WBEZ – Some drivers in Chicago will be walloped with unexpected tickets when 16 new speed cameras go live June 1.
The new cameras, mostly placed on the North Side, are about to finish a 30-day warning period and a two-week blackout period so notices could be delivered.
History shows the new cameras will issue significantly more tickets in their first days as drivers adjust their speeding habits. In the past four years, most new cameras hit motorists the hardest in their first couple of months of issuing tickets, according to a Chicago Sun-Times/WBEZ analysis.
One of the new cameras at 4716 N. Ashland Ave. is painted black, and has a smaller profile than older, gray speed cameras drivers are familiar with.
I don’t want to make a huge deal out of this again as much as just give another PSA that the speed cameras are coming into effect at the end of this month. Obviously that’s fucking bullshit but that’s above both of our pay grades. I’m just here giving you guys a warning to watch out for the 16 New Speed Cameras that are now past the blackout period from their initial activation.

For now I just wanted to give you guys a heads up that we are officially LIVE on June 1st with these cameras.
And with that a small message.
FUCK Brandon Johnson in his stupid arrogant pie hole sucking face. He’s so incomprehensibly incompetent and thoughtless and downright WRONG on seemingly every single position that I feel almost inappropriate to criticize him. But then I remember that he’s a incorrigible scumbag with racist overtures and power-hungry schematics born from corrupt relationships and moral bankruptcy. And when I remember that, it’s easy to keep piling on because he’s quite literally the worst leader in the history of known democracy for as long back as anyone reading this is capable of looking.
So with that in mind, FUCK Brandon Johnson and friendly reminder we need a real power player in the mayor seat. It hasn’t felt right since Rahm Emanuel left office and I think this is a good lesson for the people of Chicago. This is a big swinging dick kinda city and we should accept nothing less from our executive leadership.
Period.
End of story.
