Ticket Furlough: DeKalb Police Write 30 Percent Fewer

DeKalb County, Ga., police officers are fighting back against pay cuts and hitting the county where it hurts: revenue. Records found that officers wrote 30 percent fewer traffic tickets last month compared with July of 2009. Last month, the AJC reported that officers were calling for a ticket furlough to protest the county's unpaid holidays. Officers, who have promoted the protest on a DeKalb police blog, said they are issuing more warnings for speeding and other violations. Atlanta Journal-Constitution
