Quota? What quota?

[The Stranger:Me]

Hey at least we don't have them right.

Hard case how American lawmakers can see the patently obvious flaw in this system but not their NZ counterparts!

[Berries]

If a traffic cop in NZ can't hand out 30 proper tickets in a day they should be sacked. We've all seen the shit out there that isn't enforced. Give me a mufti car for a week and I'd break all records.

I was out delivering the other day, up one road and down the other side. An unmarked cop car pulled 6 separate vehicles over on that same streatch of road in the space of about 15 minutes.

Not a quota, a "goal". There as here.
"Lauer denied in testimony that there had been a stated quota, saying instead that there was "apparently some confusion" among officers over the use of the number 18 on evaluations, which she said had probably been "a goal" for officers instead of a quota"






yeah right.

Come on,it's not her fault, the poor innocent thing was simply misunderstood - by an entire force of imbeciles (insert sarcasm smilie).
One wonders how she got her job being such a bad communicator and all.

There's no emoticon for poking you're tongue into the side of your cheek. And moving your hand back and forward in front of your mouth...

.. but if there was

but of course. They clearly said it was a goal...

It's obvious it was a witch hunt. Those poor cops just trying raise the performance of their officers.

Do they have problems performing?

I'm more surprised that the bosses aren't complaining of too many being given out. The standard of driving is deplorable and I reckon I could write that many too! Maybe down in Scummies area there simply aren't enough cars but up here in Auckland, one could get writer's cramp...

[Smifffy]

The thing is, there are plenty of worthy things to be writing them out for, rather than than the 5 km/h over in a passing lane on a public holiday bullshit that they resort to.

Whut?
I think 99.9% of motorists behave very well on the road.

In several surveys 90% of drivers consider themselves to be better drivers than the average
Anecdotal experience would suggest the above opinions are grossly incorrect. Then there is the question of maths

Up to the standard of Ex-commisioner Clint Ricards? Or should that be down to the standard...

[rastuscat]

There used to be a quota, now we can write as many as we want.

Tee hee.

[Ghost_Bullet]

When I saw the title of the thread, I was kinda excited... but then I realised the talk of a differing Quota to what was in my mind.
