They were at the Carol Stream ice skating rink. There was an officer in the middle of the road with an orange vest. If he saw that you were not wearing a seatbelt, he flagged you into the parking lot. While in the parking lot they conducted other checks if any suspicion arose such as drinking or drug use, or invalid liscence.
