<p>It's going to be interesting to see how all of this plays out with regard to auto parking and traffic infractions. Right now, Chicago and even the state are heading in a different direction for both moving and non-moving violations. These measures reduce the "disincentives" for illegal parking, red-light running and so forth by taking some of the teeth out of the enforcement abilities and penalties. …</p>

<p>Much of this started around city stickers for autos, but it has expanded a bit into parking, red-light cams and so forth. Part of the rationale was this: <span>Fully 75 percent of license suspensions for failure to pay parking tickets and accumulated debt went to drivers in lower-income zip codes, and 78 percent went to drivers in minority zip codes. </span></p>
<p><span>The new democratic governor signed off on this bill which right or wrong gave a nod to the importance of the car regarding the work force, and I imagine the tax base. Somebody out of work doesn't pay taxes, instead collects benefits which as we've explored elsewhere exacerbates the municipal economic problems in the region.</span></p>

<p>I think it was autocheck.com. That's in my browser history, and it does give the results. There are several similar sites. It just gives the info on the car itself, not who's registered.</p>
