It's nice to have a hobby - writing tickets

Talk about being enthusiastic at your workplace. From Detroit, MI station WXYZ:

Cop Writes 2,400 Traffic Tickets, Scores OT
IN A LOCAL SUBURB THE MORE TICKETS THAT SOME TRAFFIC OFFICERS WRITE THE MORE OPPORTUNITIES THEY HAVE TO GET PAID OVER TIME.

IT�S A SYSTEM THAT�S ALLOWING ONE OFFICER TO CASH IN BIG TIME.

WARREN POLICE OFFICER DAVID KANAPSKY WROTE THOUSANDS OF TRAFFIC TICKETS LAST YEAR. AND HE RAKED IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF OVERTIME PAY. MANY DRIVERS HE TICKETED SAY THEY HAD A CLEAN RECORD UNTIL THEY CROSSED PATHS WITH KANAPSKY.

WARREN POLICE OFFICER DAVID KANAPSKY SPENDS A LOT OF TIME IN COURT.

THAT�S BECAUSE HE WRITES A LOT OF TRAFFIC TICKETS �

And a bit more (sorry about the ALL CAPS - this is how the station posted this story):

�MOST OF THEM ARE FOR STOP SIGN VIOLATIONS. IN FACT, LAST YEAR OFFICER KANAPSKY WROTE 2,347 TICKETS JUST FOR STOP SIGN VIOLATIONS.

BUT MANY DRIVERS KANAPSKY TICKETED INSIST THEY DID STOP.
