Ohio ban would ban quota on traffic tickets

An Ohio bill being proposed would end police ticket and arrest quotas. State lawmakers in Columbus plan to reintroduce legislation today that would prohibit ticketing and arrest quotas for law enforcement officers in Ohio. A similar proposal in 2024 failed to make it out of committee before the legislative session ended. The legislation would ban ticket mandates, which some cities also call “performance objectives” or “performance goals”. In some cases, the pressure on officers to generate a certain number of tickets and amount of revenue is a written policy, and in other cases it is unwritten. Sponsors of the bill are trying to weed out the practice altogether.
