- State police are currently authorized to require arrest and ticket quotas.
- State representative, Rose Sweeney, said these systems erod public confidence in the police.
- Other states such as Arkansas, Florida, Iowa and Louisiana have already banned police quotas.
He has long been a secret of Polichinelle that many police forces around the world have quotes that they expect to get the police every week. However, several Ohio legislators repel and want to make tickets and stop illegal quotas across the State.
The Ohio House Bill 131 was announced last year, but did not leave the local committee and did not vote. Now he has been joined by a company bill in the state Senate and is back on the agenda. The state representative, the Pink Sweeney bride, with the support of the representative Kevin Miller, a former patrol officer of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state, said that, as it stands, tickets and arrest quotas are legal in the state.

“In Ohio, it is quite legal for us to ask a police officer to get out of taxpayers every day to produce 10 to 20 tickets,” said Sweeney.
She thinks that if the public knows that the officers write tickets to meet quotas, this “undermines public confidence in the application of laws”. She wants to make these systems of quota illegal, according to the traces of 25 other American states which have prohibited the police quotas. These include Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Louisiana, South Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
“Ohioans must be assured that any quote or arrest is valid, legitimate and necessary,” said Ohio Patrolmen’s Benvolent Association, George Sakellakis. “Police, deputies and sheriff’s soldiers are real professionals who risk their lives to serve our communities, not income generators. They entered this company to protect our neighborhoods, not occupy them. We are grateful that the Legislative Assembly is attacking this important question and urges them to adopt this bill and to put an end to the practice of quotas in Ohio. »»
Speaking with Fox 8, the president of the fraternal order of the Ohio police, Brian Steel, said that the police and the sheriffs support the idea of melting quotas. In doing so, officers will be able to focus on more important work.
