Chicago DUI lawyer comments on paying a bribe to get your license after a DUI revocation


This Chicago DUI lawyer has posted here, here, and here about the difficulty in getting driving privileges restored once they are revoked for a DUI. That said she is surprised, post the licenses-for-bribes scandal, that any Illinois DMV employee would be accused of accepting a bribe for a driver’s license.

April 1, Chicago, IL

A woman at a Chicago branch of the Illinois Secretary of State was charged Thursday with accepting $1,000 to create a fake driver's license.
Lisa Marie LaCalamita, 46, of Melrose Park worked as a manager at the Chicago West facility on West Lexington Street, according to the Cook County state's attorney's office.
A relative introduced her to a man who said he needed an ID to pass through airport security, prosecutors said. The man said his license had been suspended because of a prior DUI conviction, authorities said.
There is no easy way to get your driving privileges restored. I wonder if they are going to criminally charge the man who got the fake driver’s license.
