NYC – Mayor Bloomberg Insisted, The City Does Not Impose Ticket-Writing Quotas

    NYC – Mayor Bloomberg, insisted that the city does not impose ticket-writing quotas on its cops – just “performance standards” – despite a contrary ruling by a city arbitrator this week.

    “There are not ticket quotas, but there are performance standards,” said Bloomberg.

    Bloomberg’s careful phrasing came a day after a city arbitrator found that 75th Precinct brass in Brooklyn forced cops to meet monthly ticket quotas.

    Internal memos showed that cops in the East New York precinct were expected to write four parking tickets, three moving violations, three quality-of-life summonses and two stop-and-frisks every month – or face “poor annual evaluations” from their bosses.

    ok tell me you heard it, cuz i will stop writing jokes
    ——————
    I went to the store the other day.
    I was only in there for about 5 minutes and,
    when I came out,
    there was a motorcycle cop writing a parking ticket.

    I went up to him and said, ‘Come on buddy,
    how about giving a guy a break?’

    He ignored me and continued writing the ticket so I called him
    a pencil necked Nazi.

    He glared at me and started writing another ticket
    for having bald tires . . . so I called him a horse’s arse.

    He finished the second ticket and put it on the car with the first.
    Then he started writing a third ticket!!

    This went on for about 20 minutes, the more I abused him,
    the more tickets he wrote.
    I didn’t give a damn. My car was parked around the corner…
