Ticket Quotas Stalls * USA - Utah bill to outlaw

Utah,USA -Land Line Magazine -26 Feb 2007: -- A bill has stalled in the Utah Legislature that was intended to prevent law enforcement officers from going on ticket-writing sprees... “I was with (my) daughter and we got pulled over. I asked the officer if he’s under a quota system. He said they really don’t call it a quota system, it’s more of a performance-based evaluation system,” Rep. Neil Hansen, D-Ogden said at a recent hearing on the bill in the House... As part of that system, the officer told him, he’s required to write eight tickets a day... Supporters of the measure said there’s a difference between telling officers to write a certain number of tickets and telling them to write all the infractions they see... Hansen said that if chiefs have officers who refuse to write tickets, the problem is with the officers who refuse to enforce the laws – not the lack of a ticket quota.
