Yeah I probably would but he couldn't get her in his Crown Vic and his POV is a Jeep Liberty. I'd have to rent him my truck.

Some do. Our department doesn't have one...they just tell us to write as many as we want. If we start getting complaints in certain areas, we will set up and run concentrated radar there. Believe me, there is plenty enough going on to keep us busy without ticket quotas.

Yep....the most I ever wrote in an 8 hour shift years ago was 27. Back then we worked 8 hour shifts and weren't nearly as busy with calls as we are now.
