Tickets
Officer Davis was able to reach his quotas for issuing tickets on Fridays because of the increased traffic. The issue was becoming more and more controversial at the station. In a tone of increasing impatience, his chief reminded him of the importance of fines in funding the department. Davis felt this unspoken pressure that made Fridays a blessing and a curse.
Davis increased his vigilance under the pressure of the authorities. He examined minor traffic violations with surgical precision. Davis could now see the minor traffic violations he overlooked in the past, and each one was a potential ticket.
