Legislation I Hope Comes to Illinois Soon for False DUI Arrests

As I have discussed in prior posts regarding former Top Chicago DUI Cop John Haleas and disgraced Top Chicago DUI Cop Joe Parker, it should be made as easy as possible  for folks to get relief after a false arrest.  In Illinois  you can have arrests and charges expunged after the charges are either dismissed or where one is found not guilty; it is an arduous process, however, and has led to some true battles in Cook County between Judges and law enforcement

Here's news of a change for better law in Oregon:


A bill to allow people falsely accused of drunken driving to clear their arrest records is making its way through the Oregon Legislature.

The bill is a response to complaints arising in Corvallis in 2007, when a police officer arrested at least four drivers for driving under the influence even though they proved to be sober.

The officer resigned, moved to Idaho and started a private-investigation company, specializing in helping clients defend themselves in DUI cases, the Albany Democrat-Herald reported.

I wonder if the former Top Chicago DUI Cops will reinvent themselves with private-investigation companies as well.
