Police Are the Biggest "Profit Center"

Cities all over are suffering from the bad economy. So they’re setting out to force more people to give them more money. They’re increasing their “quotas” for parking tickets tremendously. Cops and “meter maids” really have to hustle to fill their quotas. Of course, when asked, representatives of the cities “jump up and down” denying they have “quotas.” What a LOAD that is! That don’t call it that, not surprisingly. They call it something like “performance expectations” so they can deny having quotas. But the effect is the same. The number of tickets written goes up exponentially and they collect millions more without having to pass a new tax. But intelligent people know better. A quota is a quota, is a quota, no matter WHAT they call it. (National Motorists Association)
