They're just doing their jobs, its like a RIDE program for boaters. just deal with it and move on.
I was told by a local officer that there is a minimum number of tickets they need to reach. He explained it this way, Officer Joe goes out day in day out, and consistantly hands out 40 tickets. Officer John goes out day in, day out and consistantly hands out 35 tickets, you go out day in, day out and consistantly hand out 10 tickets. Can you justify your job as an officer on patrol in a performance review? Your job as an officer on patrol is to be on look out for violations of the law, no matter how big or small. if your performance isn't adding up to other officers, why should they keep you?
