Bounties Pay Off

Remember when it was all the rage to do Sound Impounds? It was a great way to mess with the gangbangers, the citizens loved having their neighborhoods quieter, and coppers who got into it made a decent buck attending court for hours at a time. Then the city screwed it up by combining multiple impounds into a single hearing date and coppers stopped doing it. It just goes to show the shortsighted thinking in the city that they couldn't share a measly 10% of the money with the coppers getting them $700 per car.

Boston appears to be going the other way:
  • State police brass are pressuring troopers to dole out speeding tickets instead of warnings in a cash-grabbing mandate cops say is the closest the department has ever come to setting quotas.
  • The pilot program, designed to monitor troopers' daily activities, lays out a new system that rewards troopers if they give out a ticket as opposed to a verbal or written warning.
  • Under the program, troopers get no extra pay but are credited with 1.5 hours on their daily time sheet for writing a ticket, one hour for a written warning and just a half-hour for a verbal warning.
Things that make you go, "Hmmm."

Let them do it for us then daley could quit stealing from the contractors.

Tow a car = $50.00 for us
Ticket= $25.00 hey why use courts chicago could get 100% profit if they put it through a chicago hearing officer!

Take cash from drug dealer we get 1/2
Maybe that is what sos guys were trying to do by boosting city revenue and taking their profit sharing home!

Hmmm....If the city were to do that....comp time for movers...sign me up....tickets for that golden parachute...2080 hours = 1 year salary....you would see marked improvement in the mover stats citywide. The bosses would be happy, the P.O.'s would be happy, it would piss off the citizens but the mayor and aldermen would have to handle that headache. Sounds like a winner to me!

fuck the impounds. if they are going to disarm you when you attend court on the clock, in uniform, engaged in your official police duties then I aint going. way to go - putting us all in harms way. fucking idiots. a few dummy security guards that are cluesless about what and who is around them. security room with cheap shitty gun lockers with the door wide open with at least 10 gangsters hanging on the wall not 15 feet from the lockers themselves. no guard in the room. all the peeps attending hearings HATE DA POLICE. we just cost them big bucks. wake up sports fans - fuck the impounds.

Question. How come the people that work at 35th st. and the training division had thier days off cancelled on Saturday so that they may work that Disney parade on Michigan Ave.? Isn't that a violation of the contract? What about all those Tac Teams that used to get these details for years at straight pay, no time and one half, no RDO cancelled? Ain't fair Phil!

Off topic, know but where else can I post this. Whats up with the mail order prescription drug plan? I sent away for some drugs that I need for a chronic condition ( diabetes). Half of the items were not shipped because the City doesn't pay for them anymore according to the guy at Caremark, and for the ones that were shipped I had to pay $415.00! Is this how far our health plan has sunk? WTF!
