Is the penalty larger if you are doing all three acts (drinking, gambling and urinating) simultaneously? Enquiring minds want to know.

Screw him. I hope one day he has to use virtually the entire police force to protect his pansy Tutu ass just to keep him alive as he ‘faithfully’ executes his job as Lord High Mayor of Corruptville.

Thanks Libloather.
...Emanuel’s plan to add six months of jail time and double the maximum fine -- to $1,000 for drinking and urinating on the public way and $400 for gambling -- for violators who fail to pay their initial fines and are no-shows at administrative hearings. Similar penalties are already in place for offenders who ignore their marijuana tickets.
IOW, police officers will stop writing tickets and/or making arrests for these violations. Problem solved.

If mayor Rahm Emanuel has a problem with drinking, gambling and urinating on the public way, then he should stop doing it.

Right. That’s what I was trying to say all along, but I wrote it this morning when I was not feeling particular well and was kind of feverish.

When I worked as a prosecutor in municipal court, it was brought home to me how some people just don’t think about the rules and lines of authors that most of us do.

Thanks for saying in a few sentences what I couldn’t in a paragraph! :)

Shakedown racket. When I passed through Chicago in 2007, they had highway signs posted that there is a $10,000 fine for hitting a highway worker. That would not prevent any further legal action or lawsuit.

Where does all the money go?

My father-in-law, while stationed in England during WWII, pulled his Jeep over to relieve himself. Got a ticket for “Urinating on the King’s Highway”.

Sounds like something Robin Hood would do. Wish we had a copy of it.

****

But Eric Holder just said that his people serve longer sentences for crimes so this won’t fly in their hoods.
