Chicago DUI Lawyer is dismayed by another DUI exception to the law


This Chicago DUI lawyer has posted here, here, and here about the erosion of Constitutional rights. You see the way it works is we rally around something distasteful, say DUI or terrorism, and the next thing you know the government is both judge and jury No I have no interest in hearing anything along the lines of well if you have nothing to hide what's wrong with it? Seriously, it's time to wake up and realize that the purpose of the Constitution is to provide you with protection from law enforcement and over-reaching government.

Public Act 096-0694

Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by adding
Section
16-106.3 as follows:
(625 ILCS 5/16-106.3
new)
Sec. 16-106.3. Erroneous appearance date. In any
case
alleging a violation of this Code or similar local ordinance
which
would be chargeable as a misdemeanor, a case shall not be
dismissed due to
an error by the arresting officer or the clerk
of the court, or both, in
setting a person's first appearance
date, subject to the right of speedy
trial provided under
Section 103-5 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of
1963.

Now, DUI's and all other traffic misdemeanors are cut out of dismissal based on errors made by law enforcement or the clerk's office-- oh both of those would be government representatives.
