i personally see nothing with stating that you have to catch x amount of illigal activity. it's then up to the officer on patrol to locate the activity.
it's a whole different issue if cops are using the quota as an excuse to write up false or questionable tickets...
the other side to the equation is how do they find these people? drive around alot more... and that spends more gas... which may negate the amount of money being pulled in from the tickets themselves.
hopefully it's done right.

That's an insightful way to look at it. If the quotas reflect reality, it might not be so bad. With the population in NYC and the number of bad drivers (also the population of NYC), it is possible that there are plenty of legitimate violations there.
