All the time, everyday, all day. Planting drugs is the norm, not the exception.

Could be an arrest quota. Could be a desire for OT. Could be a desire to make detective. Or a hatred for the suspect. Only the cop knows.

Cops here have had a ticket quota in the past, don't know about now. My brother is a cop and did not like it.

In our anti crime unit they had a quota on how many felonies arrests had to be made monthly. You make less than your quota you would find yourself back on patrol and in uniform. No detective track for you either.

Here in a town of 8,000, they had to write some for non existent crimes.

And...thats a problem. Seriously, incentives to cheat will cause it. And criminal charges ruin lives. Its good to see you post this. It makes me happy to see folks involved in law enforcement-even if retired-care about justice.

He's listed as a witness on about 53 other cases as well. One of the reasons I roll my eyes at "crime stats". I'll stop there cuz I could go on a huge rant.

I would assume those will all be dismissed.

Yes, this happens every day all across the country. LE is off the chain. It gotten truly scary. Folks are better off not calling on LE for anything. There's just no confidence in police any more. If you call them for a crime,they show up and then fish for a reason to arrest you. Sheesh, what's to be done with this?
