This is basically admitting to corruption.

Keep repeating this because it’s not getting through. 🙂 > [@fs 1977 nova](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fs-1977-nova/18133/14): > > I believe that the tint is for the officers protection, and if it brings in revenue for the state as well, well thats a win win. Im looking to become an officer eventually, and if i had a car pulled over at 2am and couldnt see shit , id be very weary/nervous. If it is, then why aren’t all windows enforced? > [@Going to Florida: Needs Suggestion/ Feedback](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/going-to-florida-needs-suggestion-feedback/18332/15): > > As I said, I never said they dident like it to generate revenue… but they have those checks for a reason… its not just to generate revenue, inspection/registration is done for a reason and thats what the checks are primarly for, not some quota in money they have to meet… You need a reality check if you don’t think it’s nearly 100% done for revenue. Where’s your reply to the “parking on the pavement”? > [@Going to Florida: Needs Suggestion/ Feedback](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/going-to-florida-needs-suggestion-feedback/18332/15): > > As far as the “end of the month quota” > > 1. Quotas are illegal… not saying that means they dont exist… > 2. Cops are not told how many tickets they need to hand out… they would like you to issue tickets when warrented and show you are doing your job… but they are not given quotas that they must abide by… A quota doesn’t need to be implicit. Performance is measured somehow and I guarantee you there is stats to support this. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/colonie-is-steppin-it-up/244213)._
