Sheriff Dart is at it again.
You may remember Cook County, Illinois Sheriff Dart from early this year. He was the one that was trying to protect innocent renters in the Chicago, Illinois area. Sheriff Dart is grabbing headlines again by using a scheme to lure people that have outstanding criminal warrants. Law enforcement notoriously have a difficult time capturing individuals that have outstanding warrants for low level crimes. Typically, an individual is not arrested for these type of warrants unless they are stopped by law enforcement for some reason. What Sheriff Dart did and other government agencies do is lure gullible people by promising them a reward for their attendance. In past years, individuals have been promised holiday gifts, television sets and cash rewards.
Please take care of any warrant you may have because it will cost you much more in in the long run. You would not believe how many felony cases are filed because the person being arrested for the traffic warrant has some type of illegal substance. Think about the cost of that traffic warrant versus paying for an additional warrant for the new charge, hiring an attorney, and your time going to court for both charges.
