It now appears that that those state and local police agencies have an extra incentive to write even more tickets. They can earn free police pursuit vehicles courtesy of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and your fuel tax dollars. NHTSA’s National Law Enforcement Challenge Award judges police agencies based on ticket counts, taking away points if they don’t have a "no warning" policy. They also give bonus points for innovative methods such as camouflaging officers as tourists or Santa Claus. The top ranked departments earn free cruisers such as Hemi Chargers and Magnums equipped with cold air intakes and Borla exhaust systems.

Maybe the NHTSA should watch the local news where police chased a guy, who crashed head on, killing two teenage girls….
Wouldn’t we be better off for rewarding people who don’t have tickets and don’t cause accidents. Oh, yeah , insurance companies do…..
