Abuse of Authority

Statement

Officer Jader badge number 470 followed my vehicle for miles on september 02 2023. until he saw me at caseys general store and pulled in to have a "conversation with me". long story short, he said my eyes were glossy so he wanted to do a fst. i complied due to my CDL license. He made multiple procedural errors. including writing a completely different description of my clothes and other obvious mistakes. He felt schadenfreude as soon as he was able to get his "pbt" to read .143 , threw me in his squad car, laughed and said ,'I got ya good didnt I," i am still going to court for this as i do not feel any justice can be served from the unscrupulous tactics.

Illinois Freedom of Information Act

5 Illinois Compiled Statutes 140

The Illinois Freedom of Information Act, enacted in 1989 and recently updated in 2010, is a series of laws designed to guarantee that the public has access to public records of government bodies at all levels in Illinois. The updates effective in 2012 greatly strengthened the act. The law requires each public agency to nominate an officer to be the official keeper of public records, as well as complete an online training course, established by the attorney general. The act defines public records as all records, reports, forms, writings, letters, memoranda, books, papers, maps, photographs, microfilms, cards, tapes, recordings, electronic data processing records, recorded information and all other documentary materials under the control of any public body.

Anyone can request public documents but the Illinois Freedom of Information Act is not supposed to be used to further a commercial enterprise, violate individual privacy, or disrupt the day-to-day working of the public body. Government agencies must either comply with or deny a written request for public records within five working days after receiving it.
