Streetwalker Reports

[Ump1969]

I had just written yesterday saying I had no official info about CPD. Today there is a story in the Trib. CPD brass wants to set up checkpoints. Technically, they would be the usual safety checkpoints, looking for seatbelts and auto violations. But people out without a "valid" reason would be urged to go home. The police union is against this as is the ACLU. What does that mean for us? I'm not sure. It will be of interest first to know where these checkpoints will be. Let's say that one is located at North Cic and Fullerton. Does that put a crimp in the route, do we all tell LEO we are on the way home or to the grocery store? Or do we just endure LEO telling us to go home? I personally believe, that if not from the neighborhood, LEO might not believe you are merely shopping or on the way home. LEO is not totally dumb as to why we are out there, especially on some of the seedier routes like 5th. The problem now is that they will believe they have a legitimate reason to stop us. "No sir, we are not stopping you here on Fifth Avenue because we believe you are seeking street girls. We are simply checking to see if you are using your seat belt. " And there is the other thing, that LEO doesn't particularly want to get that close to either us or the girls any more than he has to. So feel free to contradict me or add to the info from the Trib. I'm simply guessing and proposing potential scenarios. I have no idea what reality will bring.

I don't know if any of the LEO activities surrounding this hobby would ever involve incarceration, but if they did, this is the absolute wrong time to end up in a jail. Especially Cook County Jail.

As well, mr. Stark. The close quarters alone in the cells would cause problems. Those places are incubators for this kind of thing. I know when I was doing what I now call "sucker" work with the cpd, west loop associations and charitable organizations (problem being the same 15 people do all the work and the rest of the community just applauds and gives you your complimentary pat on the back!) We toured cook county lockup with the cpd and got an extensive tour. Everything in there is tight and we did go into a cell which was two to a cell except when they are crowded and then they did one on the floor, two in the bunks. They have those blocks where they do have a communal area. When they are processed they chain them all together when out of this big cage. Makes you wonder why people do crazy things and wind up in there!

I guess I haven't even thought about it. It makes sense. Stores are closed. A lot of work, when available, is being done at home. Car traffic is down. With people being urged to stay at home, there are less people on the street, especially at night. Less traffic means LEO is more noticeable. And they probably have less to do. I guess my question is what their official and unofficial policies are. Cook County courts don't want their business right now. LEO doesn't want contact with the public any more than he has to. So when they report to the station houses, what are they being told about arrests and enforcement? As I pointed out, things are different in several towns I have heard about.

What I can tell you about my little village here southeast of the big airport is that all unessential business with fuzz has been curtailed. On the village website anything minor like who really knows what that entails is to be phoned in. What usually happens up here for instance the homeless can take the blue line at rosemont, jump on the big blue bus (not my former garage down here though) and get off in our little downtown. Usually if the fuzz sees them hanging out, they will say look we are giving you a free ride! Meaning they escort them back up to rosemont, see that they get up on the el and then send them towards the city. Now what one of the homeless guys told me while he was waiting for the bus was that they just told him look you don't belong here so get on the bus and get out now! The fuzz station across the street is closed unless it's official business. So yea I am with you, ump. The line is blurred. I am of the belief that if one is stopped for something stupid while driving they are going to ask what you are doing out and in the area. I mean I have limited my in city drives only because right now there's nothing down there but my mail box downtown.

Ump go figure! Our governor believes liquor stores are essential, however barber shops are not!! So as a result I look like the cover of a beatles 64 album. A mop top at 67! I do know when I do get to see my hair girl I'll have some explaining to do or big tipping or both! Yea it's dry. I noticed even on eros where there would be three or four pages of girls in town there are only two. oh btw all-i have seen more fuzz hanging then i have ever seen driving around in the city or out by the airport. over by the hip mall in norridge they are testing at the old emissions place as i go by there to shop back in my old hood. when this first broke it was madness right in that area. today it' not as bad, however still backed up. and even though that is not really city, the city fuzz is everywhere over there. mostly i see cruisers podding around out here so not as many drive bys. the weirdest thing i saw by the uc when coming up damen from getting my mail early sunday morning was two indiana sheriffs brown cruisers fly around me. they wound up at the uc so free breakfast must have been on and they figured wtf it's a ways but let's roll! no really i am sure they were on official fuzz business! stay safe and let's hope these providers don't go crazy with high fees when this clears up thinking that we need them so bad they can jack up their prices.

A lot of us are in the same boat Kemosabe.

Thanks for reading my forum message the way I intended for it to be read. I wonder how long this crap is going to last. It has been weeks now since I have seen my friend. Problem is, she is more of a risk taker than I am. When they shut down the Casino's I knew things were serious. I snuck in one last visit. She called me to hook up even after but I said to my self, things are getting risky so I better close the door. Gee wiz, I want to open the door back open. I want to hang out and have fun but I also want my health. Some people are getting Corona where it barely does anything to them then others are suffering a loss of life. I would hate to get my desire for company get me into a bad health situation. This one is real tricky. A condom will do little help here. The virus is passed through the air so breathing around someone can get you infected.

I am really getting frustrated because it has been over a month already. Problem is there is no end in sight.

https://abc7chicago.com/3rd-cook-cou...-dies/6098349/

From What I read CCCC is releasing non-violent offenders with less than six months left on their sentence.

Again I do believe that some will have a fear factor and believe that since they ghosted on child support or indeed are out loose when they should not be, many will take a pass on the 1. 2 k. However, I do not believe that should be a determent. People out there that need this cash to eat and have shelter should go for this or at the very least look into charity programs that will supply food, shelter and clothing. They are out there if one takes the time to look. Hope all stay very safe. Stosh peace and out!

People who have not filed taxes for several years may be in fear that the IRS may investigate them in the future!

For example: A SW paying her bills by "working" hasn't paid taxes in years. Now she's hurtin' and needs assistance! Does she file and get assistance risking future consequences?

third Cook County Jail detainee who tested positive for COVID-19 has died, officials announced Sunday.

The Cook County Sheriff's Office reported that 42-year-old Nicholas Lee died Sunday at Stroger Hospital.
...
As of Sunday, 306 Cook County Jail detainees have tested positive for the novel coronavirus, along with 218 members of the sheriff's office staff.

More than 180 of those are correctional officers, according to the county sheriff.

Stash, I'm ashamed of you. Don't you think our hobby should be considered an essential need?(LOL).

While I have the floor, I have seen a few questions on how LEO is handling arrests at this time, especially Lord Darts' boys. I have no official info on what policy (written or unwritten) that CPD or Cook County is using. But here is a little info from other locations. A friend of mine over in Indiana that has a neighbor that is a local cop has been told that they are not stopping people for minor traffic violations, like speeding unless it is considered to be of a dangerous nature. In my local town, cops are not investigating minor crimes such as your home being broken into, unless there is significant loss or damage or danger. This info was in the local media. They are simply taking phone reports. Both of these reports are designed to reduce LEO contact with the public. Take that for what it is worth and if other mongers have info on what locals PDs are doing, feel free to report it. No rumors, please, that might get mongers in trouble- make sure it is solid info.

I heard that people who have not filed taxes (even for several years) can still receive the $1200 stimulus money! Has anyone heard the same?

Yes I saw her while I was driving by. I was going to report but I did a few laps around the block. She is back and lost weight, but she does not look good at all. Thought it was just maybe the day I saw her but again I drove past and a day later and she was still wore down.

Just want to warn everyone if they get the close up look.

She has actually gained weight. Last year she got skinny and lost her form temporarily.

I usually like to see my friend from time to time. Because of the distance requirement set by the government, I have not seen her in weeks. I don't know what to do. I want to see her but I value my health.

A lot of us are in the same boat Kemosabe.

[TonyDe]

Well said, nice to hear a voice of reason once in a while.

I think both of you missed the part where he values his health.
