The Chicago Sewers: Kimball Sidewalk Manhole (Gallery 28)

This is not Kimball tunnel! Kimball is a North-South street, this is a East-West tunnel. It doesn't seem to be a street sewer so it doesn't really have a name.

I did not take good photos of the tunnel in the tunnel, so I had to go back the next night after viewing the photos that didn't turn out good and get some new ones.

12:21 a.m.

12:22 a.m.

I noticed that when viewing the photos on my laptop, the images look darker, than on my school's computer, so try not viewing these photos on a laptop screen.

Shortly after the above photo was taken, in less than half a minute or so, cops were at the top with the flashlights down, and I was shortly arrested.

For now, see my Facebook for details.

Arrested at 12:22 a.m. by C.P.D. clock.

Very few things in the appellate court require only 1 judge's signature (so it doesn't matter if the other 3 oppose it). But for the majority of things, you need a majority's vote, so that's 3 of 4 judges. (And it doesn't have to be the 1st 3 judges, it can be the 1st 2nd and 4th, the 1st 3rd and 4th judge, 2nd 3rd and 4th judge, etc.).

Appeal to Illinois Supreme Court

Table of fees paid.

Venue	Cost	For
Cook County Office	$9.45 ($3.15/page)	Transcript, to give to Clerk
Clerk of Cook County Court	$110	Record of appeal, to give to Illinois Appellate Court
Illinois Appellate Court	$0	Criminal appeal
Illinois Appellate Court	$25*	Re-opening

Plus post office fees.

* Note that the re-opening fee in the Illinois Appellate Court could have been waived had I wrote a motion.

Also note that had the U.S. Supreme Court chose to accept my appeal, but denied my In Forma Pauperis (the other 2 federal courts did), then I would have had to pay $350 instead of $25. Plus other printing methods.

You may notice an irony here: Judge Posner here is turning down my bullet-proof vest, but yet he is later famous for his decision on supporting carrying guns outside the house, a move that disappointed Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Lisa Madigan, and so and so forth. He supports carring guns outside but had prior taken down the case with my bullet-proof vest (although actually not at all related).
