I wonder if the NYPD has one of those "the more you bust, the more likely you are to get a raise and/or a promotion" policies.

Reminds me of Miami Gardens:

quote:

Earl Sampson has been stopped and questioned by Miami Gardens police 258 times in four years.

He’s been searched more than 100 times. And arrested and jailed 56 times.

Despite his long rap sheet, Sampson, 28, has never been convicted of anything more serious than possession of marijuana.

Miami Gardens police have arrested Sampson 62 times for one offense: trespassing.

Almost every citation was issued at the same place: the 207 Quickstop, a convenience store on 207th Street in Miami Gardens.

But Sampson isn’t loitering. He works as a clerk at the Quickstop.

There's an excellent this american life episode about this, they basically incentivized arrests and the department was so corrupt and useless that everyone did it. Their old police chief resigned over this, and the new police chief was arrested in a prostitution sting.

Why did he solicit two prostitutes for a threesome? “The stress overwhelmed me, and I made a very bad decision to deal with that moment I’ve never experienced before.”
