There's a question dedicated to this on Skeptics.SE: http://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/9578/do-police-officers-have-monthly-quotas-of-traffic-tickets

  While it's interesting to read about the individual cases of unofficial quotas, it'd be much more interesting to see a larger study done on multiple police forces over a significant amount of time to see how widespread the practice is. I only say this as this thread is full of anecdotal evidence, and the skeptics question's responses seems to be much the same.

    Well it's not necessarily anecdotal evidence. It's anecdotal in that it proves that only some forces in some countries have a quota system, but that is enough to answer the question: Some definitely do. It certainly doesn't answer the question for all known police forces in all countries, but I don't think that's a reasonable expectation.
