That is traffic citations, not arrest contests.
I've heard about the quota's, clear back in the late 60's when I first starting driving.
I find "revenue" policing almost as bad as corruption.
Peace

I'd rather feel protected then have police running around snaring people for anything under the sun.
Yes, I'd rather have them eat donuts then have arrest contests. Damn, at least one is American, the other is not.
Peace

sorry to tell you, this kind of stuff has been going on for decades. don't you hear that the number traffic tickets are higher towards the end of of the month because the cops have to make thier 'quota'. they really do have 'quotas' which are determined by the amount of revenue they need. i was told this by a friend of my mom's whose a cop.

Since you turned your back on America and moved to China you should not worry so much about US law enforcement until you stop your beloved Chinese Communists from executing people in record numbers, even for non violent crimes. The latest trend in your beloved China is the death van, a vehicle that has been rigged as a portable death chamber, and linked to the organ sale industry. When a rich man in China needs a transplant he doesn't have to wait long. The government looks for a "criminal" who is a good match for the rich man and that "criminal" is killed and the organs harvested so the rich man will have his transplant.
Jim, you are a fraud. Would you rather get a speeding ticket from an L.A. cop. or have your organs harvested by a Chinese Communist cop? You disgust me when you use the word "peace" at the end of everything you write here. Those of us who are aware of the reality of your beloved Communist China know that the only peace there is for the powerful and the dead. What a fraud you are Commie Jimmy.
A gunshot to the back of the head is currently the most common means of execution for the thousands of "criminals" killed every year in Jim's China. The Chinese official who shoots the "criminal" tells him to open his mouth so the bullet will pass through the mouth and not destroy his face. Jim, do your beloved Chinese Communists also sell used faces?

I feel you. Kinda like how on my way to work at 7am I'll see 6 cops (literally) sitting on the side of the road trying to get people speeding, or going straight in turn only lanes. Thats it, thats what they do! Pull over people trying to get to work!! But then when some crazy man was outside my Mother's house, trying to jiggle the door nob, it took them 40 mins (yes, literally) to come. Probably bc they were all busy pulling people over. Just trying to get $$! That's all that is.

This is difficult, on the one hand ppl don't like to see the cops drinking coffee and eating donuts doing fu..k all however on the other hand we also don't like to see them snaring ppl maybe they should do fu..k all on odd days and give tickets on even days. Sunday is of course day off. At the very least in this land of the free, its comforting to know that they are there when needed.

America is not fascist. USA is. You stole the name America to the other 39 nations that form it to do horrible things with it by your daily propaganda. We have to get a new name for the continent. You can keep America, you stained it already.

You are correct... these peace officers wanna-be-tax-collectors are completely out of line and off the mark of their oath.
The fact they mask the goal in something like border or migration control is just that... masking.

Sounds like a nice incentive program to increase productivity. Would you rather have them just sitting around drinking coffee at Krispy Kreme?

Not to change the subject, but do you speak Chinese? Fluently? Just curious.

"It's just a friendly competition to have a little fun out here," said Lt. James Tatreau... . "It's a morale booster."
doesn't really boost my moral.

Sweet. At least I know the police are motivated.
