Chicago and Evanston had some inspection stations for some residents. A Chicago cop had habit of pulling cars over for some minor infraction or little thing barely seen and having DOT inspector help him do road side inspection, very thorough inspection of brakes tires, air cleaner, spare tire, under vehicle with mirror on stick and a jack test besides. lots of repair tickets to be brought to court for dismissal or else license plate pull was threat. Main point of his appearance in traffic court to push ticket seemed to be the 'found during inspection-see ticket' Felonies regarding drugs, stolen vehicles, stolen goods, fugitive, firearms in possession of felon. If ticket isn't prosecuted, evidence might be suppressed in the following criminal trial-SO, bald tires and noisy exhaust, smoky tailpipes were getting him a good felony bust at least once a week. some hassles about possible profiling- but if he has a rep in court for doing safety checks daily, then can't say he was picking on any one in particular. Ticket were timed at least one minute before any criminal charges recorded- the dirty exhaust was caused by half blocked air cleaner, blockage was plastic baggies with something in them- see lab report on material in bag- Felony amount of whatever. No blockage and clean filter -the vehicle doesn't have dirty exhaust and the new at time emission wand comes up dirty as initial test, clean after correction- and that means the evidence of the dirty exhaust is also presented to criminal court, can't be suppressed. As a side- lots of tires and brake jobs done that were needed, some tuneups also, wiper blades, headlights , etc. 10 needed repairs for safe vehicle and a 'just happened to find a felony during inspection for public safety'. Sold and delivered bunch of parts to shops doing repairs, noting ticket numbers on bills, saw the officer in court couple times. Court clerk said officer didn't write out ticket right maybe 8 years before and evidence suppressed, now officer was writing tickets and picking on random drivers with one bad light or smoke or tire just to cover his A$$ on the somewhat profiled felony busts- but all repair tickets had a good reason if no felony bust. Ferguson Missouri police seemed to write bunch of tickets for defective vehicles, make some other busts- now can't do that by agreement with federal prosecutors to avoid civil rights suit. Could be worse- UK has MOT inspections that are supposed to be a real hassle in main towns. RN

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
