Close the Courts?

This is an interesting rumor from a long time reader:
  • Meanwhile, reliable sources are saying Preckwinkle will close all misdemeanor courts in the City and combine them into suburban courthouses. No more Belmont and Western, Harrison and Kedzie, etc. If this occurs, CPD officers will not make misdemeanor arrests, and if possible they will just issue citations. One hour and a half round trip travel time, is not worth it to appear in court.
No Branch Courts? This sounds like a Prickwrinkle game of chicken to force some budget issues. Closing Branch Courts would eliminate numerous judge spots, countless sheriffs in court, transport personnel, etc. Probably upwards of fifty people per location plus support personnel in other places.

Frankly, we like it. Painless to taxpayers, ball breaking to Dart, and pretty much less work for CPD, too, because arrests are going to crater overnight. Go for it Toni! People will be buying a lot of personal defense ammo - out of county though.

Seriously??? Tact boy wonders will make just as many misdemeanor arrests now as they will when branch courts close. These strokes will do anything to appease their supervisors, wear jeans and avoid midnights including risking their freedom and bank accounts

Shit, the last time I went to traffic court it was such a clusterfuck that I never returned. Very punitive. I Have not since seen a violation worth citing.

Misdemeanor court is ridiculous anyways. How many BFSOL’s, complaining witnesses not in court, and outright dismissals happen over and over and over? The shoplifter from Jewel where the complainants never show is a total waste of time and manpower. No repercussions, no accountability, no consequences?? No need.

And when I posted that, the key point was this: A reduction in arrests, would mean Less, way less, Peoples and Folks of Color incarcerated! This Gift to Da Community, may well mean enough votes to carry Toni for another term! After all, she is "Da Shuga Queen"! Baby "G"

Hell, arrests are way down, police are fetal and courts send them home. Why not shut down whole court system? Let the community sentence the evil doers. Nobody should go to jail in a sanctuary city. Then all or thrice pins will be happy, until they become victims of a violent criminal. Sounds like a plan to me.

Amen. On the extreme outside chance I will be "ticketed" for a misdemeanor, I will gladly go to a suburban court. And on the more likely chance I will be the complainant on such ticket, once again I would happily go to a suburban court. Go ahead, queen sugar.

Sheriff Dart has the most reckless budget to public safety. Since he has been in office he cut 725 court deputy positions and added several hundred administrative positions. And mind you most of the beat off issues with the PD's is on the court side.

Except it hurts the victims, witnesses and their families and supporters.

Stop seeing crimes as a "black and brown" issue and start seeing it for what it is. A victim is being harmed (or worse) and/or deprived of their possession(s) without their knowledge and/or consent and unfortunately, (sometimes) by force. And not to mention the mental and/or emotional toll it takes and other potential impacts, loss of job etc..

No need to close the misdemeanor rooms. Just hold the felony call in the morning and the misdemeanor call in the afternoon in the same room. You still need half the staff but nobody has to drive out to the 'burbs.

Every time I go to work I tell myself that this City , County , State and job can't get anymore fucked up than it already is and then some politician proves me wrong. I would say that Chicago is going to be what Detroit was in the '80's and '90's , but I seriously think we are on our way to being way worse than that.

How does someone so inept and racist survive as a politician, I mean I know this county is a criminal justice fiasco, taxes are out of control, racial division is at a high, but with all this how does even a liberal minority racist Democrat stay in office. It boggles the mind to think how incredibly stupid the people in this county are, I understand the entitlement group voting for her but anyone else?

So I issue a citation for CTTP where the victim signs the citation. No one leaves the scene bc no physical arrest. How will that play out? Now another citation to the same offender for battery. "You called da police ons me, bitch ass"

What Cook county and the state need is to close the social programs that are not working except to spend the working person's tax money. Social programs are bullshit and do nothing to stop crime.

Might as well close them all down. If no one is going to be held responsible for their crimes, what's the point? But I bet you don't see taxpayers getting a big break on their local taxes.
Maybe this is the way democrats return justice to the people! Won't matter if you "shoot to kill" or "shoot to stop the threat", no one will ask.

Nuts? Not sure about that. Did you ever think she might want to cut misdemeanor arrests and have less offenders in court and county jail
Plus she wouldn’t look soft on crime and still cut down on arrests

Idle threats from broom hilda (not to be confused with Brunhilda).
It’s a crock of bs.
Typical and predictable Democrat maneuver, shy from cutting the patronage and cut the essentials.
She will go further too and cut some poverty level programs to sweeten her position.

We’ve seen some this was coming way back when they went to the weed ANOV.
Decriminalize every community oriented illicit activity means votes.
Revolving door courts have become ghost towns and links tee times are always backed up.
However, the days of a judges three hour lunch are not ending.
(Remembering waiting for the ol’ jolly Bolton coming back at 1400 for the overloadeded 0900 call was always a laugh. Cleared the whole room in a half hour.)

Push the judges too hard and PorkWrinkke will be easily voted out when they put up their notable candidate, and she knows there’s still time to do that.
