Officers in DeKalb County are calling for a ticket strike because some are upset over pay and benefits.

The DeKalb County police chief warns of punishment if this happens, but organizers said officers should still pull people over, but only give warnings.

"We literally have officers that can't make ends meet," said Jeff Wiggs, president of The DeKalb Fraternal Order of Police

Wiggs doesn't endorse the ticket strike, but understands the frustrations behind it.

"From what officers I've heard from so far they are very disgruntled," Wiggs said.

A blog has been set up called "DeKalb Officers Speak" and calls for an all-out ticket strike by DeKalb police officers. Most of the postings are anonymous.

One officer wrote, “I'm in and so is most of the people on my watch!” Another post in the thread read, “It is time to make a stand.”

Organizers of the strike want officers to give only warnings, not tickets. That way the county doesn't get any of the money from a citation.
