Drivers and lawmakers have been upset with the Ogden Police Department since last spring, when FOX 13 News first exposed how the city pressures officers to write more tickets.
“This is an opportunity to make this very clear,” said Rep. Jennifer Dailey-Provost, D-Salt Lake City. “Quotas are illegal.”He credits months of investigative reporting by FOX 13 News for bringing the problem to light. “With your investigation and the information that was brought forward in committee, it raised serious questions,” Bramble said. “The statute didn’t say quotas are okay if it’s only one of ten criteria that are looked at.”
“It’s non-stop stress,” one officer said. “How am I going to get my tickets? How am I going to get my numbers?”Chief Young stated that the point system is designed to weed out lazy officers. According to an email written by Lt. Cameron Stiver, traffic cops are expected to write one citation per hour. They usually exceed that goal, he wrote.
