An article from Capital News Online, Memo Ties Tickets to Days Off:

TOWSON - Some Baltimore County patrol officers were told by their supervisor that their requests for time off would be tied to the number of traffic tickets they wrote, according to an internal memo.

The Baltimore Examiner obtained a copy of the May 14 letter, written by Lt. Dean Brubaker. He called on his patrol officers to issue an average of at least three citations, warnings or equipment repair orders every day. Officers who fell short, Lt. Brubaker wrote, would be last in line when asking for days off.

 
It’s ironic, really. Just the other night I was turning onto York Road from Pennsylvania Ave. (at 6am)… if by turning I mean waiting at the light for an infuriating seven minutes while there were no other cars on the road. A friend of mine was also at said light, in the lane next to me. We waited, and waited, and waited… Running the light would have been a no brainer but there was a cop parked directly to our left, just sitting there. All the sudden, my friend gets out of her car, walks over to the cop, peers in his car, turns to me, and says “He’s asleep!”
 
Needless to say, we ran the light, and a certain police officer’s trip to Hawaii may be in jeopardy.

Anyone who says you can’t turn onto Dulaney Valley Rd. from the inner lane of the Towson traffic circle is a damn liar. And you can tell them I said so.

That’s all.
