In some places they might, but here in my city, there is no official quota. However, each officer has to write somewhere near the monthly overall average for the entire department.
Yes, they can.
Yes. When Military Police are off base and violating the law, they can be stopped by civilian police. If it is determined that a law violation did occur, then they can be ticketed, but police rarely ticket on-duty officers from other departments.
In most cases if the officer doesn't show up to court the ticket is dropped, but it depends on where you get your ticket. If you get a ticket in my home town the officers don't have to show up and you'll still have to go before a judge or pay the ticket.
Municipalities differ. I know that police officers are discouraged from quoting how much certain citations may cost. Call the city where you were cited and they can help.
Yes. A police officer is able to act on any illegal activities that he may see. So in your case yes. This doesnt happen much because an off duty cop is on break and littering is a pity crime i dont see why he/she would intervene and waste his/her time.
The various police departments always deny that there is any 'quota system'.
It depends on the policies of the local police department. It isn't illegal to do so, and most police departments will hire officers if they have a ticket, as long as the ticket is for something minor, such as speeding.
Yes, a police officer can issue a ticket to another police officer if they witness a violation of the law by that officer. Police officers are expected to uphold the law regardless of their own profession.
Yes, they can.
In some states, an off duty police officer can write a speeding ticket. It will depend on the laws in your specific state. You can always go to court to fight the ticket.
No, a civilian cannot legally issue a ticket to a police officer. Only authorized law enforcement officers have the authority to issue tickets or citations.
In almost all North American jurisdictions, actual "quotas" (IE: a minimum number of tickets an officer is expected to write) are officially illegal, but that hasn't stopped many precincts. In a 2005 MSNBC article a New York City police department confirmed that police sergeants were given a memo with how many traffic summonses they needed to write to avoid receiving a poor performance review. Another 2005 story from WLWT News 5 in Cincinnati said the same thing, that officers who did not meet ticket "goals" were put on desk duty and walking patrols. When asked about the ticket goals police spokesman Lt. Kurt Byrd said "I don't think you can use the word 'quota' and 'goal' interchangeably." A 2011 article in the New York Post reported on a lawsuit where Capt. Alex Perez of Brooklyn reported that arrest numbers are a factor when evaluating officers' performance, and that a officer in a unit with no arrests is more likely to get a poorer performance rating than an officer with more arrests. The Montreal Gazette reported in January 2011 that Montreal Police came out and published actual quota numbers after years of denying quotas even existed. Squad cars are expected to issue 16 tickets a shift while the daily quota for a motorcycle unit is 18. So while ticket quotas are illegal in many areas it is clear that quotas remain as popular as ever. Yes they do, they may not be called quotas, but they may be called contact points or whatever the police dept might choose to call it, but yes the do. I was a 9-1-1 operator and dispatcher for 5 yrs
Yes they are police officers.
Nope. Damned government.
No. Auxiliary police officers are not officers of the court.
Generally speaking Officers submit the tickets to court within 30 days but they have as long as 12 months from the date of the ticket.
The answer to your question "Can Silverton city police ticket in Marion county?" is yes they can, infact officers of the Silverton Police can ticket anyone, anywhere in the state of Oregon, because under Oregon law. all Silverton police officers have jurisdiction anywhere in the state of Oregon, anytime 24 Hours a day regardless if they are on-duty or not, although Silverton police department policy may dictate weather or not they can use their authority when off-duty, but their department policy may say that they can use authority off-duty.
