Illinois State Police (ISP) Director Brendan Kelly, alongside Cook County Sheriff’s Department Chief Leo Schmitz, discussed the recent firearm enforcement at a Thursday morning press conference. Kelly stated more than 1,700 compliance checks were conducted across Illinois with about 25% of those being done in Northern Illinois alone which led to 223 people in the region having their firearms legally taken away. ----------------- One example provided by Kelly involved a clear and present danger report made to the ISP from Batavia. The investigation determined that individual should lose their firearms rights and, upon searching his home, police even found bomb-making materials alongside multiple guns and approximately 1,000 rounds of ammunition.

cybermgk Posted August 19, 2022 at 03:42 PM Share Posted August 19, 2022 at 03:42 PM SO who has brought a suit against this ZERO due process "Clear and Present Danger' utilization? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felixd Posted August 19, 2022 at 09:02 PM Share Posted August 19, 2022 at 09:02 PM From the tape it sounds as if compliance with police orders have been spotty. How were the “compliance checks” conducted without a search warrant? The infomercial at the end of the presentation on how to denounce your neighbor was interesting. Orwellian, but interesting.

Probably just fireworks, cannon fuse alone will get that proclaimed charge, even if you have lawful black powder signal cannons to use the fuse on, not that fuse is illegal just to have anyway even if you don't have a cannon to use it on. That or misc pipe fittings. I know someone that was charged with intent to distribute drugs because they found plastic wrap, lunch bags, aluminum foil, wax paper and a kitchen scale in their kitchen drawer after they found a small personal use amount of drugs in the same house! The po-po actually seized all those 'drug' items out of the drawers laid them out on a table and dropped the little baggie of personal use amount of 'bud' and 'pipe' next to it and snapped off photos to support their claims in court that they person was distributing drugs.

MHR89 Posted August 24, 2022 at 06:54 PM Share Posted August 24, 2022 at 06:54 PM So FOID is revoked, possibly in error with C&PD, and you may have to fork over your firearms to law enforcement? Odds you get them back if the appeal goes through is probably low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milq Posted August 28, 2022 at 02:53 PM Share Posted August 28, 2022 at 02:53 PM This is making the rounds on YouTube videos now, Langley Outdoors as well as Guns & Gadgets have covered it. I haven’t heard of anyone in my direct area being affected by it but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened. Sounds like no due process is being exercised here at all. Also the comments on the Belleville article are mostly disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 8/27/2022 at 6:02 PM, Euler said: I'm starting to see YouTube videos about this issue, one yesterday and one today. I'm sure there are others. Unfortunately they get the same things wrong that I've seen on Reddit (and to a lesser extent here): they mistakenly identify Clear & Present Danger as IL's implementation of a "red flag" law, and they mistakenly claim it came into existence after the July 4 shooting. It's nice that the problem is finally getting wider visibility, but if the problem is misunderstood, there's not going to be much, if any, progress.
