Was that wrong?

Quiz yourself. Do you know what's legal or illegal in Chicago? Leave how you did in the comments! (If you  need a cheat sheet, check out RedEye's cover story today.)


You wake up at the crack of dawn, drag yourself out of bed and stumble outside to let your dog do his dirty business. The deed is done and you reach into your pocket for a baggie when--damn! Forgot the baggie. So you leave your doggie bomb on the grass and head home.
Question: Are you breaking the law?
Answer: Does a dog squat on the neighbor's lawn? Of course you broke the law!
OK, that's an easy one, but the quiz gets a lot tougher in today's RedEye cover story. While we're clearing up the gray areas in Chicago law, tell us: Which laws tick you off? Or, better yet, what is legal that should be worthy of a fine or jail time? Speak up, Chicago!

Nice post. I am embarrassed to admit I got a few of these wrong. Yeesh.

You're a brave man to admit that, Joe! I didn't think you could wear headphones and bike, actually. Maybe legal, but not sure how smart it is...

I have to admit the doggie bomb example in my post was ripped straight from my life. Maybe this is gross, but when I forget the baggie (which happens way too often) I usually can find something blowing around the streets to pick up after my dog. Once I used a discarded Starbucks cup that was laying on the sidewalk. But the times I've got nothing, I feel so guilty that the next time I walk the dog, I head back to that spot and pick up after him. So I guess I'm breaking the law, but only for a few hours.
