It is a conflict of interest because if a cop is pressured to perform to a certain performance rating and misses his expected performance rating, then there is the chance that he may go out of his way to write tickets illegally or make illegal arrests. The mere fact that there is a chance of this happening makes it a conflict of interest. How do we know there is a chance?

How do we know there is a chance? Because there are documented cases of cops doing such things for personal gain. I wouldn’t consider that a conflict of interest. I’d say that’s more of just plain old corruption. The conflict of interest would be if the person he was pulling over was say, his son. ---

Also, quota systems DO exist. Except they are not called quota systems. They are what is called “Contact Points”. If police do not meet the required number of contact points per day they are subject to performance evaluations. This is the same as having a quota. Here is a link to a police forum discussing quotas: [http://www.policeworld.net/vb/showthread.php?t=17321](http://www.policeworld.net/vb/showthread.php?t=17321) Here are quotes from retired police officers: Cops have a[n illegal] quota system. –Sgt. James Eagan, New York State Police (Retired) I was put under pressure. It was like a race. How many more people can we get today? –arrested Knoxville, Tennessee, police officer describing the government’s illegal quota And here are leaked memo’s from various police agencies: EAST DISTRICT CONTACTS COUNSELING- \*UNAWARE OF TRAFFIC PROBLEMS ON BEAT \*FAILURE TO ADDRESS TRAFFIC PROBLEMS ON BEAT \*NEED TO CHECK TRAFFIC COMPLAINTS \*NEED TO CHECK WRECKS AND HIGH ACCIDENT LOCATIONS \*NEED TO DO TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT TO INCREASE COMPLIANCE, REDUCE ACCIDENTS, RESPOND TO COMPLAINTS ON MAYORS SURVEY \*EACH OFFICER COUNSELED IS TO TURN IN A PLAN BY JUNE 10, 1998 OF WHAT THE TRAFFIC PROBLEMS ARE ON THEIR BEAT AND HOW THEY PLAN TO ADDRESS THEM.

Lawl. You guys are talking about it like Cossey didnt do anything wrong. 57\>55. Just because they dont always ticket it, doesnt mean its legal. Every time you speed, expect to get a ticket and just be pleasantly surprised when you dont. Move on with life. ---

Every time you speed, expect to get a ticket and just be pleasantly surprised when you dont. Move on with life. As adam said and most cops will tell you They will usualy give up to a 5mph grace… Hardly anyone does exactly the speed limit… not because theyre rebels but simply because especialy older cars there always seems to be a ~3mph difference then what the radar says vs your speedo. If this was the case cops would be pulling over nearly everyone and giving them tickets for going 3mph over… A judge will dismiss it… being pulled over for 2mph is completely ridiculous and asinine ---
