Cop found not guilty of improperly seizing, inventorying guns while on patrol

A Cook County judge has recently acquitted Chicago Police Officer Daniel Fair of all charges related to improperly seizing and inventorying firearms while on patrol. This decision marks another setback for prosecutors who have been facing challenges in securing convictions against Chicago police officers.

The allegations against Officer Fair were brought to light in a memo dated March 3, 2023, from the chief administrator of Chicago’s police oversight agency, COPA, to then-CPD Supt. David Brown. The memo detailed a complaint from a woman who alleged that two Chicago police officers seized a firearm from her fanny pack while she was waiting for a bus with her boyfriend and children on October 5, 2021.

According to the woman, one of the officers told her that they understood why she had the weapon and allowed her to leave, but kept the firearm. COPA’s investigation revealed video footage of the incident and squad car GPS data placing Officer Fair’s vehicle at the scene during the stop.

In another incident on June 15, 2021, Fair and another officer conducted a search of a vehicle occupied by a former parolee and a female passenger. They allegedly found a large sum of cash and a backpack containing what appeared to be a significant amount of cannabis. However, no arrest report or inventory report was documented for this incident.

Furthermore, Fair was implicated in a third case in which he and two other officers stopped a man in the street who admitted to having a gun in his fanny pack. Body camera footage captured Fair discussing “F/P,” a term believed to stand for found property, before turning off his camera. Later that night, one of the officers involved in the stop inventoried a gun that closely resembled the one seized from the man earlier.

Despite these allegations, a grand jury returned a true bill against Fair in August 2023, charging him with official misconduct and obstruction of justice. However, following a bench trial, Judge Ursula Walowski found him not guilty on all charges.

This case adds to a series of failed prosecutions against Chicago police officers in recent years. Several officers, including Christopher Hillas, Bruce Dyker, Christopher Liakopoulos, Ruben Reynoso, Michael Vitellaro, Wilfredo Roman, Melvina Bogard, Angel Escobedo, and others, have been acquitted of various charges ranging from battery to official misconduct.

The challenges faced by prosecutors in securing convictions against police officers highlight the complexities and difficulties of holding law enforcement accountable for their actions. As the legal system continues to grapple with these issues, the need for transparency, accountability, and justice remains paramount in ensuring the integrity of law enforcement practices.
