With the Illinois Supreme Court decision to end money bond statewide, prosecutors and the law enforcement community are bracing for impact.

On Tuesday, the Illinois Supreme Court upheld the Pretrial Fairness Act as constitutional. County court systems across the state have 60 days to implement the law.

It was no Taylor Swift, but the NASCAR Chicago Street Race helped Chicago hotels hit the biggest pre-July Fourth weekend revenue totals in nearly a decade, according to Choose Chicago, the city’s tourism arm.

The rain-soaked weekend fell short of a hoped-for hotel sellout, however.

With a progressive mayor who is a champion of the “One Fair Wage” campaign, it was never a matter of if, but when, Chicago eliminates the “sub-minimum wage” for tipped workers and how long restaurants would have to do it.

Twelve days after opening a probe into whether police officers had engaged in sexual misconduct with migrants at a West Side police station, investigators said they have yet to substantiate any claims against police, but their investigation remains open, and has led to a similar allegation at a second police station.

Civilian Office of Police Accountability chief administrator Andrea Kersten said that, on July 6, the agency received a report of an allegation of sexual misconduct involving at least one officer at the Ogden (10th) District station.

On Tuesday, FAA investigators will try to determine how the emergency slide fell out of a United Airlines plane right before it landed at O’Hare on Monday afternoon.

New video from a surveillance camera shows the plane flying overhead, and then, seconds later, you can see the slide falling from the sky before it landed in a neighborhood.

Instagram users in Illinois could possibly receive part of a $68 million dollar payout from a class-action lawsuit settlement.

The settlement stems from violations to Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act. The act prohibits companies from collecting and storing biometric information.
