I don't know if it's just my town or what, but some days I never see a cop while cruising around. On other days I see them all over the place. Just an observation. Maybe there is an officer that can explain why.

I see them a lot on any of the days at the end of the month, probably trying to meet their quotas

i don't care how many stories in the news there are about "the police force does not use a quota system" ...there is DEF a difference...right around the beginning and then at the very end of the month the 5-0 is out in full force...rest of the time, you'll never see one...that's been my observation anyway

Local cops, i don't pay attention to them.. They come to visit me once in a while to bs with me or my dad..

State Troopers, thats a diff ball game.. I travel 40 miles ONE WAY every day that i go to work.. Mondays-Weds, not to bad.. Thurs, i see one or two.. Fri, Sat, and Sun, they are traveling everywhere.. But i do live 25 mins from the Tennessee State Trooper Head Quarters..

Whenever I decide to do a 100+ MPH sprint for whatever reason (at least it sure seems that way...).

LOL.  Quota.  I am sure you see more patroling when there are less calls for service.  Also, there are more units on assigned times when people are out and about.  IE sporting events, weekend nights, etc.

people have actually pmed me about me saying things like "nice tech post" or, "this is a tech section" getting angry... IT bothers the hell out of me. S197 owners think they can post whateverthefuk they want up there and get mad when its questioned...

"I feel so out of place posting anywhere else on the site, lol..."

 i only notice the cops when i'm on my way to do something bad...so most times who cares where cops hang out...i figure they are guys just like anybody else...you have your down days, you have your busy days

At the end of the month they have to meet there quota.

I got a true story here to tell

A city in Texas installed cameras that took your picture if you ran a red light, than you would get a ticket mailed in.  This brought in ALOT of revenue.
Well after awhile no one was running red lights and the revenue was going down.

So the city put it in the newspaper saying that they were turning off there cameras.  Just so they can bring in some revenue.

I always see 5x more police towards the end of the month. They gotta get that quo- sorry, "suggested ticket goal (under threat of a performance review)" in.
