Tim, the law change in Illinois is aimed at not having to go to court 
for enforcement.  The Law in Illinois permits the police to impound a 
car from your driveway if it has been inoperable for 30 days unless it 
is 25 years or older.  The only thing the law change accomplishes is 
allowing police to do the same thing.  Most of the requests come from 
zoning departments.

Working with a zoning department around here is like having all your 
teeth pulled. They are constantly trying to change the law so they 
don't have to go to court.  A couple of years ago, they tried to pass a 
law allowing the zoning departments to enter your home, without a court 
order,  to see if your structure is being used in accordance with 
zoning.
