Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s motorcade was pulled over for multiple speeding and traffic violations – despite lawmakers calling for tougher penalties for drivers who go too fast.

Lightfoot SUVs have since February 2020 been involved in at least eight incidents, and since May 2021 have received three speed camera tickets and two warnings, plus one red light ticket.

None of the fines – now totaling $658 – have been paid, CCB Chicago reported.

Footage first discovered by the CWB shows several incidents involving the cars. In one clip, two Ford Expedition SUVs drive through a set of red lights, with a traffic camera flashing in their wake.

In another, a black Chevy SUV can be seen turning left at a red light at a large intersection. It is unknown if Lightfoot was in SUVs at the time, although she did not drive them in either case.

The revelations come as Lightfoot, who took over in May 2019, continues to push to lower the ‘buffer zone’ threshold allowed by speed cameras before issuing a citation.

It used to be 10mph, but last year she ordered it reduced to 6mph, arguing it would make the roads safer.

“Nobody likes speed cameras. I get it,” she said last month.

“But it’s life and death we’re talking about here, and we need to step up as a city and fix this.”

She has also repeatedly highlighted the threat to children posed by speeding near schools.

“It is unacceptable for any member of city council to consider voting to allow a speed increase near spaces used by our children,” Lightfoot said.

Last week she added: ‘It makes no sense for us to increase speed around parks and schools when we know what the horrific consequences are for pedestrians and other drivers.

Yet official Lightfoot vehicles have themselves been caught driving through school zones.

In February 2020, one of his vehicles passed Jones College Prep at 39 mph resulting in a warning being issued.

The following year, on January 21, his SUV ran a red light at 5:45 a.m.

On May 20, 2021, his two SUVs passed Samuel Gompers Park at 39 mph, prompting another speed warning.

On July 30, 2021, his motorcade passed Orr Academy High School at 43 mph.

A speed camera ticket was issued, which is now $244 and remains unpaid, the website reported.

On October 10, 2021, one of his vehicles turned left at a red light, resulting in a $244 ticket and a “notice of seizure” for the vehicle.

The following month, on November 5, one of Lightfoot’s SUVs received a warning for driving through Washington Park at 39 mph, while on her way to a COVID press conference at a children’s hospital.

Four months later, on March 9 of this year, her SUVs drove through the same location and she was fined $70 – which remains unpaid.

And last month it passed Samuel Gompers Park again – this time at 41mph. The $100 note remains unpaid.

In 2020, Chicago Tribune reported that the City of Chicago rejected the majority of tickets issued to Lightfoot’s security team, which included tickets given at times when the mayor was attending non-city related events.

The Illinois Policy Institute, a libertarian think tank, found that Chicago issued 3.8 million speeding tickets, generating nearly $80 million in revenue for the city since Lightfoot lowered the threshold to 6 mph last year.

Lightfoot’s office said the mayor herself was not responsible for her drivers and “has repeatedly insisted on detailed road safety and that running red lights is never okay.”

The statement read: “The Mayor’s detail is responsible for the safety and security of Mayor Lightfoot.

“Members of the mayor’s detail are trained in various safety and security techniques to keep the mayor safe, which includes keeping both vehicles in formation during the ride.”

Lightfoot’s team said the fines were not paid because there was an “administrative process” to review the fines.

“Payment is not collected until this process is complete,” the town hall said.

“Individual members of the mayor’s detail are responsible for payment of tickets incurred while driving.”
