Chicago DUI lawyer comments on legislation to fine you for the pleasure of your police arrest

This Chicago DUI lawyer has posted here, here, and here on relevant legislation. Now comes news of a law that could, and no I’m not the only lawyer who reads it this way, cause the convicted to pay for the fact that the police arrested him.

625 ILCS 5/16-104a from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 16-104a
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that in addition to any other fine or penalty required by law, an individual convicted of reckless driving or speeding in excess of 40 miles per hour over the posted speed limit and the violation proximately caused an incident resulting in an appropriate emergency response, shall be required to make restitution to a public agency for the costs of that emergency response in an amount not exceeding $1,000 per public agency for each emergency response. Effective July 1, 2010.

(b) In addition to any other fine or penalty required by
law, an individual convicted of a violation of Section 11-503
or 11-601.5 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
ordinance and the violation proximately caused an incident
resulting in an appropriate emergency response, shall be
required to make restitution to a public agency for the costs
of that emergency response. The restitution may not exceed
$1,000 per public agency for each emergency response. As used
in this subsection, "emergency response" means any incident
requiring a response by a police officer, an ambulance, a
firefighter carried on the rolls of a regularly constituted
fire department or fire protection district, a firefighter of a
volunteer fire department, or a member if a recognized
not-for-profit rescue or emergency medical service provider.

So now you could be fined because the police decided to stop you? Yeesh, there I was thinking we were different from California, maybe not.
