Summary
In Illinois, its required to have both front and rear license plates on most vehicles. An officer can stop you if they believe a traffic violation occurred, regardless of their location when they observe the violation. To assist you in your FOIA request to the Illinois State Police, you might consider asking for the officer’s incident report, dashcam footage, bodycam footage, communication logs, any issued citations, and the officers training records. If they delay or deny your FOIA request again without valid reasons, you have the right to file a complaint with the Public Access Counselor (PAC) at the Illinois Attorney General’s Office. You may potentially sue for monetary damages under the Illinois FOIA if you can prove that the violation directly impacted your case and caused harm.Full Conversation

They stated the fois I rrequested would eat up too many of their resouces there =fore had no time to sendfd it then I inquired again and they said that due to privace concerns they could not send it..Then they said i would need to pay for the foia and then get in a waiting list which I know was BS because FOIA supposed to be free and available....I have al of that in writing from them...So what if they try that stupidity a second time
