Replying to:

There's nothing illegal about posting information about Wiedersberg's Law inside or outside a taxicab.

However, adding "UTCC" and contact information, however small the print, will likely be considered "advertising", if objected to.

I suggest that the "UTCC" re-issue stickers that simply contain the safety information, as I intend to do.

Beyond that important detail, I agree with Mr. Nathan's sentiments on this issue. A public awareness and official education campaign is needed.

Proactive prevention through deterence is more effective and easier than reactionary outrage after the fact. We need to get ahead of the curve.

Also, nothing which obstructs the view of the meter for passengers is permissible. I suggest that cabdrivers apply or re-apply their "safety signs" below the plexiglass, not on it.

Replying to:

For the life of me, I cannot understand how anyone could think of the UTCC signs citing the Wiedersberg Law as "clutter". In the words of Dr. Laura: "What could you be thinking", Commissioner Reyes?

Every police officer in the City of Chicago and throughout the Metro area and every State's Attorney in Northeast Illinois needs active education in this new law. There shouldn't have to be a monumental effort to make every time a Stanley Shen is attacked viciously.

I'm hoping that a copy of the lawsuit in the Shen matter along with a judgment order with a print out of the law can be sent to every State's Attorney's office with the proceeds of that civil litigation that might go beyond Stanley's bills and lost wages. We need to do whatever we can to educate the police and the prosecutors.

Thank you, Concerned Cabbie, for reminding us all of how important that goal is.

I would ask you to give that warning posters to cabbies at airport and resturants and cab companies so drivers can post it in the back.

anyone who wishes could cut off the information about the UTCC from the placard and then post it like that. the important thing is to inform the public. we would also like to applaud the few drivers we've seen that have posted it on their trunks.

peter enger

where is the poster? i want to post it in back of my sheild.

but please take off UTCC info.

I support and like UTCC but we don't need their add on this poster and tell this to the city so maybe this racist and unfair city may agree.

you can look for any of our organizers at Ohare almost any day, or call the UTCC phone number to get a safety placard. you can cut off the info about UTCC if you want. 773 774 UTCC

Your fellow drivers at O'Hare gave me a red sticker. I encourage all to get one and post it. It sure can't hurt. Fatlu Hall.
