Legislation that would ban police departments from issuing quotas on tickets has been approved in the Illinois Senate.  The Springfield State Journal-Register reports the bill prevents any law enforcement agency from requiring officers to write a certain number of traffic citations within a specific time period.  Police officers also couldn’t be evaluated on the number of citations they issue.  It was approved Thursday on a 57 to 1 vote.  The lone vote against the bill came from Senator Tim Bivins, a Republican who was once the sheriff in Lee County.  He argues the legislation would give certain officers permission to slack off.  The measure now heads to the Illinois House.
