After what, 10 years and only when threatened with job loss? Of course none of the surrounding towns or county, or state officers were unaware of this happening and they are sting out of it. On that scale it has to be common knowledge. From my reading of it , the quota was in place but never used until about four years ago . Then it was challenged by officers.

AT one point in my life i seriously considered becoming a cop. It seemed the only thing i was qualified for with my military job. I decided after much thought that i just couldnt do the job as upholding alot of laws went against my moral code and i just couldnt do it. I couldnt bust someone for something i thought was a stupid law. I got lots of respect for law enforcement, im not a cop hater by any means. But too many local cops getting busted for immoral behavior does leave a sour taste in my mouth for them at the same time.
Around here we have always suspected there was some sort of quota the cops were trying to fulfill. Closer it gets to the end of the month the more cops you would see around pulling people over and similar stuff.

I spent a lot of years working in that state and I loved it and most of the people I meet there. With that said its the worst place I've ever been as far as corruption, especially with law enforcement. And its usually not the patrolmen or deputies that cause it. Its the mayors and sheriffs and other elected officials who use the justice system exactly as stated in the article, not to mention other things. Lots of that stuff is common knowledge down there, but you go rocking the boat then you or maybe your wife or your child gets stopped and wow you got 2 ounces of meth under ya seat. Seen it happen.
That's why I tell people local elections in your area are IMPORTANT! Get the wrong councilmen, mayor or sheriff and you can bet the police force will eventually turn into wise guys on ya,
Personal Accountability. That would fix most of our problems.

So defend it not pick it apart. How many were arrested, have criminal records, lost jobs? Well from your article, it says suits are pending including federal ones . Feel free to peruse your own post. I guess I'm not getting your outrage. Department said meet quotas , several officers said "nope".

law enforcement for 33 years never had a quota to fill. If a person needed arrested they were some went to jail some were summons to court. If a youth could be given a break they were officer used common sense.

Yes good on the cops who exposed it. What bothers me is I didn't see where the officials demanding it or the cops participating have been criminally charged. Did I miss that someplace?

I guess I'm not getting your outrage. Department said meet quotas , several officers said "nope". Illinois passed a law a few years ago that stated no LE will be under a "quota" system. All the cops I know always said there was no quota that applied to the number of citations they wrote. Now when I see them, I have to ask, if there was no quota system in place, why did the legislature and governor enact a law against a quota system? LOL!

Dad of a friend was an OHP trooper. I was told there is no quota on issuing citations. But they are required to have a certain number of contacts per day... Basically prove that they weren't sitting in their cruisers sleeping all day. Lol
