Chicago Police Hid Mics, Destroyed Dashcams to Block Audio, Records Show
Let&#x27;s see.. in the 20 odd years here in Chicago, the sum of my police interactions are:<p>Hit by a white shirt (supervisor) who came out of an alley on clark st while in a bike lane - somehow my fault, detained.<p>Hit on foot, by a car with no lights on in a residential neighborhood while crossing at a crosswalk - somehow my fault for being outside while there was &quot;a suspect being hunted&quot;<p>Watching officers on foot in 7-11&#x27;s, local shops, etc, just walk in, take what the want, and leave.<p>Helping a friend move to another city because he ended a relationship with a cop who made his life a living hell after they broke up.<p>Being accused of trying to &quot;make the neighborhood look bad&quot; when I called the fire department because my neighbor had smoke coming out of the door in his apartment (turns out he was just passed out drunk and left a pizza in the oven, but what else do you do when you bang on a door pouring smoke and no one answers?)<p>So yeah, once my S&#x2F;O finishes what she needs to to change jobs, we&#x27;re out of here I think.  The police force here is really the icing on the cake of so much else that&#x27;s overpriced, corrupt, or just plain sucks about Chicago.  All the good things it&#x27;s supposed to have just seem completely irrelevant to me anymore.
