Jimmy, do you work in such a capacity that you KNOW how raises and promotions are given? Or are you another one of those who just promotes that quota rumor? WE DO NOT HAVE A QUOTA here to meet. In fact, if an officer seems to be writing a lot of tickets, the Chief turns him over to be investigated. Raises and promotions are not given on a "quota met" basis. We have a pay scale that goes by service years and regardless of whether they write one ticket or one hundred tickets, that is the raise they get. That was the amount budgeted by the Mayor and Board of Aldermen.
Officers are trained with their radar. Unless you have actually seen one in use, and see HOW the officer operates it, you would not understand how he can know who it tagged. I could explain it to you, but you would have to see it in use to understand. There are way too many people out there who think an officer has nothing better to do with his time than to pull over someone just to hear him sound off about how it couldn't have been him speeding, although deep down, the person knows he was.
