Dart Announces Anti-Carjacking Legislation Cook County Sheriff Thomas J. Dart announced legislation today requiring auto manufacturers to create a 24/7 recovery hotline to help law enforcement quickly track stolen vehicles. The inability for law enforcement to access tracking information in real time after a carjacking makes it difficult to catch offenders and prevent the vehicle from being used in additional crimes. Currently, each auto manufacturer has their own process for obtaining such existing information, often causing unnecessary delays. Under the legislation, law enforcement can obtain this information, if the owner consents, when a vehicle has been carjacked or is being used in the commission of other violent crimes. Cook County experienced 2,060 carjackings in the last 12 months and carjackings rose 38 percent from 2020 to 2021. The Sheriff’s Office has been gathering and analyzing detailed data on the crime as part of its work with a regional carjacking task force. The Office also has been engaged in discussions with auto manufacturers since December about a potential hotline and other ways the industry could help combat the rise in carjackings. “Tracking is a game changer. Gaining better access to this information in a way that protects consumers will go a long way to turning back the rise in this particularly vicious crime,” Sheriff Dart said. “In analyzing data on this crime, we know that the sooner we know where the car is, the better chance we have of finding the offenders and preventing the vehicle from being used in other crimes.” SB 4205 is sponsored by State Senator Michael Hastings and HB 5744 is sponsored by State Representative Marty Moylan. “The faster we are able to tackle this issue and arrest the
people who carjack, the better off and safer society will be,” said state Sen. Michael Hastings. “I am extremely proud of this bill.” “A comprehensive response to the recent rise in carjackings must include input from our law enforcement,” state Rep. Marty Moylan said. “I am proud to collaborate with law enforcement officers like Sheriff Dart to come up with solutions to this public safety issue.” The legislation also will require auto manufacturers to provide law enforcement agencies details about the tracking capabilities available in their vehicles by model, year, and version. In addition, auto manufacturers will waive all fees associated with initiating, renewing, or maintain the vehicle tracking and/or vehicle disabling systems in response to law enforcement investigations involving carjackings or other violent crimes. The public will also be able to access information about whether their cars can be tracked on the Sheriff’s website. In December, Sheriff Dart wrote to major auto manufacturers requesting their assistance in creating a hotline law enforcement can use to receive vehicle tracking information in real time. He also testified on March 1 before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee about the rise in carjackings and his work with automakers on solutions. In the meantime, Sheriff Dart developed a consent-to-track form that owners can submit to the Sheriff’s Office to grant access to vehicle tracking information in the event it’s illegally taken. Having the completed form on hand will make it easier for law enforcement to access tracking information from manufacturers. The consent form and safety tips are available on the Sheriff’s Office website.
Let’s Have A Different Conversation People stay in tune to who they are, and not loose themselves in the midst of the unfamiliar. The cards are designed to help men, women, father/sons and those who still desire to date, to gain better self awareness and to have an impactful tool (always on hand) for an effective Personal Time of Reflection. Their cards help people identify and work on their personal triggers with family and other situations that provoke, irritate, or annoy you and prevent you from showing up as your Best Self. The couple realizes…Everybody can’t afford a therapist or wants to visit a counselor. But, everyone can do the Necessary Work for themselves, One Card At A Time! Pam says she read a thought provoking quote years ago that
she never forgot… “ The only place Success comes Before Work is in the Dictionary “ by Vince Lombardi The couple since then, has been offering people everywhere the opportunity to prepare themselves to better themselves. They have given their cards to both shelters in South Holland to help men and women understand no matter what has happened in their life…Preparation + Opportunity = Success. They have encouraged them with conversation cards to Prepare and Confidently Walk in an Outstanding measure of success this year.
