Not exactly. A lot of people talk about cops having a "quota" that they have to meet, like how many traffic stops they make, how many tickets they hand out, etc. There is no hard and fast rule and no incentives for "doing a better job" by issuing more citations or whatever, but if you are below a certain threshold, it's definitely a red flag that you are probably not doing as much as you should. People break laws all the time and if you are looking carefully enough you will find examples
I wish this were true, sometimes I have to work in very scuzzy areas where it would be a cinch... and the extra $$$ would really come in handy!
That's really not a thing; if it were, then there would be a lot of corruption and unwarranted charges. The law is very specific about what we can and can't do, and believe it or not, we don't like having run-ins with civilians unnecessarily.
