One must be circumspect when dealing with Chicago’s finest. Traditionally, they - shall we say - “have had a lot of latitude” when carrying out their duties!
In my travels throughout the country, and last April I drove from Seattle to Jacksonville-FL, I have never been stopped anywhere falsely. Chicago cops are the most crooked, anywhere! But I survived 37 years there with only 4 or 5 tickets. Many times I had to spend half a day in traffic court and then attend a “traffic education school” to avoid paying the fine.
