What anarchists knew for ages is now being recognised by mainstream.
Good thing for Reuters, without them I wouldn’t know the sky was blue too. For real, this is something that anyone not with the thin blue boot scraping their tracheas has been screaming for decades.
I think they spend most of their time on traffic stops because tickets=money. IDK if it’s true on California, but other states legit have pull-over quotas so local governments can take in that fat ticket loot.
Ticket quotas are illegal in every state. So the police chiefs often avoid writing an official policy of ticket quotas, they just punish officers who don’t write enough for something like slacking on the job, and then unofficially tell the officer how many tickets are enough to avoid punishment.
Not writing it down makes it harder to prove, which is great when there’s an illegal policy that they’re enforcing.
