A recent viral video of a Georgia sheriff and a sergeant threatening to arrest each other over a traffic stop raises concern about police department quotas that can lead to fatal consequences. The riff between the two officers started when Sheriff Ken Henderson intervened in a traffic stop made by Sgt. Tracy James of the Hiawassee Police Department. When Sergeant James handed the traffic citation to the driver, the Towns County sheriff asked the driver where he had commited the infraction. The driver's response confirmed what Sheriff Henderson suspected and that's when Sergeant James started threatening him with arrest. "I'll arrest you right now," Sheriff Henderson said. After exchanging some curse words, the two officers went their individual ways, but it's concerning that they got so heated over a traffic stop. County Attorney Robb Kiker said there's an ongoing investigation regarding the incident, which "is a result of a broader issue." The Towns County Sheriff's Office and the Hiawassee Police Department have been at odds with each other over Hiawassee officers pursuing suspects outside city limits, according to 11alive. This incident also raised concern over a longtime issue of police department quotas that makes officers overly-aggressive in traffic stops "Fueling the culture of traffic stops is the federal government, which issues over $600 million a year in highway safety grants that subsidize ticket writing," Mike McIntire and Michael H. Keller of the NY Times wrote. "Although federal officials say they do not impose quotas, at least 20 states have evaluated police performance on the number of traffic stops per hour, which critics say contributes to overpolicing and erosion of public trust, particularly among members of certain racial groups."
