Someone understands Chicago. Perhaps in another city, you buy a good lawyer. In Chicago, you first connect with your alderman, and then he points you to the Mouth that will let you walk.
Back when, in Chicago Traffic Court, it was a lawyer named Silver, that you paid to get a ride to the front of the line, and he would plead you not guilty, and 30 seconds later you were out the door with a "Go forth and sin no more..."
I can't be the only adult in the US that knows this.
