Illinois cops are standing up to their own department saying that forcing quotas requires them to make arrests without probable cause.

Normal, IL — A group of police officers filed a lawsuit against the town of Normal last week alleging that the police department is forcing them to write a certain number of tickets or face disciplinary action.
Patrol officers Brian Larimore, Deborak Weir, and Todd VanHovein, were tired of being forced to collect a minimum amount of revenue each month or face disciplinary consequences. They claim the department is abusing its power and have filed a 27-page lawsuit detailing these allegations.
The lawsuit states that each officer had to write at least one traffic ticket each day. They also had to write four ordinance violation tickets per month, and make one DUI arrest every other month.
More than just traffic citations, the lawsuit details the requirements to make at least two criminal arrests per month. That means that these officers were forced to create criminals out of otherwise innocent people, or face disciplinary action.
The lawsuit goes on to say that day-shift patrol officers have no concrete requirements when it comes to criminal arrests or DUI arrests. Those day-shift officers are allegedly told to have a minimum number of traffic arrest and ordinance violation arrests.
According to WMBD, Larimore, Weir and VanHoveln all cited separate incidents where they were disciplined for failing to meet the required number of arrests. The claims date back to 2010.
