Illinois bans police ticket quotas
Justin King leftlanenews.com Illinois has passed legislation that prohibits municipalities from requiring police officers to meet ticket quotas.
Senate Bill 3411 specifically bans state, county or local governments from requiring an officer to issue a specific number of citations within a designated period of time, or from comparing citation numbers between different officers or a set benchmark during performance evaluations.
"Law enforcement officers should have discretion on when and where to issue traffic citations and not be forced to ticket motorists to satisfy a quota system," said Governor Pat Quinn. "This new law will improve safety and working conditions for police officers and prevent motorists from facing unnecessary anxiety when they encounter a police vehicle." The legislation parallels similar laws that have been passed in other states to ban arbitrary quota systems, though agencies in some states with such bans have been accused of maintaining quotas in secret. The Los Angeles Police Department has paid out millions to settle whistleblower claims from officers who claimed they were forced to write a minimum number of tickets, despite California's ban on the practice. to read more: leftlanenews.com
