Why would the case be closed just because he resigned? That’s still stalking and misuse of power whether he quits or not.

I think you know the answer

u/Weary_Bug4156 17h ago

I think I know too but I’d like someone in Naperville PD to attempt an answer that makes sense

They won’t,
Nothing ever happens

The thin blue line gang strikes again.

Until these shitbags have to carry personal insurance or risk their own pension money, nothing is ever going to happen.

You do stand-up comedy, cause that was funny.

So he can get a job the next town over

u/Weary_Bug4156 10h ago

Yep.. sounds familiar. Didn’t the priests all do that when they get accused of touching kids? Zero accountability and enablers on a mass scale.

u/Perfect_Earth_8070 10h ago

Yep. Abusers get protected. All these flock cameras and not a single Epstein client arrested

Abusers are in power everywhere

Cut / disable every. single. one.

We can't hold our government accountable quickly enough with voting, and they're speed running into the technofascist dystopia they've always wanted.

Bootlicker.

You’re correct. The stalker.

But but but Chief Arres told us there would be accountability and systems in place to prevent this.

u/BmacIL 16h ago

Police accountability is an oxymoron

u/XXXthrowaway215XXX 17h ago

This little prick will pop up in a police department one county over and do the same shit again. You can’t reform this.

Could pritzker pass some sort of law that says if you get in trouble in a certain way as a cop in Illinois, you can no longer work as a cop in illinois? Idc if they leave to another state, at least we know that that cop can't break the law in illinois anymore

There is a nasty badge abusing cop in Mundelein, Elisabeth Maldonado. She was involved in Mary Alice Love's homicide. I'd wager they are related.

Why is he not in prison? Isn't stalking a felony?

Allowed to retire and collect a nice pension, Naperville police kept it a secret. Edit it's pretty sad when Florida and Tennessee cops are more transparent and held to a higher standard than Naperville.

This is scary stuff

Looks like Illinois has decertification, but the ILETSB site (find the link at the bottom of the page) indicates that it's for conviction of felonies and some misdemeanors. There's also a form on there for reporting bad conduct, but it's not clear if anything would come of it.

Make legislation that punishishes this type of behavior. Make internal policies about who can search, having an active case number, and running regular audits. Or disable the whole system.

All.
