Jontour, I think you're hitting the mail on the head to prove my point. Even in areas without specific quotas, numbers are still considered to be an important part of your performance. This is the wrong way to rate how good a law enforcement officer is.

The problem is that a lot of people (myself at times included) blame the messengers (the cops) for what is a fundamentally screwed up law enforcement system, combined with screwed up laws that facilitate that system.

The whole legal/law enforcement system needs to be radically overhauled to put the best interests of society in the forefront, and not get lost in the pettiness it currently is constantly embroiled in. I think we need to keep a bigger picture in mind.
