Father Miloš Vesin: The Priest Stopped 147 Times by Police Who Never Paid a Fine!
Have you ever heard of a man who was stopped by the police in America an unbelievable 147 times, yet never paid a single fine? No, he’s not an action movie hero, but the real protoierejstavrofor Miloš Vesin, a priest who left an indelible mark on the Serbian community in Chicago for decades.
Speed, urgency, and… police escort?
Father Miloš is no ordinary driver. He drove up to 70 km/h in a zone where the speed limit was 35 miles per hour (about 50 km/h). And every time he was stopped, he had a reason — not an excuse. Once, while rushing to St. Luke’s hospital, a police officer stopped him and asked, “Where are you rushing to?” Father Miloš replied that he was going to the hospital because a man was dying. Instead of giving him a ticket, the officer turned on his siren, led him ahead to the hospital, and the family thanked him for arriving on time.
A cop with a heart of gold
Moved by the scene, the officer gave him his business card and said, “Whenever you need a police escort, call me. If not me, one of my colleagues will escort you.” This is not just a story about speeding and fines, but about humanity in a system that often seems cold and heartless.
A book about 30 years of madness on the road
Father Miloš announced that the first book he will write in retirement will be titled “Chicago Police and Me.” Imagine — 147 stops, every time for the same reason: speeding, but always with a reason that justified his rush. This is the story of a man who managed to deal with the system and remind us that behind every uniform stands a human being.
Why does this story entertain and inspire us?
Imagine how many times Father Miloš could have paid a fine and been angry at the police, but he chose a different path — a path of understanding and cooperation. In a world where we often clash with authorities, his story is like a fresh breeze reminding us that even in the toughest situations, understanding is possible.
