Do police departments have quotas?

Do police departments have speeding ticket quotas? If so, is a driver more likely to receive a ticket at certain times?
In the great city of Cincinnati, WLWT-TV looked into this question and found that an officer received a punitive transfer for not meeting his quota. Was it really a quota, though, or was it a goal? A supervising officer doesn't believe that the words 'goal' and 'quota' mean the same thing. Is there a difference? You decide.
