"I'm not going to keep arresting innocent people, I'm not going to keep searching people for no reason, I'm not going to keep writing people for no reason, I'm tired of this. Our primary job is not to help anybody, our primary job is not to assist anybody, our primary job is to get those numbers and come back with them. They have to meet a quota. One arrest and twenty summonses."
-Officer Adil Polanco NYPD

"Things are not going to get any better. It's going to get a lot worse. If you think 1 and 20 is breaking your balls, guess what you're going to be doing. You're gong to be doing a lot more, a lot more than what they're saying! Next week, 25 &1, 35 & 1, and until you decide to quit this job to go to work at a Pizza Hut, this is what you're going to be doing till then. Do you understand?!"
-41st Precinct Patrol Supervisor NYPD

"It is illegal for law enforcement agencies to issue quotas for citations or arrests of individuals.... The Fraternal Order of Police strongly disagrees with this illegal action and respectfully requests you rescind this action of supervisors at the Knoxville Police Department.... If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's still a duck. It's a quota."
--Edward Daniel, attorney at law

"Cops have a[n illegal] quota system."
--Sgt. James Eagan, New York State Police (Retired), from his book, A Speeder's Guide to Avoiding Tickets

"I was put under pressure. It was like a race. How many more people can we get today?"
--arrested Knoxville, Tennessee, police officer describing the government's illegal quota
