And they still say quotas are a myth.
Connecticut's state police union is angry over a memo, obtained by News 8, that has troopers in the Bethany barracks going on a ticketing spree Friday to beat other barracks and win pizza.
The email, from Lt. Anthony Schirillo, challenges troopers to write 350 tickets or more during a 24 hour window starting at 12:01 a.m. Friday. The shift with the most tickets gets pizza, another message said.
Certainly a noble cause.
Next time you're pulled over ask yourself if you were really speeding or if the ticketing officer is having a little fun racing for a pizza party.
Not only does it kill the "quotas are a myth" nonsense it also kills the "enforcement isnt revenue" myth:
The state police union calls it ticket blitzing -- Connecticut trying to make money off of enforcement.
It's a mess all over. They say it isnt a quota but an effort to get troopers to do their jobs. So troopers arent doing their jobs? Why arent they fired?
Then they say it's justified because it brings the state revenue. I thought enforcement was about public safety not generating revenue?
All the while the union is PO'd that the memo got out. Why so upset if their was nothing wrong with what they were doing?

Rest assured peasants. In the end it's all about the children:
"There is nothing more difficult for a Connecticut state trooper than to stop a family -- a husband, a wife, a couple of children in the back -- for a motor vehicle violation, and hand that family a $275 ticket for violation of the rules of the road. But we look at that family and hope that we have saved a life."
