Tow truck companies rip off customers
Below is a press release where Madigan is going after tow
companies for staging and using police scanners to chase car crashes. Illinois
law states if you sign something and you’re not in your right frame of mind you
are not held accountable. But tow companies such as the one listed below and
Chicago Auto Body & Towing. This tow company uses a police scanner to track
and find crashes and then while in a disoriented state of mind they tow your car and jack up
fees outside of what you pay for if you called your own tow truck. These
companies also put pressure on you to the point you cannot make a sound decision
and put your car on their truck before you even sign their paper authorizing
them to tow. Under 625 ILCS 5 this act is illegal for companies to do. The city
of Chicago uses E&R towing for any crash in the city because they are
authorized that is why the have a Chicago Department of Transportation plaque
on their truck’s. Under the city ordinance laws you have to be a registered and
licensed by Chicago to tow. Also under Chicago Ordinance staging is illegal (
Staging is classified by the city as listening to police calls for crashes, or
hooking and going down a street to drop a vehicle and returning to a location
while another truck grabs the first vehicle.) Lisa Madigan in a press release stated that her office has filed a lawsuit against three Cook County towing companies alleging various violations of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act and the Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
Madigan filed the suit against: (1) Road America Automotive, Inc., doing business as Premier Auto Collision, Inc., (2) Premier Auto Collision, Inc., doing business as Target Towing & Recovery, Inc., and (3) Target Towing and Recovery, Inc., doing business as Road America Automotive, Inc. All three companies operate out of the same business address at 3055 W. 131st Street in Blue Island.Since 2005, Madigan’s Consumer Fraud Bureau has received 18 complaints against multiple towing companies.The lawsuit alleges a pattern of conduct through which the defendant towing companies defraud consumers. According to the lawsuit, tow truck drivers employed by the three companies often arrive at the scene of traffic accidents without being summoned by either the participants in the accident or by the police. When they arrive at the scene, the tow truck drivers approach the drivers of the damaged cars and offer to tow the cars. The tow truck drivers often mislead accident participants by falsely claiming to be affiliated with motor club services. Moreover, the tow truck drivers fail to fully disclose the high towing, storage and other miscellaneous fees that the defendant companies charge for the towing service.
Madigan’s suit describes what happened to a consumer who was injured in an automobile accident in July 2006. While waiting for the police and the ambulance to arrive, the consumer was approached by a Premier Auto tow truck driver who offered to tow her vehicle. The consumer authorized Premier Auto to tow her car to a residential address. The authorization form presented to the consumer did not list any of the charges for the tow. Despite the consumer’s specific request, Premier Auto towed her vehicle to its lot.
After she left the hospital, the consumer contacted Premier Auto concerning the release of her vehicle, and Premier Auto instructed her to contact her insurance company. The consumer’s insurance company informed her that it would pay for reasonable towing charges, but not for Premier Auto’s storage or miscellaneous fees. Premier Auto offered to waive the storage fees if the consumer agreed to allow them to repair her vehicle. When the consumer refused to allow Premier Auto to conduct the repair, Premier Auto demanded $750 for the release of her vehicleSince Madigan started the U.S. Government has now made this a federal crime. Federal authorities have arrested accused predatory tow truck perators in Chicago, Illinois as a new consumer protection law is set to take effect next month. Motorists involved in an accident often the tow truck that arrives at the accident scene to remove damaged vehicles later insists on outrageous fees, in cash, before they are returned. Police officers even take bribes to ensure only favored companies were allowed near the accident scene. Earlier this month, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents arrested a tow truck operator and a Chicago police officer for conspiracy to commit insurance fraud. The owner of Collision Towing owner, James P. Athans, 39, which also produced evidence implicating Chicago Police Officer Joseph A. Grillo was arrested and charged.
Early this year between January and May Chicago Auto Body & Towing arrived at 2 crashes in the Grandcrossing area. When the tow driver was instructed AAA would be towing the car they ignored the family member of a driver and kept insisting that the driver let them tow as they put the vehicle on the truck.
The other incident was were they kept insiting they tow a patrol car and they said no we have our own tow coming. The company kept pushing and pushing. What this company fails to realize is that under 720/ ILCS/ 20 you are not accountable for any legal contract when you are not in sound mind. The city of Chicago is teaming up with the U.S. District Attorney and the Illinois Attorney General's office to stop these companies that are doing this. The City of Chicago has stated in a press release any tow truck with a police scanner is staging and the driver will be arrested and charged with consumer fraud and the tow truck will be impounded and seized, any tow truck company not called by either driver is stagingand the driver will be charged with deseptive practice and consumer fraud and the truck will be siezed by the city.Tows are to be called in by the police or the driver and if the police call in a tow the truck better have a Chicago DOT plate or the driver will be arrested and the truck siezed. The city has recieved over 1,000 complaints a day about these tow compinies and Chicago will no longer allow them to rip customer's off.

BROCTON,Illinois no police department
BROCTON -- It was business as usual at the village pump in brocton.But food wasn't the only thing on the minds of customers.
"Although we don't have much serious crime. The police department was instrumental when we had it in force into dealing with two meth labs that were discovered in town." Bill Weber of Brocton said.
The small village has been without a police department since march of 2011.But not by choice.
"I choose to step down rather than be fired by them," Former Brocton Police Chief Ray Sollars said.
Sollars is talking about some of the town's elected officials.
"The village board is trying to get rid of the police department. We've got four members on the board that are trying desperately to get rid of our police department," Village President Dennis Cary said.
The people of brockton didn't like this, and decided to step up and have their voices heard. But the board didn't listen.
"It went to the March 2012 election and won and now the village board has decided with the attorneys oppinion that they don't have to pay any attention to it and they can continue to get rid of the police department," Cary said.
The board has held multiple meetings to discuss the issue with some getting pretty heated. Still, many in the town still think this just isn't fair.
"I always felt if you voted on something you either have a winner and a loser, and if you win then that's it," Dorothy Murphy of Brocton said.

FOP Lodge 7 Chicago: News
It is reported that a security officer stopped and arrested a black male who was in possesion of a firearm at the time of arrest. Was back out in less than 24 hours. Now according to lodge 7 a Chicago police officer shot and killed a man who pointed a gun at him after the
officer and his partner chased the man for a few blocks in the Greater Grand
Crossing area this morning, police and a union spokesman said.
The shooting took place a little after 5 a.m. in the 500 block of West Winneconna Parkway, when a man pointed a gun at a Gresham District officer who then shot him, according to a news release from police.
The Independent Police Review Authority was investigating a police-involved shooting at that location, but did not have details, a spokesman said.
The man was identified as Marquise Sampson, 19, of the 7200 block of South Stewart Avenue, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
The officer and his partner were on patrol, in uniform and in a marked squad car, when they saw a man running west on 79th Street near Vincennes Avenue, with a gun in his waistband, according to the release from Chicago Police Department News Affairs.
The officers initially may have seen the man running while carrying a black object that turned out to be a knit cap that concealed a handgun, said said Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 7 spokesman Patrick Camden.
Officers told the man to stop, but he kept running, police said. One officer got out of the squad car and pursued the man on foot, while the other followed in the car, according to police and Camden.
On Winneconna, the officer following in the car pulled into a driveway near where the man was running, and the man pulled a gun out, Camden said.
The man pointed the gun at the officer and the officer shot him, police and Camden said. A gun was found at the scene.
Sampson had no criminal convictions in Cook County and his only arrests as an adult have been on three misdemeanor charges, all of which were dropped, according to court records, which give his first name as both Marquise and Marquiese.
