    Do you think cops who are buying that sort of shit are reluctant to arrest people?

      They might prefer other methods of “executing” justice

      Common for agencies to have internal ticket and arrest quotas for their officers and to promote based on number of arrests by officer.

      Consequentially, a change in the quota can result in a “crime wave” as the number of arrests rise. It is not uncommon for surges in arrests to occur during campaign season, as police departments lobby for bigger budgets and more manpower.
