4.the cops have fallen far the last few decades. too much revenue focus, nepotism and corruption. serve and protect isn't what it used to be. |
I broke your quote up to answer it easier
1. Yes we have quotas, they don't want officers not having anything to do. We aren't always call, to call, to call.
2. No, we don't have to generate any amount of money. This is the most misunderstood part of law enforcement. When I write a ticket...my department gets $1.28 back from it of the $120. The city gets $15. State and courts get the rest. We write 500 tickets a year. Sorry, $650/year isn't helping pay 75 officers salaries like the public believes. It all goes to educating the public at schools and such.
3. I have never in my life heard of anyone ever getting promoted due to how many tickets are written. Dafuq?
4. That's the west. The west needs some serious help.
