Chicago May Let Private Security Guards Write Tickets

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Private security guards patrolling three Far South Side commercial strips would be empowered to write tickets -- for everything from parking and moving violations to loitering, littering and graffiti -- under a groundbreaking plan that faces strong resistance from rank-and-file Chicago Police officers.

The controversial idea comes at a time when City Hall is slowing police hiring and violent crime is up.

You might question how this is constitutional? It's Chicago.Anyway,no word yet on whether Chicago's City Council will use the Chicago Mob to levee a "street tax" on Chicago residents.No word yet from Alderman Burke on this one.Also,no word yet from alleged former bookie/Governor Blagojevich on this one.
