Prison Sentences for Crime Convictions
Illinois imposes severe penalties for all types of crimes, even if they are not violent. Here, even a felony theft of more than $300 can result in a felony conviction with a prison sentence.
How long are prison sentences for crimes? It will be a shorter term (relatively speaking) for your first offense, but aggravating factors may qualify you for a longer term. Aggravating factors include prior convictions, committing a hate crime, or committing a crime against a minor or an elderly person.
Can a police car catch you from behind while speeding?
Yes, with the front and rear radar units mentioned above, a police car can detect your exact speed when behind you. Not only do they have radars to show accurate speed, but a police officer is much more likely to notice and be aware of the general speed of a vehicle directly in front of them.
