from U.S. News & World Report article Have members of Detroit's police department found a new way to go about getting pay raises? The question arose when the Motor City suddenly noticed that its policemen were not writing as many traffic tickets as they formerly issued. The policemen happen to be demanding a pay raise, and many residents decided there was a connection, Police Commissioner Ray Girardin said there was a decline of about 60 per cent in the number of minor traffic violations written up by his men, He said the police would be reminded that "neglecting their duty ‘is no way to convince the public that they are entitled to more pay." The head of the Detroit Police Officérs Association, Carl F. Parsell, said the association opposes any slowdown in writing of tickets.
