Halloween morning wreck - more (or less)

Early on Halloween morning (4:00AM) there was a wreck in McHenry County, when a driver rolled his pick-up onto its roof.

Was he injured? The report of the McHenry County Sheriff's Department says that the driver told the deputy that he was "okay", and the report reads that he was treated and released at the scene. The type of crash reported on the Crash Report is "B Injured."

The report of the Woodstock Fire Rescue District says he refused treatment, and the "Casualties" box is left uncompleted. The "Person Involved" information fields are blank, which means they either were not completed with the driver's name or the information was redacted. If it had been redacted, there probably would have been an entry on the report so stating.

Hoping to see evidence of the driver's condition, I ordered a copy of the in-car video from Dep. Dillon's squad car. I figured that he would have run "hot" to a reported roll-over crash during the 12 minutes that it took him to respond. Any in-car videocamera should operate as soon as the emergency lights are activated.

The response to my FOIA request was that there is no in-car video during the two-hour period of his response, time on-scene or transporting the driver to his home. I had hoped the audio would pick up conversation between the deputy and the driver that might reveal speech patterns.

The in-car audio during videocamera operation (had emergency lights been in use) also would have picked up the deputy's voice during any cell phone conversations while enroute to the scene. It is common knowledge that deputies use cell phones for off-police-frequency communications.

Did the deputy know before arrival that the driver of the crashed truck was an employee of the McHenry County Sheriff's Department?

You obviously figured them out Gus.

You’re just too smart and figured out that the MCSO has resorted to secret tactics to avoid tipping you off. The secret mission starts in the radio room. See when ever a member of law enforcement is involved in an accident, someone in communications will just CRAP ( COUNTY RADIO AVOIDANCE PROTOCOL) and everyone switches to cell phones. When CRAP is utilized the it is usually due to the FART (Fake Accident Report Team) but often the Fart requires a (SHIT) SHERIFF’S HIGHWAY INTERVENTION TEAM. If SHIT hits the FAN. (FAKE ACCIDENT NARRATIVES) and SHIT takes over the accident, well it all over before the secret info call goes out to Gus. But then the blogs begin.

Understand now Gus?

Thanks, Justin. Got it! And all by the CALEA book, I'll betcha.

NO Gus CALEA comes under another function. CALEA is the acronym for CONVOLUTING ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT ACCIDENTS. As part of HOT SHIT. (HOODWINK OBNOXIOUS TABLOIDS -SHERIFF’S HIGHWAY INTERVENTION TEAM) These guys are really good.

When the SHIT hits the FAN (FAKE ACCIDENT NARRATIVES) it’s clearly going to involve CRAP ( COUNTY RADIO AVOIDANCE PROTOCOL) You see Gus ,this is necessary to prevent you from hearing the squad radio calls. All CALEA reports then go into the GUS file (GULLIBLE, UNSCRUPULOUS & SANCTIMOUNIOUS).

GUS reports are only released to the Woodstock Advocate. Wait I believed the McHenry CO Blog also may receive these on a limited basis.

Hope this helps you figure out the mysteries of why these reports are so hard for you to understand.


Don't eat too much "TURKEY".
