Then only Cops will run guns to Mexico. Chicago cop used his badge to buy guns for Mexican smuggler: feds - CWB Chicago
Federal prosecutors are accusing a Chicago cop of using his status as a law enforcement officer to buy guns for an accomplice who funneled them to Mexico.
In a newly unsealed indictment, a grand jury charges Officer Kevin Rodriguez and his co-defendant, Diego Valdez, with running an illegal gun pipeline between September and December 2024.
It seems that the Illinois AR-15 ban doesn't apply to cops. But the federal rule against straw purchases still apply to him.
The indictment alleges Rodriguez used his CPD credentials to buy restricted weapons in Illinois and Indiana, then falsely claimed on federal paperwork that he was the “actual buyer.” Investigators say Valdez was the real customer.
Valdez then took the guns to Mexico.
Chicago PD. Putting "criminal" in Criminal Justice System at least since the days of Jon Burge.
