Police Quotas

Someone asked me recently whether I thought cops had a quota of tickets to write every month.

This is an interesting question and one that pops up fairly often. What do you think?

Do cops really have a quota? Like, do they have to write so many tickets, or else? And you know the "or else". The stock yards on the midnight shift...

My answer? Nahhh, cops don't have quotas. They can write as many tickets as they want!
