That letter hurt my head to read....grammatical error left right and center. I'm no saint in that department but wow!!

and that letter sounds like a door to door salesman managers pitch to his minions. Pure BS. Where is 31st Division anyways so i can stay the hell away from it.

....."But i didn't witness any violations!" ..."I don't care, make some up..."

how can you possibly "not witness any violations"? in the GTA?

more like not witness any violations that are easily won in court

more like not witness any violations that are easily won in court

Then the cop is lazy and should probably be given a quota.

I think what she means is; how come we never see any enforcement of all the other common violations that happen in the GTA, other than speeding?

Fail to yield, fail to signal, fail to cede the right of way, obstruct the flow of traffic, distracted driving, driving while on the phone, fail to turn on friggin headlights, unsafe vehicle...

Quota or no quota, they are clearly cherry picking which violations they witness and which ones they don't.

This doesn't condone policing but revenue generation.

Look at it from a different point of view for a minute..they're civil servants..how do you measure job performance? They're traffic cops!! I'm not saying quotas are right, that they're doing a good or bad job..I'm just looking at it, from a managerial perspective..how many widgets!!!

It doesn't sound like she's necessarily enforcing a quota or anything. It actually kinda sounds like she's telling officers to get off their butts and do their jobs. That may have been the point she was trying to get across. Her writing style sucks, though, so who the hell knows?

Writing a memo about something that sensitive is stupid. Especially if you're bad at writing. Christ, just tell them in person during a staff meeting and save the goddamn paper haha.

If. There are any Mississauga cops that want to fill their daily quota in an hour they can sit at the southbound on ramp on hurontario to the q.e.w. westbound. There is a yeild sign there that is obviously invisible to all the people using that ramp. How come you never see people pulled over for those traffic violations?
