Chicago Man Sues after Prostitution Arrest
It was Rocio Palacios who first noticed the woman who appeared to need help.
It was 8 a.m. when she and her husband, Erasmo, dropped their 6-year-old daughter off at school and had picked up their 22-year-old daughter to go out for breakfast when they saw the woman waving her arms at 53rd Street and Kedzie Avenue last November.
The Palacioses, of Chicago, claim the woman approached their car, parked outside Manolo's restaurant, leaned in to the passenger side where Rocio was sitting and asked Erasmo if he wanted oral sex for $20 or sex for $25.
The couple laughed, realizing this wasn’t a woman in distress after all.
But within seconds, Chicago police swarmed the family car, hauling Erasmo Palacios out in handcuffs. He was charged with solicitation of a prostitute
His daughter, who had just run in to exchange her coffee for a hot chocolate, screamed, while his wife cried in fear.
Eight hours later, Palacios, who has no criminal record, was released from custody. And weeks later, charges against him were dropped.
Now, Erasmo Palacios is suing the city and the officers involved in his arrest, saying they violated his civil rights during an incident he described as both frightening and ridiculous.
“I'm so lucky I was with my wife -- imagine if I had to try to tell her and she wasn't with me,” he said, before laughing at the image. “She'd never believe me. Never.”
A Chicago police report offers few details, saying only that it was Erasmo Palacios who asked for sex, never mentioning his wife in the car or his daughter nearby.
Attorneys Lonny Ben Ogus and Joe Cavanaugh also want to know what happened to the family's 1983 Mercedes. It was impounded that November day and, Palacios said, his wife and daughter were even threatened with arrest as they tried to stop police from taking it, as they were left stranded that morning.
The city wants more than $4,700 in towing and storage fees if he wants the car back.
City officials declined to comment on the status of the family's car and the Palacios case, while the undercover female officer involved in the arrest couldn't be reached.

once again the city will get their pants sued off but these types of law suits I believe are warranted and needed, its better than someone suing a local fast food restaurant for coffee that was "too hot" .
ok, well write this down then: "i'll see your ass in court!"

Remember this was brought to you by the politicians who enforce a COUNTY WIDE ban on handguns, prevent legally abiding citizens from carrying concealed from their own protection...but keep ARMED BODY GUARDS themselves.
Chicago was the origin of the phrase "Vote early, vote often" for a reason.
This town has been corrupt for so long, people don't even try to fix the problems anymore.
Classic Chicago story: Good friends of mine in highschool, were in Cicero trying to score some weed. Before they were able to, they were pulled over by the police. The cops pulled them out, beat the crap out of the three males and took my friend heather into custody. There was NOTHING illegal in their car (because they didn't score).
They gave the keys to the males, and sent them back to the suburbs with a warning never to return.
She went to a holding cell, where the occupants arranged with the guards to 'sell' her to another inmate. She was never charged, denied phone calls and denied a lawyer.
12 hours later when we still hadn't heard from her, we called the Naperville police who called the Cicero police, who then released her, an HOUR before she was supposed to get gang raped by the inmates down the hall.
A year later the Illinois State Police came in and shut down the entire cicero police force for misconduct and ran that department while they conducted a huge investigation that resulted in only a few people losing their jobs.
