Excellent point Justin.

But remember, sane thought has become a thing of the past. We have lost thousands of jobs in the private sector. Not true of the “Gov’t ” sector. Who get their money from ” where”? Like the unanswered question about healthcare at a town hall meeting. “Are you legislators going to be under the same plan as you are proposing for us?”

Umm,,still no answer. Which means? Three guess’es and the first two don’t count

That article on Boise is pretty true. Cops hand out DUI’s here like candy.

Lastly, if this DUI system for quotas is real (which it probably is as it is with tickets) — doesn’t that just mean we should have less cops — it seems if you can’t meet the quota you have either too many law abiding citizens — or too many cops. I can only hope it is the first.

My, My, MY, Now what “sane” mind would ever concieve that arrests trump right or wrong?

Maryland? Maybe ask Mayor Calvo. His dogs got blown away. Lucky for him he wasn’t holding a gun when these “masked men” came into his house. He would be dead as well. No authorized warrant or nothing that authorized what happened. He got legislation passed that says tactics like this have to be accounted for and explained. What was the response? This is interfering with someones ability to do their job(invade one’s property without legal cause, and after “their” investigation, found that the officers did nothing wrong and were justified in their actions. Well people, they didn’t even bother to check who’s house they were storming into. Nor did they inform the local police of the jurisdiction of this impending action.. Welcome to the new system you nuts that support this back and praise.

Yeah sure, we have problems but when our homes are invaded based on hearsay,,which they are, its time for you do gooders to wake up and realize you have destroyed the foundation of what the United States Of America was founded upon and is suppose to follow per the “orders” of our founding fathers….Comments? Make sure you check the Bill of Rights and US Constitution before responding.

Boise, Idaho Police Department holds contest to see who can arrest the most drunk drivers
When it comes to busting drunk drivers, Boise has some of the most alert cops around. On a regular Friday or Saturday night, as many as 70 Boise Police Department officers might be on the streets. In addition to that, five officers who specialize in recognizing drunk drivers are prowling the roadways. Just last year, BPD officers arrested 2,247 drivers for driving under the influence.
Now they have a new incentive. Last month, a BPD sergeant sent out a memo to all officers announcing a new contest, with prizes, for the most DUI arrests.
The memo, which was provided to Boise Weekly after a public records request, is straightforward: At the end of every month, the individual officer with the highest combined total of DUI arrests and DUI assists will be given a prize. The prizes range from movie tickets to gift certificates from local restaurants.
Although the goal is noteworthy, making a contest of arresting people has raised the eyebrows of Alan Trimming, who runs Ada County’s Public Defender’s Office. It’s Trimming’s department that ends up defending many drunk-driving arrests.
“A contest has certain cause for concern,” Trimming said. “I would hope, that in a desire to win the contest, that there would be no corner-cutting of any kind.”
