Here Come the Quotas

Quota based policing, coming to a district near you. And how will they encourage you to participate? By not allowing you to work Special Employment unless you generate numbers!

That's right. No contract for 3 years, no raises for 3.5 years (excluding step raises). Taxes through the roof. Fees and fines jacked up. The cost of living out of control. But if you want to get a little breathing room by working special, you better have numbers:
  • Movers
  • Parkers
  • Curfew/School Absentee
  • Contact Cards
  • Misdemeanor & Felony totals
No more seniority. All graded by the numbers. And how are they going to suck you in? They're going to set the bar low so as to show you, "Look, it isn't so bad. You can get Special just by doing the barest of minimums." And after 6 months or a year, they'll start to inch it up, and there you have it. Inside spots will be graded on what they pull in during the "grace" period prior to full implementation.

Quotas lead to bad police work and are a loser in court:
  • Officer, is it true that by not arresting/ticketing/citing a certain number of citizens every month, you are denied opportunities to earn additional money? What is to say that my client was anything but a "head number" so you could line your own pockets?
This has bad news written all over it. Anyone else see it?
