Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.

A senior Auckland police officer is denying a leaked email of his outlining a "minimum expectation" for traffic tickets is proof of a quota.

The August 12 email from Waitemata road policing Superindendent John Kelly says each full-time equivalent highway patrol officer is expected to issue 1420 tickets a year.

It says in bold type that the figures are "the minimum expectation", the Weekend Herald reported today.[/quote]


[quote]

However, Mr Kelly said the figures were averages only and denied there was a quota.

"There's nothing that says, `You will by God go out there and write out 25 tickets an hour for speeding' or anything like that.



...stop digging, John.

here is a novel idea...if you don't want a ticket then don't speed.  Pretty simple really.

Yeah fair call, but where are police resources better utilised? Speeding infringements or the gang lands developing in Auckland? Personally i'd rather someone speed past at 120 with the knowledge that the cop that should be chasing him is working on dealing with the violence in Auckland.

Not until the drunk speeder crashes head on into a car, killing himself and a member of your family.
