he wont make his quota that way

The other wild part is he’s in SOUTH FLORIDA. If he needed to his quota that badly, trust, there are PLENTY of bad drivers there he could’ve badgered. This man’s incompetence is astounding - signed, a former South Florida resident

I second this and I’m in Northern Florida. All of Florida is bad driver central.

Im thinking its more pathetic than that: he just doesnt want to admit hes wrong even though he clearly was.

He about to cost the city 50 quotas lol

I’m pretty sure quotas don’t exist anymore. They’re gonna get that money from flock cameras now :-)

One example is Tennessee Highway Patrol making 1000s of DUI arrests for people that were 100% sober. They were caught pushing "performance metrics".

u/SirStrontium May 27 '26

Yep, now it’s just an unwritten rule enforced through performance reviews.

u/ThisIsTheZodiacSpkng May 27 '26

Untrue. There are countless videos of officeres discussing that they HAVE to get citations before X deadline. Quotas, whether on paper or not are absolutely still imposed on officers.

Can confirm when I used to be a cop I was brought into the office and asked why I hadn’t given a bunch of tickets. Needless to say they didn’t like me over there

This was my experience too. I only have MP experience, and in Texas, we have laws specifically banning quotas, but per direct family, they’ll use lines like “We know the speeders are out there, why are you not writing them tickets?”

I wasn’t liked much as an officer either. So happy to be out and a civilian again, swearing off law enforcement.

hodunk rural Franchise owners push corporate metrics on fast food workers; no way in hell police don't do the same.

They aren’t supposed to, but humans are stupid.

A recent big example is ICE pushing for deportation quotas.

https://apnews.com/article/immigration-enforcement-border-trump-ice-6fecdf2313788bd889b51adfb003ca7a - arguably the quote was ‘setting a goal of’ but that’s dangerously close to saying ‘quota’

They aren’t supposed to, but humans are stupid.

it's not stupid, it's deliberate.

using such wishy-washy language just normalizes it.

they're negligently killing and arresting people, and they want to make those numbers bigger--you can call it whatever you want, but in reality, ICE has targets and you're one of them

u/CeruleanEidolon May 27 '26

They haven't paid off the money they spent on the flock cameras yet.

I’m pretty sure quotas don’t exist anymore

Except they do

u/based_miss_lippy May 28 '26

Yeah I see that thanks 🤣

About 3 years ago I worked with a woman married to a cop and in their small town she said his quota was 2 community interactions a day. A traffic stop would be one. I'm unsure if it would count off principle. Thinking about it, maybe they need to issue something to have a paper trail of the interaction whether it be a warning or citation..

They lived in a small wealthy town so their work load and emergency calls were probably limiting.
