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??

You should receive your license back after you pay a ticket by mail within 2-4 weeks. It may very well be sooner than that, the length of time depends on how long it takes the Circuit Clerk or the State's Attorney to process the paperwork. You can contact either's office in the County where the citation was issued (Cook County in this case) to check on it. Start with the Circuit Clerk's office as they process these tickets. Hope that information is helpful.
You may wait even longer if the ticket was issued by the State Police, as the license goes to the State first, then back out to the district. It took me nearly three weeks to get mine back.
