A quota is a minimum required by policy. In this case, the sergeants
expected that even the most worthless officer could write one ticket
per hour (afterall, they didn't receive calls for assistance, etc..
they JUST wrote tickets).
So, it is a myth. And there's no true quota.
I'm sure some agencies have them, but the majority do not.
