EISH! Penalty for not making the quota is a pay cut
A Polish police officer handed himself a fine in order to meet a quota of one penalty a day set down by his chief.
The daily Gazeta Wyborcza said that the policeman in the northwestern city of Bialogard wrote himself a 20-zloty (R45, or $6.50) ticket for walking on a railway line.
The officer, identified by the paper only as Sergeant Andrzej T., was trying to respect rules laid down by the local police chief.
As part of a law-and-order drive in the community of 20,000, the police department's leadership told officers to issue at least one fine a day or face a pay cut, the newspaper reported.
