Law/Patents - Law: Taxation & Customs / speeding tickets
English term or phrase: quote
Hola, prozianos. Tengo una duda con la palabra "quote" en este contexto:

Una chica recibe una multa por exceso de velocidad. Enojada, responde:

"Well, I hope he (the cop) has a great night. I’m sure he made his quote with this little ticket."

Gracias.

Spanish translation:cumplir con su cuota
Explanation:
Por el contexto, parece que el policia tenía que poner un número determinado de multas o se ganaba el sueldo poniendo x multas. Al menos en España, se dice cumplir con la cuota.
Un saludo,
María Lila.
