I got an uncle who was a cop for 30 years so I asked him apparently when you fill out 2 complete ticket books you get a choice of either an all expense paid trip to the bathroom or another ticket book to fill out tickets in but apparently some of the guys like my uncle were really slick and able to get both and no one caught on to their scheme. |

Seeing the look on someone's face, when they get the hammer dropped on them, is compensation enough. |

Not where I come from. That would be corrupt and NYC is too ******* liberal you can't even get a free cup of coffee. |

No! They just enjoy the work. Hey! If your not doing something stupid, you won't get tickets. |

My court day was on my day off for a few years, it was like my extra job to show up and get paid double time. So in a way, yes. I wrote tons of tickets during that time. Once it was changed to my duty time to save money in the budget I slowed way down. |

Not here in Ohio....
but my husband said if he isn't writing tickets it looks like they aren't doing their jobs. There is no quota, and as the one who does all the bills around here I can assure you he doesnt get extra pay or "bonuses" despite what other think.
Imagine for a sec if you were a cop that never wrote tickets... your boss would think you were parking and sleeping somewhere or playing on the computer all night. |

The answer is no. The money collected from infractions goes to the state through the court system. |

No, and there's no such thing as a "ticket quota" saying they need to write a specific amount of tickets every month. However, when you are in a meeting with your shift and one member of the shift has written 40 tickets and you wrote 8, naturally, it is not going to look as good on you as it does for the person who wrote the 40.
Officers also all have union contracts-there are no incentives based off of performance-its their job to meet specific requirements and perform certain duties. |

no, that how productivity is measured though....how else could you prove what you were doing for a whole 8 hours and 35 minutes if you didnt write any tickets? |

No that is illegal now. Some departments did to that years ago. My first job as a officer I got a percent of the traffic tickets written |

No, but they might get a little something extra for the tickets they DON'T give! |

Sure - you can even SAVE money if you offer it to them when you get stopped!!!
Geez - I was just joking. |

they say no, but they sure do seem like they do.
it could be like they still get their pay, but they get a 'bonus' for writing tickets |

Yes, there is a kind of commission system.
The high production examples get more money, more perks, better cars, newer uniforms, bigger guns. They also
get promotions. |

not for each ticket but yes in total for the amount of tickets, such as a goal, this is both understandable but unfair, becuase that means they are screwed if they havent been around for enough tikets to write so some even write tickets for false occurences just to meet this goal whcih is unfair to theose honest drivers getting cheated |
|

davidge

YES!!! otherwise police wouldn't be motivated to give many tickets |
