County patrol 'quota' ties days off to tickets

An apparent quota system that tied days off for some Baltimore County patrol officers to the number of traffic tickets they issued is drawing outrage from the county police union, which says the order is illegal.

“Police management is tying an officer?s time off to traffic enforcement,” union President Cole Weston said Thursday. “I think it?s highly inappropriate. I think it violates the house bill as it relates to quotas.”
