New laws in January aimed at addressing spike in carjackings, vehicle thefts in Illinois – Center Square

The top five states for vehicular crime – California, Illinois, Florida, Colorado and Texas – accounted for 412,008 cars stolen. More than 1,300 carjackings have occurred in the Chicago area this year. Those who speculated that it was a “pandemic thing” may rethink that notion as the problem continues.

Try and charge someone with theft of auto in Cook/County/Chicago, good luck with that. Try charging someone with possession of burglary tools, good luck with that. Try charging just about anything under the policies of Foxx and her restorative justice agenda. Too many POC in jail therefore they can’t be charged with anything. Only misdemeanors can be placed without approval of the states attorneys office, then in court they can drop charges. At least this inconveniences the criminals for a couple of hours.
