Police panel plans traffic stop limits, but its own survey found most Chicagoans oppose restrictions -CWB Chicago

The Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability’s to limit the reasons Chicago police officers can make traffic stops is moving forward even though its own in-house survey found that a majority of city residents do not want any restrictions placed on CPD’s ability to stop drivers. And in a move critics call troubling for a city commission that is supposed to be committed to transparency in policing, the CCPSA did not release its survey results until the 18th District panel filed a Freedom of Information Act request.

Maybe the cops should all just stay at the station and only leave when a 911 call comes in. That way no minorities or anyone of any color will be inconvenienced with a traffic stop for failing to fulfill their basic responsibilities as citizens or legal residents to drive a car with an up to date registration and all taillights and headlights working for safety reasons.
