Chicago cop investigated over (unauthorized) lights in his personal vehicle

[Retired1]

This guy needs to find a new job. IMHO, he should never had the 2007 charges dropped and never been hired by CPD.

Wow doesnt seem like he wants to uphold the law and is a disgrace to his dept. and brothers of blue

 

[CHIEFOPS]

His arrest/driving record notwithstanding, does Illinois Vehicle Law really say exactly what's cited in the article?

 

[Andrewscounty82]

Using illegal lights and driving with a suspended license

That was the 8 year old prior, not the current inquiry.
So far as I can tell he wasn't caught using the equipment.

 

[Andrewscounty82]

but he had the equipment which according to the article is against Illinois law. Also it doesnt say he was arrested for it just put on desk duty while they investigate

But it's ok because "police cars 'looked cool'" and if a cop can't have a cool car, who can? Seriously, whoever did his background messed up if they didn't catch the 2007 by the very department he was applying to. This shows he's not the right guy for the job.

but he had the equipment which according to the article is against Illinois law.....

Which is why I asked if Illinois law actually says that or is that some reporter's interpretation
