TheGleamEyes 12/22/19 12:22:48 AM #3:	The city doesn't want to look like it's police force is incompetent at dealing with crime/lazying around on taxpayer funds. https://people.howstuffworks.com/police-speeding-ticket-quotas.htm However, fines got steeper, *and cities and towns discovered they liked the money coming in, which might have made fines even steeper than before. Then cities started actually depending on ticket revenue.* As in, counting on money from traffic tickets in order to make budgets balance out. And in order for that to work, police need to write a certain number of traffic tickets.So although some police departments claim there have never, ever been official or unofficial quotas, others admit, yup, this is a thing that actually happens. In 2013, the city of Atlanta came up with a plan to tie police pay increases to ticket revenue. You'd be surprised at why cities like New York or states like California go so hard after Vapes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco_Master_Settlement_Agreement#Securitization <cite>TheGleamEyes posted [p:931907830] in How come c...
