After the Saga of Vincent Richardson and the Juan Quintero incident, it seems like some folks have had enough. Earlier this week, Chicago Ald. James Balcer (11th) introduced a new ordinance which would jack up the minimum fine for impersonating a police officer. The old minimum? $10. The new minimum? $500. The maximum fine would also increase, from $100 to $1,000.
