Here we go again.....Elmhurst Patch....Judge, jury, executioner. Nobody is presumed innocent...not here...not in the United States of America...look at Guantanamo...same as here in Patchland...let's show names...faces...addresses....and presume they are GUILTY before they even have a chance to defend themselves !! Dirty laundry lives on in Elmhurts...like always. The only town that has 2 hard copy newspapers dedicated to DIRTY LAUNDRY and of course the "electronic" version as well....just despicable. You should be ashamed of yourselves !

apart from the DUI cases, pretty sure all the drug busts are guilty, hard to argue if something is found in your car.

Nah...couldn't happen...ever...the point is...in THIS country...in this town...we should ALL be considered innocent UNTIL proven GUILTY ! That's why WE are different from other countries.

I agree with you but I don't know if we as just citizen's can do anything to stop that practice. IRead More wish that each cyclist had to have a license, and that it was enforced by laws and police, on the bike so that people could report occurrences and have the person receive a ticket just like a person driving an auto. That would make sense.

A couple of years ago, Villa Park installed "State Law- must stop for pedestrians" signsRead More on the roadways where the Great Western and Prairie Paths cross. I saw a big increase in path users barreling across the streets with no regard for the stop signs on the path.

I was really hoping that the Elmhurst Police would sound in on this info-I do understand kids willRead More be kids, but if one of them is hurt, that adult driver will need to live with that for the rest of their life-so let's come up with a solution for both bicyclist and cars to be in harmony. I really think that a step up in enforcement in the bicycle laws would help-just like the drunk driving laws-believe me the bicycle laws are just as important.
