One Minute Survey – Proposed Prohibitions on CPD Traffic Stop

One Minute Survey: Should the Chicago Police Department be PROHIBITED from Conducting Certain Traffic Stops?

Please complete the one-minute survey below.

WE WANT YOUR VOICES TO BE HEARD! 

Background – On July 31, 2025, a majority of the Community Commission on Public Safety and Accountability (the Commission) voted to support new PROHIBITIONS on CPD’s ability to conduct certain traffic stops. This is NOT the final vote and the Commission has requested additional public input.

Proposed Prohibition: “The Chicago Police Department shall be PROHIBITED from conducting a traffic stop or temporarily detaining a driver of a vehicle that is not a commercial, livery or chauffeured vehicle where the primary basis for the stop is any of the following violations:

• A missing or improperly displayed front license plate, so long as the vehicle has a properly displayed rear license plate;
• A displayed registration sticker that has expired within one year;
• Improper license plate fastening or positioning where the license plate is otherwise clearly displayed;
• Improper rear license plate illumination;
• One non-functioning headlight, taillight, or brake light during daylight if the vehicle has at least one functioning headlight, taillight, and brake light; and
• Operating a vehicle with a loud sound system.”

THE RESULTS OF THIS SURVEY WILL BE ACCUMULATED, PRESENTED TO DECISION-MAKERS, AND SHARED WITH ALL THOSE RESPONDING.
