Below is a cop's response to a post on a local board from a guy venting over an uncalled for ticket. I personally know the cop that wrote this response so this is NOT bogus...
"Well let's remember this is the city of Clearwater where they have a second dollar fund that is a bonus towards their retirement. They are the only agency I have ever heard of doing this, but for every ticket the city collects on the 2nd dollar goes into a fund for the officers. The fund is set up so that when an officer retires he gets a portion of the money collected during his years of working there. I think this is a conflict of interest, but then again I would not complain about an extra 150k at the end of my career for just doing my job."
Runnr, you'd never fit the psychology profile. They're looking for overzealous, mind numb, goodie-two-shoes, tattle-tells. You'd rock their world. You're too much of a rebel.
That's unreal. So what you're saying is there is a huge incentive to write tickets, and my guess is no incentive to fight real crime. Hm, I guess there are no drugs, gangs, rapes, robberies, hold ups, car jacking, or violence of any kind in Florida for cops to do anything about. Good to know.
This is when attorneys are a good thing. Need to get someone to SUE SUE SUE SUE SUE SUE SUE! Bankrupt the pig fund! They can all starve when they retire! [img]/images/graemlins/flip2.gif[/img]
