According to a report made by a speeding ticket attorney, Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s motorcade was caught speeding or running red lights 20 times since 2012. The alarming
part of this report as that the speeding and stop sign running was caught by
the cameras placed in school zones by Emanuel. He has been adamant since day
one of these cameras that they were installed for safety purposes (to protect
children) rather than as a revenue stream for the city.
At a news
conference today, Mr. Emanuel had a chance to respond to the report. “As
soon as I saw that, or heard about it, the story, I said, ‘Look, follow the
law. Nobody’s above the law. Slow down, period. Non-stop,” Emanuel said.
I think we will all
be following his motorcade closely from here on out to see if the mayor will
practice what he preaches. The cameras were placed there to, you know, deter
people from speeding and running stop signs.
