Context: The police in SF used to be friendly , courteous people , who would caution you about a minor parking infraction . But last week a cop car literally raced up to our car as we were double parked so my friend could get me some dinner from a takeout deli . The cop jumped out and scribbled out a ticket before I could get out of the car to show him my crutches and damaged ankle from a recent accident . He was so single - minded about giving us a ticket that it crossed my mind that he was going to get some sort of bonus for writing X number of tickets that day .
Question: What could be a plausible reason that the quality of the police in SF has gone downhill ?
Option 0: They are happy to write tickets because it makes their own live 's a bit less miserable
Option 1: Overtime , the morale has changed , and the force has become harsher overall
Option 2: None of the above choices .
Option 3: They have become more racist and are targeting people for no reason
Answer: 1
