Pennsylvania State
Is it illegal for Pennsylvania state police to have citation quotas?
There is a rumor, that I personally believe is false, that is saying Pennsylvania State Police are setting extreme quotas for about 30 days. It is said that each officer will be required to pull someone over every 10 minutes while on duty.
This sounds very extreme to me. I browsed the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code, but found it a bit overwhelming to look through.
I know any such quotas are illgal in California and other states, can anyone tell me if it is also illegal in Pennsylvania? Thanks.
Yes.
There is a 1981 Pennsylvania law banning the practice of "directly or indirectly" suggesting that an individual police officer should issue "a certain number of traffic citations."
However, there has been an ongoing investigation in Pennsylvania for the past few years about the Pennsylvania State Police issuing quotas for their troopers to meet. The only reason they are getting away with it is that they are calling them "averages" and "standards" to hide the fact that it is a quota.
