Quote:I would think politicians, not the police doing their job, would be responsible for using the department as a revenue generating source for locality (not a financial benefit to the officers themselves.) There may be incentive involved, but it's certainly not the police lining their pockets. Otherwise, I agree with most of what you laid out.

You're absolutely right. My point is not to say that the police officer is at fault in this motivation. It's coming from the politicians looking to increase revenue via policing-- and it's doing more harm than good.


It's making cops look at people as quotas and not citizens. And it makes citizens despise the officers as uncaring robots of arbitrary rules.


The entire issue, as I see it, is the result of God awful political policies. The good news, to me, is that these issues can be resolved if we were to reverse these terrible policies.
