Here is a very pro-cop article that backs up with a study, exactly how they have a minimum amount of citations that they are to write each shift.Originally Posted by blaknoize

Remember - this is a pro-cop article which is biased for them. Even then it focuses on revenue.
To all others - I have no problem with cops writing tickets, but don't kid yourself - they are not doing it because they get a warm and fuzzy feeling "to protect and to serve". They are writing tickets because they are told to by their superiors. Do you really think that the departments could get their funding from the city/county/etc general fund, if they weren't productive? If your a cop, ask the city manager how much revenue he expects to be generated through traffic enforcement this year, and how he arrived at his budget numbers.
