But look at it one way: your ticket just might go to pay to fill a pothole somewhere...or maybe not.
The quota thing that every one thinks law inforcment officers have to follow is nothing but a big urban myth. There is no so called ticket quota that officers have to follow that says how many tickets they have to write each month. How do I know this? Simple, I asked the police departments in 5 differant cities, 2 of them are in 2 other states. I also asked 3 differant state patrol departments in 3 differant states, & 4 differant county sheriffs departments, 2 of those are in 2 differant states. Everyone had the same answer, it is a big untrue urban myth. And no one knows where or how it even got started. So the fact that redfooj got a ticket had nothing to do with the so-called quota.
