And so it begins.
In the time it took my husband to fill up at the Kroger gas station in Chillicothe, we witnessed two traffic stops.
So....PSA:
If you are going to be anywhere near Chillicothe in the next 4-5 days, don't give the cops ANY reason to pull you over.
Drive under the speed limit.
Use your turn signal when changing lanes or turning.
Don't hang ANYTHING from your rear view mirror. Don't set ANYTHING on your dashboard.
And be sure you have NO unlawful drugs of any kind in your vehicle. K-9 Dark is VERY thorough, and if he finds drugs in your car, he gets to play with the ball.

On a more positive note, gas in Chilli is 30 cents LESS per gallon than in Peoria.

HA! Those people getting tickets will appreciate the savings!! I think I'll put$3 in the tank, drive to Chilli and save an additional 20 cents a gallon with ye ol' Kroger card.

From the funniest lawyer in the area and horrible boater Jeff Hall's Facebook page. This is the lawyer with the billboards out there.
If you or anyone you know has any trouble with the law this weekend while traveling to, while attending, or while leaving Summer Camp Music Festival, email me at [email protected] or call/text my cell at (309) 231-9980. HRF is standing by to help people with the nightmare that could lie ahead. As always, we give a 25% fee discount to represent clients from arrests related to the Festival.
Remember: You do not have to talk to police. You can remain silent. Make sure if you are questioned by police to ask if you are under arrest. If they tell you "no," ask if you are free to leave. If they say "no," simply respond to them by saying, "I am going to remain silent and I want my lawyer present for any questioning." And then stay quiet!
Be wary of "ruse checkpoints" on I-74 (usually near the Goodfield exit). Don't forget that you can record police with your camera phone while they are acting in their official police-capacity. Just don't be a **** about it. Also, if you are taking your contraband through the front gates, you will likely be caught so think twice about that one.
And otherwise, try to have some good ole fashioned lawful fun...
Finally, share my blog link so more people can educate themselves for the weekend.

If it looks different they will pull you over. Many are here to have a good time its always been this way. Ones that come see opportunity`s to make some cash selling dope. Like always its a risk. The words of Jim Carry in Liar Liar Quit braking the ____ law

@tnt:
Exactly!
I'm happy that our police force (including K-9 Dark!) is committed to protecting me and my neighbors.
I was only posting the warning to keep the innocent from being pulled over. Many of the stops will be made by STATE police who may not recognize locals. "Obstructed windshield" is commonly used as a reason to pull people over. So, if you have something dangling from your mirror...be it a dreamcatcher or rosary beads...take it down for at least the next few days.

Stupidity reigns at this event. I’ve seen people tip their beer cans at police as they drive by. I’ve seen vans roll in which marijuana smoke was visible inside (the odor was apparent, as well). And people complain the cops pull them over? Yeesh! Have fun, but use your head for something other than a hat rack.

@Seal:
The "stupidity" at this event is mostly imported. Most of the arrests are of people from outside the state...or at least outside of the tri-county area.

@AnneC these are the same things that I said about Cornerstone in Bushnell and got raked over the proverbial coals for it, but it seems this one isn't as well liked by locals as they think Cornerstone was by the people there.
 
I guess it goes back to the "If it isn't in my backyard...." thing.

@skutfarcus When I was young I didn't tear up other peoples property. I didn't cause trouble, steal or get arrested.
