Chicago Police officers from the Special Operations Section (SOS), a now defunct unit, raided Mexican bars on the south side.

The officers illegally searched bar patrons inside the bar, recovered narcotics, and arrested the patrons. The police immediately damaged the video cameras in the tavern, seemingly destroying evidence of their illegal raid.

However, a secret surveillance system captured the illegal searches causing the court to dismiss all of the felony drug cases. Mr. Levy’s associate sued the police and recovered damages. The prosecutor dismissed the felony drug charges against his clients.

Several of the officers later involved in the raid later went to jail, and the police were forced to disband the notorious SOS.
