Police DO NOT have quotas. nope.

Here's some cops that were writing tickets to people that didn't even know they got tickets:

And here's one where the cop was flat out lying about people speeding. 91 total tickets were dismissed due to this.

Pretty easy to find these within seconds on Google btw. Probably on Bing too.

if you don't turn on your lights when you use your wipers in many states you can get a ticket

however you might turn the wipers on just to get the drizzle from the sunshower, and then quickly off again. you're breaking the law though.

in one world we have a place where cops need to be writing tickets to justify their existence and pay their way

in the other we have a police who are there to serve and protect

in the first world they'd pull you over for that shit

in the second they'd realize that it's sunny and you had your wipers on for three seconds and the point of it is that you should have your wipers on if it's raining a lot during the day, not for this kind of situation

that's a lot of what's wrong with quotas. the police are supposed to be there to serve and protect. if they wrote zero tickets or 1000 it shouldn't matter. perhaps the fines should go somewhere else. charity, or to a lottery, or just given back as tax rebates to the people every year. but it shouldn't be a source of revenue that even matters to the government

well you keep ignoring the examples of cops doing these things and in fact arguing with us with arguments like "if you break the law you get a ticket" instead of just answering what we actually say. 6 pages of that.

but here we are again, another example of you being vague and not just addressing what we say and suddenly you've been misunderstood. could have been solved from the beginning if you were just clear and stopped being intentionally vague and deflective.
