Pulaski County Circuit Clerk

It's really sad to see that a county is so poor (greedy) that it has to setup fake construction zones and speed traps to maintain their operating budget.nnIf you receive a ticket for speeding in a construction zone in Pulaski County, IL you will likely have to pay $812 to have your ticket reduced to a parking ticket, and you will have to pay at least half of your ticket by your 2nd Court appearance to be granted an extension.nnAccording to the county clerk your fine will go to collections if an extension is not granted. The county clerk said that would issue a warrant.nnAlso, don't bother with the local lawyers unless you cannot make your court appearances. They will offer the same $812 settlement to your lawyer.

Circuit Clerk, Stephanie, is incredibly rude. Was completely flabbergasted when she informed me over the phone she's an elected official. Talks like a teenager with no experience in service.nnI have lived in Indiana since 2012. I have renewed my Indiana license 3 times for change of address, etc. during that time. My license expired in June and was told I cannot renew because of an unpaid Illinois ticket from 2016. Called llinois and they (Stephanie of Pulaski county, specifically) very rudely told me I have a $150 ticket -- pay it or don't, no one will talk to me about a possible error. How in the world do they expect me to blindly pay them $150 for a 6 year old ticket I've never heard of prior?

Def fake construction zone, but on top of that the officer lied about my speed. If I’m wrong, then what have they been doing at MM18 for 10 years? Everyone knows very well what kind of racket you have. Since Illinois doesn’t know how to run a balanced budget state, they take it out on the people passing through. Everyone knows and everyone is in on it. The local lawyers even. I hope you get exposed and your socialist state, especially Pulaski County, falls in a sinkhole. Just very unethical.

Someone explain to me how Stephanie L. Crain has a job here. RUDE isn’t even a strong enough word to use for her. I recorded our whole conversation and I’m appalled at how she speaks to people!

Fake construction zone run by sheriff's department. Total speed trap for town. 750 for ticket. Told to Pay an extra 150 to have the ticket changed to a non moving violation to keep off record. For total of 900. Seems illegal? But it is Illinois after all!
