The leaked internal memo exposed by National's law and order spokesman, Simon Power, confirmed what most of us believe, for a very long time, that the Police operate on a traffic ticket quota system.
Basically most people (people I’ve spoken to who are not related to a police-person) believe that the police have a daily target/quota similar to what parking wardens have. This means, just to reach the target $$, the police will stop anyone they feel like picking on.
This brings up a few questions as well:
Who do they normally pick? I police can be quite racist and pick on any dark skinned fella with a hoodie.
Also, shouldn’t they be solving crimes? There are plenty of cases left unsolved. In a way the police are not public servants anymore. They are a business. The do not solve crimes because it is not profitable.
Can you feel my anger?
