N.Wales police quota - 20th Jul 2005 1:11am
Just a warning to say that if the n.wales traffic police pull you over it's unlikely you'll be able to talk them out of a ticket. Read in the paper that they now (or will very soon) have to meet a monthly quota. This is how it works:
-Each traffic officer must earn a minimum of 200 points every month or the future of their career will be reviewed.
-Arresting a drunk driver is worth 50 points
-Arresting a dangerous driver is worth 30 points
-Handing out 6 points earns the copper 10 points
-Handing out 3 points earns them 5 points
-Each traffic officer must earn a minimum of 200 points every month or the future of their career will be reviewed.
-Arresting a drunk driver is worth 50 points
