So I was not here last week this project was assigned, however, I feel the story that I am a part of will work. In my first week of living of chicago, a little more than a year ago now, I was traveling the city on the "L". I am also an avid smoker, and more than occasionally smoke a ciggerate. So not knowing that it was illegal, me and my two friends decided since we were on an outside platform there should be no reason why we can't have a nice ciggerate. However, about five minutes later, we were all handcuffed to one another and than to a bench. Instead of explaining to us what we had done, the officers dressed in outfits that made them look like they were bad undercover cops from the 90's gave us a court date and an 80 dollar ticket.
