CHICAGO, Dec. 14 (UPI) -- Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Wednesday he wants more security and tougher fines ready when expected protesters arrive for next spring's NATO and G-8 summits.
Emanuel introduced an ordinance that would permit police to deputize law enforcement personnel and bring in other law enforcement agencies. It also would hike the current $25 to $500 fine for resisting or obstructing a peace officer to $200 to $1,000 for each offense, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
