<p>Most metro-ATL counties don't have quotas (mine included :) ), so the average speed on a freeway is like 83 MPH and 50-60 MPH on a surface road (with speed limits of 35-45). Plus, there is enough "real crime" (murders, rapes, burglaries, etc.) to go around so that we don't need petty quotas to help with budget crunches (that's what they're usually used for).</p>
<p>I've heard of quotas in NYC, LA, and a few other cities where budgets are constrained, and I think there is something wrong with that. However, I don't blame the cops... I blame the system.</p>
