Hiding Criminal Records
So not only is Fata$$'s SAFE-T Act releasing criminals back onto the streets at an alarming rate, now offenders will be able to hide their criminal tendencies and past records:
Just the other day, a man was beaten with a metal pipe in Chicago's loop by Piere Thorne, a career criminal with 57 prior arrests. The victim, an unidentified man, suffered a bleeding head wound, lost teeth, andsuffered facial and jaw fractures as well as cuts to his face.
Thanks to Illinois' ridiculous pro-criminal policies, Thorne will not spend a day behind bars for this attack. Late last year, career criminal Lawrence Reed set a 26-year-old woman on fire on Chicago's Blue Line. Reed had anywhere from 22 to 49 prior arrests, according to various media reports. He was later charged in conjunction with an arson at Chicago City Hall that predated his attack on the woman.
But Democrats haven't met a criminal they won't go to the mattresses for, and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker is no exception.
He's just signed the "Clean Slate Act" which would seal criminal records every six months. That way, we'll never know how many dozens of arrests criminals in Chicago have when they rob, maim, or murder more innocent citizens.
There are a couple exceptions that democrats are hanging their hats on:
- sexual violence against minors,
- DUIs,
- reckless driving,
- serious violent crime
But there is no mechanism for those who plead violent crimes down from higher charges. How many times have we seen particularly Aggravated Batteries pled down to Simple Battery for whatever reason? We were the victim in quite a few of those types of incidents over our careers.
Do you think an employer would like to know if an applicant has a habit of attacking police? Or a landlord might like to know if someone with an unhealthy interest in property damage would make a good tenant?
But now, you won't know what you're hiring or who you're renting to.

Sex Assaults and Abuse also often pled down to Simple Battery. So a repeat fondler will likely be protected under this. Pritzker is a f’n useless pr!c$. Where is the fat pig lately? Seems to be keeping a low profile.
The pols complain about lack of housing, then they do this. No one in their right mind will be a landlord if they can't vet the tenants beforehand. Used to be DoB offered a free class for landlords which included instruction on how to check the background of would be tenants. Guess that's illegal now, too.
It’s just a way for democrats to hide the stats on consequences of their failed policies, leniency & the SAFE-T Act from the media who will report on it (CWB locally) .
Nice! Now everyone go out and put your life on the line trying to catch criminals. Because that is what Police do! That is the job.
What do you do when the administration and politicians you work for don’t respect your commitment or the job you do?
Remember it’s only a job in the end, nothing more, nothing less. The quicker you understand this the better you will be. I pray for everyone tonight and hope everyone makes it to retirement.

The Democrat’s protect criminals. Answer your calls and go home to your family. They have the department they want.
Make sure to cross your T’s and dot your I’s. It’s all legit.
Don’t get upset. Just do the best you can. Handle everything with all of this in mind. Foot chases and car chases should be a no brainer.
Yeah no.bail is only supposed to apply to nonviolent offenders. We see how that was a lie. So do we really think this will work like they claim.
Can we get a description of these people so we know who to be on the lookout for when walking downtown?
getting your arrest records taken care of will be done with dei priorities
I assume this means they also want to automatically seal CCRs after six months?
Dems really are unbelievable. Just days ago there was an article with a new link to a new website that lists all officer’s complaints back to 2000. That’s over 25 years. Some officers are active, some retired and some are dead. Most complaints are “unfounded or not sustained” but that doesn’t stop them from including this nonsense on their website. Now Pritzker just signed a bill that will allow for criminal to have their cases where they were found “guilty” wiped from their record so no one will know just how dangerous they are and how the system has failed the citizens of Illinois. ALWAYS REMEMBER, POLICE ARE THE PROBLEM, NOT THE. CRIMINALS! And the Democrats hate the police and love the criminals. Unfrickenbelievable!
This city and state is FUBAR thank a democRAT
Police officers do not get the same privilege as criminals. The Sonya Massey Act ( Senate Bill 1953 ) took effect on 1Jan26.
Every time the legislature convenes in Springfield some bill emerges that makes like easier for criminals.
Every...single...time...
Can’t wait for a day in court where officers cr are longer than rap sheet.
They already dismiss everything. How many times he we seen a rap sheet with 50 plus arrests and no convictions, I guess it’s just good odds.
The constant liberal refrain over the years is that the entire criminal justice system is racist and unfair to black men, arresting and convicting and incarcerating black men far more than whites and for crimes that whites would not be prosecuted for. I think this is the real reason for the safety act and the fact that Illinois Prison system has an automatic 50% reduction in sentence on day one for good behavior : less black men in prison as end result.
More Jelly Belly Pigster pandering to the unworthy.
I ain't no Fortunate Son!
Democratic Illinois the priority is to protect the criminal !
You just figured this out now?
Look at what they've been doing in education for years! Bonus points, test answers and cheating still couldn't bring up their test scores.
Now they're trying to make everyone else just as dumb by cancelling honors classes and hiring stupid teachers.
Reckless drving? But not Agg Battery or a list of many other crimes much worse than reckless driving.
upfront Rent just one from two months to 6 months, deposit just tripled.
if the landlord has to take on more risk they need to charge a premium for that...
Why are DUI's still available to be seen, is it because white people hold the majority of DUI's, just wondering.
I only rent to police or fire. I get my rent on time and have no problems.
That is why CCL is the self-cleaning oven of society.
No different than CPD.. take a look at all the names who ever have been or are currently detailed to call back that have CB and IR numbers.
So if we look at a rap sheet it will only go back 6 months?
Sad day to be the police.
That’s what they wanted.
It isn’t worth investing in Chicago. Get property in Indiana.
Go to your jobs and go home.
It’s all a scam and the joke is all on the injured officers working hard.
Some crimes are at 100 percent and others are at 85 percent depending upon the class of felony not every inmate gets the 50 percent off for good behavior
Hell, those are plead down by the reporting officers/sergeants not wanting to make notifications on scene.
I’ve never been the police; I am a hiring manager in cyber and my team is frequently exposed to highly sensitive customer data. A crystal clear criminal record is an absolute requirement for this. I don’t know how I could ever hire an Illinois resident into a role like this when this law is in effect.
Done. Bosses are equivalent to ancient task masters. No one has your back. It is just a job.
That will never happen. They rather the victim feel uncomfortable.
It is a big joke on us and on the public.
Dems do, because their friends and family.
Probably.
So if I become a white color criminal and commit fraud -a non-volent crime- get caught, arrested and convicted I then run for public office in Illinois after my 6 months?
Maybe true, 01:23:49 for some, but I’ve seen good cases with actual scumbags get off with a simple battery.
This sucks, but the ability to seal these records has been law for a few years. What this does is automate it. So the “community” members who are too stupid or lazy, or let’s face it — too illiterate from CPS edumacation — to submit the request on their own can have the guvment do it automatically for them.
