Which if you watch the movie, the Bluesmobile was completely through the intersection before it changed to red. In the State of Illinois; only a vehicle's front tires need to be past the white line that marks the start of the intersection in order to legally have made the light.

Commander 57 ◊ 2011-07-28 02:05	Oh no. That Lincoln is in the '75 to '79 range.
somename ◊ 2011-07-28 02:07	^If the reflector between the tail lights is clear as it appears to be then it's a 78 or 79 Continental.
maxman ◊ 2012-09-09 05:01	It wouldn't surprise me if that were a new Continental, since the suburb they're in is a rather affluent community. somename wrote ^But actually right up the street from the intersection Elwood allegedly ran a red.

In other words, the cop was just being a dick. Incidentally, the cops were Illinois State Troopers, not CPD, so they had no jurisdiction there. -- Last edit: 2012-09-10 05:19:04

Still, Elwood was driving with a suspended licence.

I dont know about Illinois policy, but Id assume state police have traffic enforcement privilages anywhere in the state. And since its a suburb, CPD wouldnt have jurisdiction either. But ISP probably have more than CPD.
