Shortshanks and his crew of idiots continues piss away money at a tremendous clip, this time by NOT pursuing money from moving violations. It has been all over the comment sections recently:
- Judges have been summarily dismissing all LIDAR tickets since December.
This is because after numerous requests from defense lawyers for a "Fry Hearing" which determines for Judges to take Judicial Notice of new technology and allow it. The City has not been answering ready for a Fry on a daily basis for the last 18 months or so.
The City has been blowing this off for years, it costs a lot of money to put on a case like this because of the cost of expert witnesses.
There was a Fry Hearing in DuPage last month and it (LIDAR) was admitted as sound technolgy. There will be one in Rolling Meadows at the end of this month, that should then allow the LIDAR to be admitted into court in Cook County.
In the meantime, thousands of dollars in fines and fees have been lost by the City and the County.
Thousands? We'd imagine it was tens of thousands, maybe more. But then again, there aren't that many tickets being written anymore since we're in backlog for eighteen out of twenty-four hours every day.
