Streetwalker Reports

Long or short hair?

Yesterday night I saw few LEO's in the same area sitting at the gas stations with lights off.

It was heavy on First Responders at the TJMax too. Maybe something happened.

Would think, depending on which uncle, just could have been. 1st responders in that lot could not tell you. I know that uncle tommy will dart through that shell, thorntons and the speedway regularly, however rarely see him hang for any great length of time.

On the way over to elgin made a quick pass through and saw the thin white girl in the cubs hat again near the shell. I am thinking she is a lot lizard of sorts as guys do park their big rigs over at thorntons and further down even at burlington's lot. I mean my take on her vibe is she's available to whoever happens to cross her path. There's a little apartment complex just north of that shell on the east side of heim and if I was to take an educated guess she lives there. Looks like a private motel 6 really.

I got pulled over right there on Irving (by HIP), but for tail lights being off at night. No ticket. I was just asked if I need help to get them to work.

That's norridge and generally speaking they don't sit. I have lived over here on the southwest end of the big airport for over 2 years now scooting around and for the last year with my junky little pickup truck and really the only guys over there that sit are harwood heights over near tha busy intersection at harlem and lawrence. I just found it interesting that all the times I have gone in and out of the hip I was never really tailed until recently. However, like on heim I am local and know all of the limits as well as the lights. I think heim gets so cruised not so much for the cop shops on the strip, but because they know there is some questionable activity happening in pickup areas right near all of the lingerie bars. Usually right around up here on irving most of what one sees west of river are cruisers laying back for trucks to make wrong turns and then they immediately pounce on them because the ticket is 250. Sucks but really makes sense. The roads just can't take it and really unless one spaces or doesn't know the immediate area it's kinda dumb to even be stopped with a cdl. When I drove the big blue bus down the street I was never stopped. Guys that were did just plain dumb ass maneuvers.

If the one walking the heim carrying the little dog is working?? Just curious.

The Klown.

Up and down that strip several times this week, klown. I'll see what I see and if anything report in. Ss out!

[FnlvnGuy]

What I might add is that many of these little villages in the area, however not necessarily on that heim strip, will tail one just to see what one plans on doing. I frequent the hip mall in norridge and I have pulled out of the mall parking lot and just as I make the right onto forest preserve to irving park I have been tailed. Really they are just waiting for one to make a mistake and at the same time running ones plates to see if there is a want or warrant. Now the pull over with nothing to call one on indeed could become an issue especially if the one that gets pulled over happens to be an attorney and figures what do I have to loose by suing that municipality. In the heim area I would be considered a local, however even when I do cruise along I do have my stories set just in case. Also I will not parade up and down. One pass through, possibly coming in at a different angle in front of j's or doing my turn around in the scores lot behind. So I will vary it and even stop at my friend's car wash to regroup. Agree also in that it really is not an out of towners strip. Now over here say from foster to rt. 72 on river yea those guys are pulling them over left and right because of all the pretty buildings and functions going on in that strip. Plenty of out of town plates and they do make mistakes. Course up there they stop with five cruisers for a plate bulb! You all know where I mean. I refer to it as stevensville!

Agree with everything you said, points I have made on more than one occasion. If a monger drives back and forth half a dozen times at 1 am, someone will notice because there are less cars on the road and less reason to be there. To Bitter: I get your points. Mongers are not going to get much sympathy even if on the right side of the law, so why bother making a fuss. Obviously, the best defense is don't get caught.

Agreed 100%. All good points and observations there StanleyStankas. I did not know about that one area, Foster to Rt. 72 but I will from now on be very careful. Thanks!

Ump1969, in answer to your two questions, I do not know about the first. A lawsuit would be extremely interesting, if it ever happens. Most people would not bother to go that far I suspect. Most out of towners would not know about that stretch of road unless it was publicized and then became well known. For now it isn't so the impact is going to be negligible for now. Of course this may all change in the future. You never know. Just my two cents, BitterRoot56 over and out.

I get what both Stanley and Bitter are saying and appreciate it. A little paranoia is not necessarily a bad thing. I have several questions. I wonder what will hapoen legally when someone simply passing through gets stopped and harrassed. It will happen. It's more than just out of town mongers that pass through. And a court case on someone that has not committed any infraction could be interesting followed by a lawsuit. I also wonder how local business owners will react when out of towners get nervous about even driving that stretch of road.

I know this will kind of contradict my previous report where I said the problem was more stupid mongers than LEO. But I have noticed a new tactic. They don't even wait for you to do a pickup. In you're in the area and look suspicious in any way, they follow you until you leave the area. I have found myself followed several times by both county and Franklin Park. I don't even know why. I suppose one could say that they won't bother to actually stop you because they have no reason to do so. But it's still unnerving to have a LEO tailing you for no good reason.

Ump. Now not to post something that will start a trail of "paranoid monger outings", however this would be opinion from someone that has a very local nearby window village sticker as well as a scooter medallion. Also both my rides (not counting my bicycle of course!) have the plates registered to this local village as well. If uncle and we all know several jurisdictions in a very short stretch of road (which imo has to be some sort of unique situation anywhere) suspects you of cruising it is my opinion that they will get close enough to you to run your plate. If you come up outside of the immediate villages or cities (again many as we all know of course) then you will be trailed. As you mentioned ump unless you do something wrong (easy to do on that stretch) they don't have probable cause and know you are looking back through that mirror hoping you get spooked and leave the area. Now all of that said the guy I speak about that owns that little car wash on heim told me that even he was told to move along when he parked over in the salvation army lot on grand just east of heim to make an emergency call. When? I don't know because his business is 24/7/365 and with machines there are always issues so he has no regular hours. He was stopped by uncle frankie. So say what one might and yes I know cop shops on the actual street, I do believe the area is extremely unique. Sorry for being so long winded. I'm old!

This happened to me more than once on the strip. This is one of the reasons I left, along with others. You just went through what I have been through, more than once. Trust me, it is very unnerving and will rattle you but good. BitterRoot56 out.
