war is on the horizon. Don’t worry, the moral side with win. That side will be more ruthless to restore greatness to America.
Then move to a shittier neighborhood & report back idiot
It’s just part of the culture. Leave these poor people alone.

Before you open your mouth again, I’ve seen the hilbillies in Mt Greenwood and Canaryville do the same thing.
Ah, you must be the owner of one said golf cart, hilljack.
