The Utah State Legislature banned quotas in 2018, but Ogden PD says what it has is simply a “point system."
“They came out with a law saying a quota is illegal, so they just changed ‘quota’ with ‘point system,’” said one officer. “If that’s not a quota, I don’t know what is.”He believes Ogden PD has an illegal quota. Weiler said he was “a bit appalled,” “surprised,” and “outraged” with Chief Eric Young trying to justify the point system.
“This policy is intentionally designed to violate the law or exploit a loophole in the law,” Weiler said. “ per-capita ticket rate is almost 11x higher than Layton City, which is the next biggest city in the state.” He was in college when the original bill was passed in 2018. Now he’s a patrol officer with Provo PD.
