Oh, You Mean Those Quotas

Turns out the NYPD has official quotas for stop-and-frisks, arrests, etc.  And they downgrade serious crimes or pressure victims to go away, so they can look like they are actually reducing crime.

Okay, we all knew that.  But now they've been caught on tape.

(yeah, it's a story about NYC, but does anyone imagine it's not happening here? wonder if that's why the local cops and prosecutors are so afraid of being recorded?)

QuoteIn addition to the obvious civil liberties concerns about stopping, arresting, and holding people for non-crimes, these practices also poison police-community relations, particularly among minority groups. Harass people for non-crimes while brushing off actual crimes, and the people are eventually going to lose trust in law enforcement.

Because people haven't already lost trust...


I assumed there were quotas, but not for all these things... the whole thing is just gggrrr.
Thanks for the post

Nah, saw that.  Just some updated information, but I couldn't find the original thread for some reason.
