To increase procedural justice for all residents and improve trust in communities of color
and under-resourced communities, our office will decline to prosecute possession of
contraband charge case when the charge is:
1. solely the product of a non-public-safety traffic stop; or
11. the result of searching a vehicle based solely on consent, without any other probable
cause; or
111. the result of searching a vehicle based solely on furtive movements, without any
other probable cause.
...
To aid in the implementation of this policy, we define a non-public-safety traffic stop any
one of the following violations:
i. Expired Vehicle Registration (625 ILCS 5/3-413(f)), including local municipal
registration
11. Missing front license plate (625 ILCS 5/3-4 l 3(a))
iii. License Plate Illumination (625 ILCS 5/12-20l(a), (b))
1v. Headlights, signal lights or rear lamp violations unless both headlights or both rear
brake lights are nonfunctioning (625 ILCS 5/12-201)
