Police Quotas

In most states, and I'm pretty sure Texas is one of them, Police ticket quotas are illegal. But the departmental budget for the Houston Police Department seems to depend on how many tickets they write. I'm not sure that's a really good idea.

Houston is the place that used to teach the use of throw down guns as a coverup took for mistaken shootings in their police academy. More recently they had to shut down their crime analysis lab becuase of fraud. Not exactly a bunch of trustworthy guys.
