I wonder how long it will be before this backfires ![[Image: rolleyes.gif]](https://psoriasisclub.org/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
Prince Albert Police Service (Canada) have started an initiative that enables officers to reward youth for positive behaviour.
"Patrol members issue positive “tickets” to youth who are nominated or observed doing something to better the community or themselves by making healthy, positive choices in relation to their behaviour, decisions or actions. (e.g., shovelling a public sidewalk, picking up trash, observing school crossing rules, deterring crime, etc.) “Tickets” are actually coupons or gift certificates donated by local businesses that allow youth to redeem items or experiences like a Raiders game, movie at Galaxy Cinemas, Slurpee, Froster, French fries, hamburger or an ice cream cone."
Now let's look at the Fred way:
#1 Shovel up the leaves into a wheelbarrow and get your reward, then tip it back out so your buddy can have a go.![[Image: clap.gif]](https://psoriasisclub.org/images/smilies/clap.gif)
#2 Hide around the corner after leaving a can on the pavement, then when your buddy across the road gives you the nod you walk around the corner just in front of the police officer and pick up the can.
#3 Get twenty of your buddies to use the school crossing correctly, then you can all go to the Raiders Game together.
#4 Excuse me Mr Policeman I just found this broken padlock on the factory gates.
And finally: The kids grow up to adults, never get a job, and take the Police Force to court for making them fat with all the free junk food they kept giving them.
