Consent Search Quotas

Since when was there a quota (a minimum number that must be done every month) on consent searches?

A properly conducted consent search used to mean that you were looking for something specific and asking permission to look for it without a search warrant or exception to the search warrant rule, not just asking for a consent search to show that you were doing consent searches.

Since one of the "chosen ones" decided that there would be. How long did it last? Bad question. The right question would be why someone at the sergeant level is being allowed to set quotas to determine if a job is being done or being part of an evaluation. Does each shift sergeant get to set their own evaluation criteria?  The yearly evaluation that determines your pay increases, if any?

The proper question would be why this sergeant was even allowed in the first place to try and start something like that. Doesn't he think beyond his nose? Or is his head really that far up and locked? Does he not (obviously by this) know how to measure real productivity in a patrol deputy? Why would he tell people that it would be reflected in their evaluations? The word "asshat" applies here.

Does he not know how he is setting up future consent searches for further scrutiny? Oh well, he is believed to be an up and comer by the admin staff so this incident will just go be the wayside.

  1. Ya sounds like Kevin "Brownnoser" James is running away with the show. His quota is two tickets a day and an arre4st a week. Sgt. Curtis Burch is one ticket a week and an arrest a week. I wonder if the public defenders would love to bring that up that they are ordering his guys to arrest people and possibly creating arrests just to pad their yearly eval for a better raise.
