Kane County Sheriff’s Department

Embarrassed by two officers who should have been patrolling traffic for my kid school. They choose to bully me for illegally parking as they call it. Handcuffed and treated as a criminal for 3 tickets. Shame on you two officers if you’re reading this!

I had 2 cars sitting outside my house. As the dispatcher put me on hold the tow truck came for what was a broken down car in fact. I told her when she came back on the phone and said we could wait a bit and i could call back and she was more than willing to send somebody or to check it out. The officer came right as they were leaving, but i felt better knowing they came.

Honestly … Who wants to get the call that someone needs you to bail them out. In my case I very simply wanted to aid this person but felt that if I got them released that would not be in their best interest.
Instead I spoke the officer and he made me feel more comfortable about my choice to leave the individual behind bars.
Negatives. I had to wait a while
For the officer. It isn’t like I want to hang around the police station all day, especially considering I am not the one in custody. Which is how I felt as I waited for help.
The Elgin police are fantastic though. They were able to accomplish things in the particular case which I could have never done on my own.

Ah, good ol’ Kane county jail. I spent a month and half confined behind your jail bar doors, and for what? A terrible mistake of taking some mushrooms after drinking all night and going out in public? That’s“s nothing. Of all the I Illinois county jails I have been in (5) this was middle of the road. I had my «state-​paid vacation» here in my late teen’s. I was brought in dirty, and disheveled. Left in pretty much the same way. Funny thing is the wing I was in is referred as «the cabbage patch» because of all the young inmates in here. Upon release I came to find out that the corrections dept. is very far from my Chicago home (25+ miles). Luckily I had just enough in my pockets to get on a metra train to down town. Although that journey was fairly arduous in of itself.
Lesson learned: Save the mushrooms, for a nice, sunny day not after drinking all night, and Never try to steal a mannequin from a dept. store.
