wrongly accused

[johncar54]

i was talking to a SB officer last night, conversation got around to arrest he told me they always let the uniform guys do it as they have targets and performance pay based on it he also told me thet discuss which one of the uniform will do it depending on who needs the arrest !!! beggrs belief but from the horses mouth so to speak !

I cannot say that is not now the case, although I doubt it. It seems so unbelievable that one might think he was pulling your leg. 20 years ago there was a myth that police got paid more and got extra days off for making arrests. It not true but people still believed it. But I know times have changed so maybe it's true now.

As it is so easy to find people breaking the law I am surprised, if they really do get payments for making arrests, that any one is ever just cautioned.
