The police department makes no money when someone is arrested. In fact, each arrest costs more to make than is ever recovered by any fine for traffic or criminal arrest.

Are you suggesting government, city, county, state, feds, etc., make no money and or do not recover the money it took to arrest someone, through imposed fines, fees and asset seizures etc?

Could I see the link to this?

What I am saying is when you calculate all of the time involved in a drunk driving arrest...

Could I see a link to this?

And BTW, you said "traffic or criminal" above...And are you referring to all arrests?

Sorry, I cannot supply a link.... all I can tell you after doing ten budgets for my former police agency; our expenses were not reimbursed by fines and asset seizures. So, I would challenge you to supply a link that asserts that all police arrests are compensated by fines, etc.
