Cops less likely to arrest if their shift is about to end

https://www.nber.org/papers/w31985#fromrss

Arrests made near the end of an officer's shift typically require overtime work, and officers respond by reducing arrest frequency but increasing arrest quality. Days in which an officer works a second job after their police shift have higher opportunity cost, also reducing late-shift arrests.
