Do you believe you are somehow above the law, and immune from punishment later in the month? I’m confused by your response.

  We're talking about a form of corrupt behavior. Instead of giving you a ticket because you were exhibiting dangerous behavior per-se, instead it would be seen as an extra source of revenue for the county. Towards the end of the month the police would issue more citations for ever more trivial transgressions, in order to meet the quota. Obviously this had nothing to do with law or order. In many places this is now discontinued or outright illegal.

      The dangers of speeding, drunk driving and other forms of traffic risk-taking are real. Perversely, the practice of ticket quotas incentivized a focus on revenue and revenue alone, as opposed to addressing these dangers. Dangers that you rightly point out can kill people. Ticket quotas have been stamped out in many jurisdictions, ensuring that law enforcement focuses more on safety and legality.
