Trooper Talk

My car was parked on a city street in Chicago and I received a ticket for noncompliant plates I do have Illinois plates and have a tinted cover. In a response on the website, you stated this is a moving violation. Since this is a moving violation and my car was parked, is the ticket valid?
Thank you,

We will be traveling to you area with a suburban and a 14ft trailer. Can we drive on E Wacker dr? We are going to the Navy Pier and do realize Lake Shore Dr doesn't allow trailers .
Thank You

I have a question about what is considered "open" liquor. Some time ago, my Dad told me that if you have an incomplete 6 pack in your trunk - for instance 2 totally sealed, closed bottles that have no been opened - that is "open" liquor because the other bottles are missing an thus that container (the 6 pack as a whole) has been "opened". Is this true???

I have heard that the law in Illinois is changing regarding Window Tint. I am moving from Texas, and am curious when the new law takes affect, and what will be allowed?

Hi my name is Kathy my husband Chris and I have been living in the chicago area for almost three years now. The first time we moved here when we registered our car we only received one license plate and being from Louisiana never thought anything of this. We have not heard anything in the past three years about being required to have a front license plate. We are moving back to Louisiana in three weeks and just today got a $50.00 ticket for not having a front license plate. We looked this law up online because we could not believe that we have gone three years without knowing that this was a requirement and now I can only ponder why we were only given one license plate when we registered our car three years ago if the state requires two. Is there anyway we are not liable for this ticket especially considering our imminent departure?

Thanks for the answer

Dear Randy,
I am sixteen years old and I want to obtain my FOID card but my parents
are divorced and I live with my dad in IL. He can not get his FOID
card because of a felony. How could I get mine?

What is the legal and proper way to transport guns in a car to a gun range or to hunting clubs? I always transport my guns in the trunk or in the back seat but that could be considered a concealed weapon?

Thanks

Dear Officer.
I am trying to check the status of my wife's FOID card and we cannot get through to the office number provided. She sent her application in on 2/27/09 and the check was cashed on 3/9/08. As of 4/21 we cannot find out status. Is there any other way to check status?

Thank You.

I recently was pulled over for speeding and I received a ticket in La grange Park, where I recently moved to from FL. The officer took my DL and said I would get it back after I paid. Well it is about 7 days after I paid my ticket through the mail. Any ideas when I will get it back and who I call if I don't??
