- A Northwest Side community feels under siege after being blanketed with tickets by a Chicago police officer.
CBS 2′s Dave Savini investigated the cases of suburbanites being ticketed in Chicago for not having a city sticker.
Mike Spilotro’s sister lives in North Riverside, and her car is registered there. It even has a Riverside sticker in the car window.
But she received more than 20 tickets in two and a half weeks while visiting Spilotro’s Chicago home. Each one is for $120, which totals up to thousands of dollars in fines.
Must be an awfully close sister to be visiting her brother twenty times in seventeen or eighteen days. In fact, this sounds exactly like her primary residence is in fact, in Chicago. Did Channel 2 ask for proof of residence North Riverside? Driver's license? Voter registration card? Gas bill? Nope - all unasked and unanswered questions. Let's let this investigation run its course. We have a feeling there's more sloppy reporting here than sloppy police work.
