That's a FACT!! Don't blame the cops. Blame the suck azz bosses that shove it down their throats at every chance.
it strikes me that a number of people responding on this thread don't seem to understand the huge damage a single arrest can cause to a persons whole life.
Our prison system is extremely dangerous, men are raped , beaten and abused just while awaiting trial. Why on earth should any human being be treated like that for a minor infraction of the law , when we know damn well that if he was white he would not be searched and if searched would not end up in jail for a pocket knife.
Americans appear to support this ongoing inhumanity to our fellow citizens. Our prisons are overflowing with people who are no better or worse than our kids, but instead of a stern warning they get locked up beaten up and repeatedly raped..
I am not saying bad guys should walk free, I am saying we need to improve our prisons and reserve them for actual criminals and stop destroying lives over non violent minor crimes.
We have no quotas,, they are against the law... however.. if youre a traffic car and you cannot write one ticket in 8 hours you will soon be on inmate trash patrol watching flowers grow
Motivating ..hunh
so you are saying that cops DO in fact have quotas, but they are "unwritten" rules, so magically ok...

Different states my brother
California law prohibits quotas... this came out of the stink raised by citizens and officers alike
That being said
We can still write as many as we want
I have always written a couple a day even as a crime car every day of my adult life
1) Because its my job to identify unsafe drivers.. easy to do seeing 5-50k cars a day
2) So some puke defense attorney cant say all I do is stop people "fishing"
3) Because effective use of it will increase safety in that area
4) So I could justify my big expensive police car to all the citizens
5) Because in my 480 minutes of a shift every minute is logged electronically and as a supervisor I would look at the logs of every other policeman on duty and query them if they were just driving around... we get paid to police not be purdy
6) Slugs can go work McDonalds

Are you sharing personal experiences with us... or just a general concept?
Yes ..prison can be dangerous.. dangerous people locked up with dangerous people can be dangerous
We cite out all "minor infractions of the law".. pretty much sentenced inmates and felonies are jailed anymore..
I arrested people all the time for knives.. especially on school grounds.. as many people in my career have been killed with a knife as a gun....
No better or worse than whose kids?... no one I know has kids in jail...
In California we opened our doors and sent inmates back to counties.. counties didnt have the funding the state promised them so they got early releases.. hence crime has skyrocketed
Non violent minor crime... like what/// if youre a victim some things arent so minor
You dont want to be someones bubba dont be a dip****

Um....you either ignored or missed the point...again.
New York law also prohibits police quotas.
The other officer stated quotas still exist even though they are not legal. He even posted an article about an officer who was harassed by other officers when he was about to testify in front of a jury that his precinct used quotas.
If you want to be taken seriously, you really have to get past the idea that every police department is like the one in your little corner of the country.
When you don't pay your servants a living wage you are bound to get some bad apples
$41,975 a year
New officers in the NYPD receive a starting base salary of $41,975 a year. However, their total salary amounts to $44,744 with the inclusion of holiday pay, uniform allowance and average night-shift differential. Police officers also receive compensation for any overtime they work.
How does one make it in a city that requires 100k plus a year to live...........a little graft........a little skimming.......
LA metro where I live and it cost less than NYC..........but not much starting pay for LAPD is
$57,420
LAPD Annual Salaries - January 2015. Upon entering the academy, the starting base salary for Police Officer I shall be $57,420. The officer will earn this rate until graduation from the Police Academy.
That said cops from any dept. or precinct should be held accountable for their actions.........and should be thanked for doing a stressful BS job that most would never do including me so thanks.
